Redwo1f 227 Posted November 26, 2019 The Tiffy is AMAZING!!!!!! - there you go! 🤣 Actually, this release will include some of my very favorite WW2 aircraft including the Mosquito, Razorback P-47, my very favorite german aircraft, Me-410, as well as the Tiffy!!!! - and throw in the earlier Mustangs to boot?!?? --- so an absolute ton to like for me! 👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

71st_AH_Barnacles 535 Posted November 26, 2019 Great news! My wishes are that some of the earlier planes, ie Spitfire Mk V and P40 are "localised" ie a British/American pilot selectable and western bombs available. Also some Lincolnshire/East Anglia bases for the mosquitoes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shady147_VR 34 Posted November 26, 2019 I'm very happy with Normandy being the new chapter in the IL-2 series, just a few days ago I was thinking about how awesome the cockpits of the P-51B and Razorback P-47 would be. Definitely some iconic aircraft I look forward to having in the game. Moreover, it will be cool to integrate this with Battle of Bodenplatte. I wish the development team the best of luck!

Ouky1991 574 Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Carrier ops would make this game complete for me, that feature would bring in a lot of new customers as well. I'd like to know, what was the reason for not going to PTO, since there is so much info already in the dev assistance part of the forum. Normandy is just more of the same, I was really hoping for some fresh gameplay elements. ☹️ Edited November 26, 2019 by Ouky1991 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1./JG42Nephris 191 Posted November 26, 2019 Great anouncement! There are seriously guys discussing about the price and choice of next theatre...

71st_AH_Barnacles 535 Posted November 26, 2019 If you have a Spit XIV it'd make sense to have a high alt german plane. Hope the appropriate engine mods are available for the G6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-RR-Napoleon- 39 Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Sooo, Im totally loving this despite all my wishes for other battles I'm about to preorder. this is a great choice with great planes. Buuuuuut I'm only 95% excited because I think a plane is missing. The A-20G, the allies could really use a flyable medium strike aircraft that can be multi crewed.

BlitzPig_EL 2394 Posted November 26, 2019 Well I am a bit disappointed as I was looking forward to getting back in some Japanese aircraft, but, the razor back Mustang, and the Spit XIV have my undivided attention. Pre ordered. Perhaps I will be around long enough to see the Pacific done. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6FG_Big_Al 506 Posted November 26, 2019 I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed somewhere. The Pacific would have been a dream, and at least there were things you could interpret that it would come, but that was just wishful thinking. What makes me even sadder is the fact that for the next 2-4 years probably nothing will change in this matter. But now to the nice things. Normandy is a solid scenario and the 410 on the German side the undisputed eye candy for me! Also the razorback versions are a welcome addition I can look forward to now. The only pity are the C-47 and B-26 (for the time being) because they will only be available as AI and we can only expect a playable version after the Normandy release. Just as the story of the Li-2 is unclear and the B-25 has no date for "completion" in sight. Nevertheless, I'm happy and pray that we will set off to new shores after this western scenario.

rodgerdavies 14 Posted November 26, 2019 Originally when I saw the announcement I was a little bit disappointed. To be honest, I wouldn’t fancy a game based purely around Midway, because of how great the Il2:GB career mode is, but I was hoping for Italy as my first choice and something like a Papua New Guinea / Solomons campaign if not. But the more I consider it, I remember how great it is that Moscow, Stalingrad and Kuban continue on from one another and how the plane sets of each of those overlap to make each Eastern front game deeper than an individual product. And this is the same. Bodenplatte will make Normandy better and Normandy will make Bodenplatte better. And with all those planes built already, Italy will be amazing when it does come But seriously, I’m looking forward to a Western front career from ‘43 to ‘45 - heck, as a German pilot there is a career from ‘41 to ‘45 there if you have a lengthy train journey in the middle. On smaller details, I hope to see some key days play out in the SP career, but the AR 234 seems a strange inclusion for this time period and its a pity the Spitfire is a collector plane, although with so many great Allied ones I guess one had to make way... Oh, and at least it’s not Korea! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
