Sublime Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 This is just my opinion. But on the Ost Front its crazy to me we dont see any Allied transport aircraft especially C47s. They were everywhere and VERY common. The West too. No FW189s.. ive read a loy of accounts of those. I only suggest perhaps AI only versions to fill out the airspace some. Also I know it aint happening but to me the idea of NWE Jan 45 W.O 4 engined bombers like B17s / B24s / Lancs is crazy to me. Is what it is. I *would* really like to see random mil traffic besides just in the bubble in career mode etc. I understand this may cause memory issues so I had an idea. Lets use Stalingrad for an example. The German air bridge. On a career in Stalingrad as VVS maybe have a couple of corridor routes where thered be a chance each missoon of a flight of JU52s and escorts or not to fly along the corridor to land at Pitomnik. May not have anything to do with your mission. Non air related itd really be huge even if ONLY random trains driving arnd were sprinkled. Convoys on the road more so but I understand they can only do so much and other stuff likr single AI is more important. Using Stalingrad again if you were Luftwaffe perhaps tone down the transport flighrs but still have them but add roving bands of fighters along the air route looking for transports. Western front dakota flights or small groups of bombers. Just a thought. How about yours?

I wonder why it is so hard to add the AI Ju-52s to the Stalingrad career? Or any of the career chapters for that matter.
Sublime Posted June 10, 2019 Author Posted June 10, 2019 It would go a long way even just doing that with the speculated ai revamp and working with what we got - perhaps designating idk a20s or a certain peshka as a transport variant like the heinkel 111 can do. Its just noticeable the allies dont have a transport aircraft especially when historically they swamped the Germans with c47s etc. There certainly were more flying around than Ju52s by a lot... And again I know IL2 GB is more tactical/operational but I still just csnt wrap my head arnd NWE 1945 with no 4 engine evem AI bombers. Especially given the huge importance they dictated the fighter war in - necesitating the high alt engines we see, the rockets we have, the me262 we'll get. Ah well. Of course someone will say they should fix or finesse whats already there and maybe theres something to that. I just hope if they hit a wall somewhere maybe they consider that along with the Pacific which Im admittedly pumped about. Im not sure if Im as pumped ad Id be if they said they were finishing Russian Front thru 45 and doing West say Aug 42 thru BP. Totally off topic the 262 looks awesome in YT vids about that flight sim conf. When requiem was looking at the modification panel there was a fuel pump / throttle thingy. I wonder what that does... I also noticed theres an option to take out 2 of the 30mm for the ground attack variant as someone discussing the plane noted from an in game loading screen still. So it appears both versions will be in.. Ot again - if you were to take a early FW and want to take say the U17 mod for the extra engine power but use it as a fighter is this a good idea? Or does the extra weight or something not make it worth it and theres a reason why the fighter versions werent all just made that way?
