Beazil Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 I honestly can't think of which to fly first. I have a hankering for some Dewo action. I also want to try the Martlet, the Kitty, the F2, the 108.... I'll probably just stare at the renders for a while first.
BlueHeron Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Hurricane. Been so long since I flew a Hurricane!

In steam, go to your Blitz page in the Library... look on the right hand side and you will see it there under 'manage my dlc'. It will automatically download when the game is released..

Also, if you navigate specifically to the steam store page dedicated to Il2: Desert Wings: Tobruk, it will say on that page just below the pictures along the green line "IN LIBRARY" (also it will be removed from your wish list if you wish listed it). ?
Jim_Hawker Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Congrats to the team! I'll give the Martlet a spin first probably.

FTC_Karaya Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) From the store page Quote In this exciting new IL-2 STURMOVIK: CLIFFS OF DOVER - BLITZ add-On, you can fly with the Regia Aeronautica, the Luftwaffe or the Royal Air Force. Experience everything from 1940 biplane dogfights between Gladiators and CR-42's to clashes between sleek Macchis and rugged Kittyhawks in 1941-42. Fly stubby Martlets, sturdy Hurricanes and the graceful Spitfire in combat against deadly Messerschmitts as they battle over this far-flung part of the globe. Stubbyness confirmed ? As for what to fly first: Bf109E-7 trop and after that the Stubby Mk.III Edited July 31, 2020 by JG4_Karaya

Buffo002 Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 The first plane? All planes: D You can't just say that. I'm just looking forward to all the new planes and of course the new war map of Africa, and lots of new improvements in Blitz. Super work TFS
AndyJWest Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 I'll probably fly the Bf 108 first. I've been following the restoration of one on Kermit Weeks' YouTube channel (Latest episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOLE2yj0PHQ. Well worth watching if you are interested in aircraft structures, since they've had to strip a wing right down to its component parts) and have come to appreciate what a well-engineered aircraft it was. A chance to admire the model, and the map, and to sort out controls etc before I start with the shooty stuff.

What does 'svelte' mean??? ..........?.......?...........?......? Ok, googled svelt,(uneducated Southerner here, naught + naught = double naught). One of them high falutin words. You can keep your upvote. S!Blade<>< 1

Oh dear, just hope the devs didn't manage to model the other great advantage of all F4Fs and Martlets: their chunkyness, which made them almost invincible, especially in desert climates.

It is a lot lighter... with only four .50 cals, no tailhook, no folding wings, no life raft, etc. The engine is also lighter, with the two speed supercharger optimized for lower levels instead of the multi stage, multi speed version in the US variants. I think people will be surprised at how maneuverable it is... but of course... speed is not its forte. ? Oh, and don't forget to crank up the undercarriage... no electric switch here. 3
56RAF_Stickz Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 beaufighter+bombs, beaufighter and beaufighter. Then might try to sneak the tomahawk in but dont tell busdriver
buster_dee Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 That Martlet is going to get me into trouble. I'm lukewarm about fighters (because I have NO skills), but like the drama of fighting Uboats from a postage stamp with machines who's best quality is taking a beating. That little fighter (and Sting Bags) always make me long for North Atlantic (or Gibraltar) sim. In the meantime, I'll just enjoy TFS' creativity. Can't wait to take the 'underdogs' for a spin. 1
Avimimus Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Quick question: I assume it makes sense to uninstall the game and let it do a full re-install at launch? I'm assuming there will be changes to keybindings anyway, and that the time for a fresh install won't be much longer than an update (given all of the changes since 4.57).
Corto Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Bought! My first plane: Bf-108 Taifun Trainer/Personal Transport (i have to fly Mr. Marseille to the airfield Gazala) ?

Not really. For Cliffs Of Dover it is an update from 4.57.3 to 5.0 and "Desert Wings - TOBRUK" is additional content. I've been doing that all the time (updating a 4.57.3 to 5.0 and adding the DLC) and I have never had any anomalies. 1
