In original IL-2 the best landing was when I bounced once, then crashed down, sled to the front edge of the carrier, tipped upside down to the sea, and finally the carrier rammed me, RIP. ?

That might have been me, though not this exact planeset. Just voted for a late war Eastern Front and Italy 1943. The Il-4 is completely out of place for a Battle of Berlin (Prague, Budapest, 'Spring Awakening' offensive, etc.). That would be the Tu-2. The G-10 and A-9/F-9 are obvious for the Luftwaffe but there were just a handful of Dora-11/13s. The He-162 was used very briefly. I'd saw either the FW-189 or He-177 is more likely. Ju-87G with the large 37mm cannons very likely. Italy is an awesome theater for a number of reasons but there's the problem that aside from the Greif, if you leave it for that expansion, the Axis side is mostly Italian planes. Which I am all for but I do not know how well that would sell. Battle of France is also interesting but that wouldn't fit the 'all-in-one' new theater (map and plane set) current setup. I can imagine it as a planeset only but then the June battles wouldn't be covered, no? Question regarding the PTO - would people be interested in an expansion over China or Burma? Stuff like the Ki-43 and Ki-44 versus Spitfire Mk. VIII or P-51As rather than the US Navy island hopping campaign? 1

Stuff like the Ki-43 and Ki-44 versus Spitfire Mk. VIII or P-51As rather than the US Navy island hopping campaign? Good point. Carriers would require a all new set of planes that are tailhook capable. We already have some of the plane types used over land as mentioned, the Spitfire, P-40 and P-51. They might be easier to modify for the theatre. A Flying Tigers scenario would have a lot of sales potential I would think as iconic as they were. If it were successful it might spark an interest to make more Pacific content. 3 hours ago, Burdokva said: Battle of France is also interesting but that wouldn't fit the 'all-in-one' new theater (map and plane set) current setup. I can imagine it as a planeset only but then the June battles wouldn't be covered, no? Well with the release of Battle of Normandy the map would be there. Hurricanes and Spitfire's are already in place with slight modifications. A Dewontine 520 would be a nice addition. To me that would be a logical step. But what do I know? I'm just a consumer. I don't have to make the stuff with a constrained budget.
Beebop Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Love to see it. But until it comes..... For your Battle of France missions and for use in the upcoming Battle of Normandy release I give you the LaGG-3 hacked as a Dewoitine 520: Download Link:https://www.mediafire.com/file/kszcadcrm3kmccg/BBop_LaGG-3_D-520.7z/file 1 1

I really don't know what would be more "refreshing" to this series other than carrier ops. But yeah, still, a niche inside a niche. Anyway can always dream! 1 1

messsucher Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 30 minutes ago, Feathered_IV said: To be honest I'm not expecting any more modules after BoN. Yeah, well. Thought about that and in my opinion they should maybe save carrier ops for later. It would expand the life of the game since carrier ops supposedly draw people and keep them in game. If they release carrier ops after Normandy people will become bored of it in two years and there is nothing big for them to wait anymore. That's why better release one or two lesser expansions before carrier ops, then make great carrier ops with higher standards possible in the future.

Weegas Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Top three would have to be Italy, SCW, and then Finland. I'd love to see the first because having the Axis planes made up entirely of Italian models would be a welcome change of pace to seeing yet another Bf-109 variant. The second would be interesting because interwar planes are distinct, and there'd be the potential to include a really cool campaign mode pertaining to the various factions involved in the Spanish Civil War, and how each side found themselves using each other's aircraft. The third is a good compromise between those who want more variety and those who aren't interested in lesser-known theaters. I'd consider it to be the most likely to actually get made, especially considering the addition of the Hurricane and the progress of the fanmade Finland map.

I'd consider it to be the most likely to actually get made, especially considering the addition of the Hurricane and the progress of the fanmade Finland map. As I've said before there's the list of WWII theaters, and there's the list of widely marketable WWII theaters. The number of theaters falling into the latter category is markedly smaller than the first. Smaller still when Team Fusion is considered. The developers need to maintain and better yet, grow the user base. These backwater and/or little known theaters will do neither despite some of you having a particular affection for one or the other. It might surprise you but Finland is a lesser known theater - I wouldn't put money on that one. In any case, the choice of the next theater after Normandy will be the most interesting (and perhaps most pivotal) announcement to date IMO. Edited October 12, 2020 by Gambit21 1

My money is on an Eastern Front 1944-1945 module to finish out the remaining Soviet planes that have yet to be modeled, as well as the few German ones left that aren't bombers (Yak-3, La-7, Yak-9U, Tu-2; P-39 Q; Bf 109 G-10, Fw 190 A-9, Ju 87 D-5, Hs 129 B-3, Ta 152).

I'd guess if not PTO, then that's the most likely. I hope that's not it, but it arguably makes the most sense if you're thinking Russian market only. From a wider market standpoint however... I think the user base/growth will flat-line with another full Russia release. I acknowledge that the Russian market needs the Yak-3, La-7 at some point, however I'm not sure a full release catering to just that market will pencil out. I'd rather see the product move on, and grow, and those aircraft released as premium/collectors options used with a 3rd party map effort. Win Win IMHO. We need fresh blood on the Axis side...and you know what that means.... Edited October 12, 2020 by Gambit21 2
BraveSirRobin Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Obviously late Eastern is coming at some point. It could be next. But I think Italy is also a very good possibility.
Feathered_IV Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) I wonder how people would receive a Cross-channel 41-43 version of the Normandy map? Presumably that and some sub types of existing aircraft would be one of the cheapest options to produce. Edited October 12, 2020 by Feathered_IV

Yes, that's the most likely option. The question is, on which map will we see these aircraft? Berlin, Courland, East Prussia, Hungary or Poland?
Trooper117 Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Barbarossa... if it's eastern front, give us Barbarossa! 1
CountZero Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Map would be Poland 1945, 450x400km parts betwen Warsaw and Berlin (probably on map in not flyable zone like Moscow), you dont get all thouse airplanes in Hungary or Courland or East Prussia, and if you focus on Berlin you have to have big bombers then, so best for what game is able to do is march to Berlin from east in 1945. Also you leve Yak-9U and Ta-152H for collector airplanes and get more money for them, and you must have IL-2 or IL-10 for that late east front DLC in game named Sturmovik , and insted Ta-152 you add one german bomber He-111H20 fits most. Also When they talked what next after BoBp Han posted on russian forum he was for Liberation of Poland DLC, and we got Normandy now, so big chance Poland is next as its easeyet to make out of other options. From 11:45 to 13:20 is area i see them go for: Edited October 13, 2020 by CountZero
