At the end of the video, we have included a full list of all flyable aircraft, including all variants, available in both IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover Blitz, which you will need to own in order to play the expansion, along with the outstanding channel and desert war types and variants. Let us know which of the new aircraft will be the first you will fly when the game is released! 16 4 7
Team Fusion ATAG_Pattle Posted June 22, 2020 Author Team Fusion Posted June 22, 2020 No. includes existing Cliffs of Dover Aircraft ?
timothy55 Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Which ones to fly first, for me tropicalised versions of aircraft spark my interest. I have my eye in particular on the Tomahawk, never flown one in simulation. Tropicalised Spitfire Vs , JU88C, Gladiator, and quite fancy being a gunner in a Wellington, the turrets look very well modelled. Tropicalised Messerschmitts will also be a joy to fly. Yes guys from a veteran simulation pilot a hearty well done! 1
theOden Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 My most probable order of tries: Martlet Tomahawk Dewiotine C.202 CR.42 Bf-108 Wellington (torpedo run) 4
4thFG_Cap_D_Gentile Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Tomahawk, Kittyhawk, Wildcat all at the same time ? 4
quartermiler1 Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Oooooooo!! The Wellington on torpedo runs! Wow! At age 79 I've fallen in love again............ with ALL of these aircraft! 1 1

Missionbug Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 That is a very comprehensive selection of aircraft coming our way, really looking forward to actually taking to the air in them. Hard to say what I personally want the most, Wellington, D-520 and Bf-108 are quite unique as flyable types and so very welcome additions to the IL-2 brand and to the flyable line up for me but there are so many great aircraft available to the player that this new module I think has to be top of any purchase list for anyone interested in this genre. Take care and be safe. Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
Enceladus828 Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Great to see pretty much all of the new planes here. Really like the Bf-108 at 4:00 Speaking of which, I read a few months back that the Bf-108 may not make the initial release and may come out in a, like, Patch 5.1. Is that still the case, or have you guys been able to have the Bf-108 released with all the other planes? Cheers. Edited June 22, 2020 by Novice-Flyer
Yardstick Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Did you see that crazy reflector sight in the Dewiotine - how big is that thing! Wouldn't fancy the chances for my face in the event of a wheels up landing. I hadn't noticed the new exhaust flames before - nice a subtle. Love how those cockpits are modelled - they stand up to or maybe surpass anything else out there.
danielprates Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 What I like the most is the wide variery of planes. Level bombers, a transport (taifun), heavy fighters on both sides.... obsolescent fighters .... it feels "real".

The question was whether two players could fly it at the same time so a real two person instructor/student situation... it looks like we won't have the time to code that, but it will be flyable by a single player and there will be training missions for it. (it will be the advanced trainer... Tiger Moth is the basic trainer)
sevenless Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Looks like a winner for me. Bring it on. Not only desert war, looks like we can extend battle of britain far into 1941/42. I like what I see here. Edited June 22, 2020 by sevenless
=FEW=Hauggy Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Very nice! Did you manage to fix some of the old intrument glitches we had? Namely in the BR 20 if I remember the artificial horizon had some issues. Also any chance to see the head movement in the cockpit improved (kind of limited with trackir compared to Il-2 BoS). Any improvements for the gunners? If I remember correctly the gun wouldn't move when firing. Can't wait to see some new pilot models. Edited June 22, 2020 by =FEW=Hauggy
FurphyForum Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Ahh, just like a kid in a lollie shop....Hard to say which AC to fly first, as so much hard work and effort has gone into making these AC, and it does show. Well Done.

