Torps would be great but what plane set can use them? A20, ju88, he111 h6?

 

Depends how strictly historical you want to be. The Ju-88 and He-111 could carry them. The A-20 could carry them but maybe not the glazed-nosed version we have. There were field modification kits that allowed the IL-2 to carry them, but it's debatable if they were actually ever used in battle.

I would love to see torpedoes added. With the European theatres we have they can be used in BON and BOK.

What I'd like to see the most are the AB (cluster bombs) for the blue side, specifically the ones filled up with anti-armor bomblets (SD-4).

As most people know it´s only matter of time when we will get all the content for DLC BATTLE OF NORMANDY.

Although we already have some ships in game I think it would be great to have option to arm bombers like Ju-88 or He-111 with torpedoes instead of regular bombs for naval targets.

In Normandy was large number of ships that were participating in landing on D-DAY and later during supplying forces in France or situation when battleships and cruisers operated as artillery support.

So my question is simple, will we get torpedoes for already existing models in game?

 

Thank you for your answers.

Dear Devs,

We want torpedoes!!

A WW2 flying sim without them is incomplete. We don't have to wait to a future Pacific expansion to have them.

Please, I beg you, listen to your customers and give them to us. :)

Now, I can be publicly lynched but somebody had to say the plain truth.

More naval combat in general would be great to see. I'd love to see a swordfish and other carrier aircraft.

In Desert Wings-Tobruk there's a flyable He-111H-6 where you can carry torpedoes and a torpedo bomber variant of the Wellington 1C.

 

There has been talk of including the Swordfish and the SM.79 in the next (IL-2 Dover) installment.

Torpedoes we want!

What about starting by selling a couple of torpodeos bombers as collector planes? It would skyrocket the sell for sure.

I would ask( I don' t remember if already asked), if the Ju 88 version we  will get with Normandy will have torpedoes weapon option...

I'd like anti ships missions..

Don't think so, ju88 torpedo bomber was based on A4 airframe and with Normandy we'll get C6 which was heavy fighter version.

Not sure were there field modification of ju88a4 as torpedo bomber.

 

Still they could model ju88a17 on A4 airframe and sell it as a collector.

There were groups of up to 90 ju88 torpedo bombers attacking British ports and supply ships in the Channel, would fit BoN nicely.

 

Il2GB is improving a lot but not in gameplay variety which has been stale and copy paste for nearly a decade so this would be a refreshing suprise and quite welcome after disappointment of not getting medium bombers and PTO.

Ju 88 A4 is already in the game, with Kuban. I'm sure torpedoes are in the roadmap already. Just not sure if it's the near or distant future.

BoN planeset is set, collector aircrafts too so i don't see it in near future.

Also taking in mind recent Jason's posts about torpedo bombers and highly possible late war Eastern front as next expansion i think they're a bit off/distant....unfortunately!

 

Torpedos forbidden subject on this forum?

You guys should ease a bit with moderation and let us enjoy discussing our wishes and dreams.

Those wishes and dreams made some of us investing a lot of money in this sim in order to support you to some day develop all those nice things.
