On the state of FW 190 D9

[Bremspropeller]

No offense taken.

While it would be nice from a functionality standpoint to have the airplane as well equipped, as "standard", I think it's a nice touch nonetheless to have a less than ideal aircraft depicted.

As long as the airplane performs up to stats, I don't really care. The ammo-counters offer little: Most aircraft in game don't even have them to begin with. I can live with it...

 

Remember: The airplane also features an EZ 42, R4M and in career lets you fly with MW 50 in October '44.

So there's a good deal on the "have" side...

In all honesty I've always though the D-9 to be one of the best looking aircraft in the sim when it comes to model/texture.

The D-9 model is meant to represent a mid-production model plane, not one in the early fall of '44, when there was still a chance to have everything as Focke-Wulf intended to be. Hence why you see things like missing ammo counters, wooden instrument boards, and hand-painted placards.

I consider the D-9 to be my most favorite plane in IL-2. Looks great. Sounds great. Feels great. Smells great.

You got Smell-O-Vision??? Wow.

 

D-9, although not a ride I have used extensively - is a pretty bird.

Yeah, well that just shows how immersive an experience IL-2 can be in VR.
