When the graphics for one model is done, the developer, who did the graphics, is free for the next model, while the next developer starts the next developing step for the first aircraft. Like assembly line production.... I am just posting what the devs themselves said, 12 weeks to finish an airplane. Do I need to find the post? Edited August 23, 2019 by JonRedcorn

If a Meteor comes it will probably be a Meteor III... even so, with new Rolls Royce Derwent engines, and increased thrust from 1,700lbs to 2,000lbs, it still falls short from it's potential opposition, the Me 262A. Meteor III speed at 30,000ft was 493mph and 453mph at sea level... The Me 262A would attain 536mph at 23,000ft. And yes, in reality, the two never met, but in game they obviously will as some people will want a bit of IL2 1946 action.

I'd be interested to see what a Meteor vs Me262 fight would be like. Even if they never met historically. They *could have* in other circumstances... and if memory serves, almost did except for another Allied flight got involved and the Meteors were nearly attacked as the pilots were shooting at any jet.

They never got even close. The case you're thinking of is Meteors almost engaging a flight of FW 190s, which would have been their one and only encounter with German aircraft at all, but they had to break off because of the other allied flight. 1

But this does not mean, that all devs work through this 12 weeks currently on this one aircraft. Like I posted above, one guy starts working on the aircraft and when he is ready with his part, the next one takes over and does his job on this aircraft, and then the next. But in this time the first developer of course starts the next aircraft and so on. So yes, the time for one aircraft might be 12 weeks, but in this time they work on several aircrafts at once.
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Aircraft are designed in parallel. That is why we will get the P-51, P-38 and possibly the Tempest at the same time. It is not a linear process, either individually or collectively. 1
Winglesschip209 Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 As long as theirs no more 109's and 190's ill be happy my hanger is full of those variants what i hope to see not touching the pacific theater yet would be... Horten Ho 229 Hurricane B-24 B-25 B-17 B-29

Tyberan Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 I'd really like to see the mossie, just think of the raiding missions that could be made, all low level stuff.

Making aircraft is a painstaking effort these days. And why devs couldn't do this effort to give us some of the most important planes of this time ? Seriously… I don't care piloting these things, but having 262 and 30 mm guns fw190 and not the bombers they were designed to fight with is really strange.

Jade_Monkey Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 Im gonna throw in a other wild guess: The Brewster Buffalo and the Macchi C200. Solely based on the comments I've read about the community made battle of Finland map. 1 2

I do hope they can take us back to that theatre at some point though. 1

Seriously… I don't care piloting these things, but having 262 and 30 mm guns fw190 and not the bombers they were designed to fight with is really strange. "Battle of Bodenplatte" portrays the air war over the Low Countries and Western Germany from September 1944 to March 1945 and not the, by then, deteriorated Defence of the Reich. The Me 262 is included because KG 51, a fighter-bomber unit, was equipped with it. Fw 190 A-8/R2 of IV./JG 3 and II./JG 4 took part in the Ardennes Offensive and Unternehmen Bodenplatte itself. Speaking of bombers in general, BoBP had to be focused on fighter(-bombers). That's why the Ar 234 B-2 and Mitchell II should be the top priorities in terms of collector planes. 1
Cpt_Siddy Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) Considering how much "historicity" goes on in your average Multiplayer server, having meteors and 262's duke it out is prolly the smallest offender her. Edited August 24, 2019 by Cpt_Siddy 2

TheBlackPenguin Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 It seems there has been an upswing of votes for the Meteor; having the Meteor III opens up possibility of having the earlier mark too if we have Operation crossbow (although limited to V1 rocket intercepts) and the associated attacks over Northern Europe. I have brain farted the other tactical operation at the time, and if we're not heading to the Pacific next then maybe this period could be a good one to cover... But, would we likely get to two British collector Planes? Meteor, Mosquito or Spitfire XIV? Axis plane? Me410?

Buffalo had quite an interesting history, my first encounter with it was with the Matchbox 1/72 model kit. I'd like it too in context, but it's a bit ugly which gives it its charm. This is the matchbox kit: 1
CountZero Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 Buffalo is coming with midway, so no need for it to be collectable now
esk_pedja Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Soo... What would present B-29 over North-West Europe anyway ??? If developers team remains together, after BP is finished, maybe to take a good rest, and make some Battle for Malta project or Reich defense 1943/1944... or some Asia/Pacific project ?
The_Ant Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 P51B or C - Hawker Typhoon or spitfire Mk14 since it fits Boddenplate timeframe and would be easy to produce,with recently done material.

easyhomewin Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Hoping for Ar-234 & Meteor. Jason hinted that an jet dog fight with the meteor and 262 would be interesting in an interview a while back and I love the 234 on il2 46. I also think these two aircraft had the closest thing to all jet encouter during ww2 when a base housing meteors was bombed by some Ar-234's but buy the time the meteors where airbourne the Ar-234's were long gone.
esk_pedja Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 My vote goes to Me 109 G-10 / P-51B ( ...western dogfights)

JG_deserteagle540 Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 My guess: Allies: Spitfire XIV or Hawker Typhoon Axis: Bf109G10 or FW190A9 1
kitsunelegend Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 My guess? Li-2/C-47 (or just an Li-2 with a couple C-47 skins) And of course... The swordfish. Seeing how popular the Po-2 seemingly was, it'd be a no-brainer to add. ;D 1 1