This is not really a issue/bug, but due the fact that in default keys profile left mouse button (typically used for fire gunger MG) is assigned for camera function (hold to zoom), so when pressed for fire MG the camera command don't allow move cursor. Is just matter of reassign keys for fix. 1

=FEW=Hauggy Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Will start with either the Tomahawk or the Dewoitine.
Avimimus Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 You really ought not to tease us so.... when we can't preorder...... It is even worse as - these more rapid updates, and the fact that they are on Steam as well, and the fact that it is in Beta... give me hope release will happen before fall.
Buffo002 Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) And it would not be possible to put the addon 5.0 Beta on sale now. Now that is done and then those bugs or unfinished work would be compensated by updates or full version 5.0. We can't stand it anymore and we are happy for what is already done. We want to fly 5.0 please. cz: (používám překladač tak tady je to česky, třeba to někdo dobře přeloží) A nešlo by, dát už teď do prodeje addon 5.0 Beta . Nyní co je už hotové a pak by se ty chyby nebo nedodělky kompenzovali aktualizacemi anebo až plná verze 5.0. My to už nevydržíme a jsme rádi za to, co už je hotové. My chceme už létat 5.0 prosím. Edited June 23, 2020 by Buffo002
LLv34_Flanker Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 S! Very nice. I will propably fly the Bf110 first. Grown to like the plane and it looks very nice. C.202 another contender. Will take a bit to fly them all ? 1
Royal_Flight Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 I’ve been following the development of TF5.0 over the last couple of months with increasing interest, and I now can’t wait for the release. I was all set to take the Tomahawk up for a spin first, and it’s still probably the aircraft I’m most looking forward to flying. But the video reminded me how many cool things are on the way... the CR.42 and Gladiator combo look like great fun for a dogfight, and the Wellington is easily the most ambitious bomber in any modern flight sim and I’m dead keen to give it a go, especially if I can have other human crew in it. And I wasn’t expecting to fall for the D.520 quite so much either. Basically, the point is there’s a lot of great work represented in the video and I’m keen to get flying. 1
Boomerang Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Thank you for sharing, looks fantastic. Really like the different variations of the theme music also. ?? . Best Regards 1
Docholiday Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Great work Guys ! All these new planes makes me waiting for this Game impatiently... BUT ... The Ju-88C Versions are the burner for me !!! Together with the Beaufighters and The Blenheim IVF it is the base for future Battles over sea of these big, heavy armed twomot fighters. I love it !!!!!! Cheers Doc PS: perhaps one fine day we will see in a later game-expansion (Battle over Biscaya ? ) Mosquitos and Baufighter X two ?! That would be really incredible ?

Team Fusion ATAG_Pattle Posted June 24, 2020 Author Team Fusion Posted June 24, 2020 Hi All, Thanks for so many positive comments on this update. We still have some areas to iron out prior to release, but as you can see, we are getting closer to that point. Having flown every aircraft when making the video, I can tell you the cockpits are stunning in their detail, and from a landscape view, the different times of the day really change the appearance of the landscape. The Bf 108 was looking like it would miss release and be one of the first updates post, but the guys dug deep and it will now be available for everyone to fly. Today I flew it (too) close to our new Royal Navy battleships. 1. Don't go near a Royal Navy battleship 2. Their anti-aircraft capabilities are phenomenal and absolutely deadly! The whole front of the aircraft was blown off! Good luck to all those trying to attack them unless you are in a co-ordinated attack ? Cheers, Pattle 3 2
smink1701 Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Absolute best job of rendering the Tomahawk/ Kittyhawk/ P40 cockpits! 1
SquashmanMikeEH Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) I never doubted that the wait would be worthwhile, but gentlemen, you have surpassed all expectation - a veritable tour de force of how a flight sim should be. Just amazing! Edited June 24, 2020 by SquashmanMikeEH Typo 2 1
sallee Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Fantastic stuff. I returned to Cliffs of Dover a few weeks ago and it really is beautiful. One of the things it does really well is sunlight and blue skies, so this new theatre should look amazing. Dewoitine! Torpedoes! Can't wait! 1
=FEW=Hauggy Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 The cockpits do look great. Can't wait for the day we'll be able to lay our hands on this. 5
