SCG_FeuerFliegen 128 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Most looking forward to 410, followed by Mosquito. Definitely looking forward to flying every single one of them, even things like the Fw190 A-6, as my hopes are up that we will get lots of variants similar to the A-8, making it a good plane to have with unique options and not simply an A-5 with A-8 wings. Same goes for the Bf109 G-6/Late 1 Link to post Share on other sites

[=PzG=]-FlyinPinkPanther 266 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I really never get the idea that people take exception to those that criticize a game. They are here because they like the game to start off with. The desire for something better is not a distaste. Conversely, someone that loves the game isn't blinded by its faults, though they are childishly called "fanboys." IL-2 and DCS obviously have high standards, but they are are taking a real tangible object and rendering it virtually. Imperfections is going to be apparent despite the efforts to the contrary. 6 Link to post Share on other sites
simfan2015 195 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 The P47 will be great in DCS too as soon as there are good campaigns over the channel map for it and once it will be v completed. Until then I fly the DCS version only occasionally. IL 2 though is, imho, still unbeatable as a true immersive experience. That is the reason I left the WWII warbird experience for Il-2. DCS WWII still feels like a WIP. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Having attackers with good low-alt performance and good bomb loads will be a nice change of pace. Definitely hankering for those planes. That, and the map.

Low level mayhem, that's waht I love and for that the Fw190 and the Tiffy 💥💥💥 I'm kinda curious about the Me 410 and the P51 B. For me, the P51B is one of the big beauties (adore her much more than the "all time favourite" D- modell) And the Me 410.....much speed and much booooom if we get the B2 Version so called "Destroyer"😎 Can't wait to get my hands on their sticks Edited January 17 by easterling77 Link to post Share on other sites
