Jason_Williams Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Quote 278 Dear Friends! Today’s DD is not long, but wanted to say that in addition to working on many aircraft, features and improvements, we’re also making some moves internally with the addition of, and search for, new personnel while adding responsibilities to others. This adds overhead costs to our operation which we hope will pay for itself in time, but we ask that you continue your financial support of Sturmovik throughout this spring and summer and al of 2021 by purchasing new content and buying gifts for your friends, family and squadron-mates. And please remember, purchases made directly in the IL-2 Official Webstore benefit the team the most! Full News HERE... 9 10 4
CCG_Pips Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Many thanks Jason !!! You want we purchase MORE ? Give us more contents to buy ..................> FOR EXAMPLE, with these beautifull US paratroopers, do it flyable and I will buy 10 x C-47 ...........? 2 4
ShamrockOneFive Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Both new items look great. Love the Nieuport 28's lines and that the tactical codes are already working there too! Fantastic. 1
Enceladus828 Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Hope that guy's carrying Easter eggs in his side bag 2 3
6FG_Big_Al Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 What a lovely Nieuport! Can't wait to fly her ❤️
AEthelraedUnraed Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Can't wait to fly the Nieuport! She looks absolutely gorgeous. Regarding the paratroopers, I do wonder though what their visible distance will be. I did a quick 'n dirty infantry mod a while back, which basically just spawns the infantry you see running away from vehicles if you damage them. It only really works for the BOS infantry though, since the more recent infantry models are only visible from up close, which as a pilot is something you'll only rarely be. I don't suppose there's any chance of increasing the visible range? 1
Rjel Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 The paratroopers look right out of Band of Brothers. Very cool. 1
PatrickAWlson Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 The N28 was always my favorite Nieuport. Beautiful, clean lines. 1 4
ilmavoimat Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 I am waving my Visa card for a flyable C-47!!! 4 6

There are still so many beautiful planes waiting to be implemented by you. I wish you every success with the implementation. Hopefully many more exciting and successful years of IL2 Great Battles. ?

Bando Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 N28!! In ROF it had the best engine sound I've ever heard. Loved that plane. Thank you team!! 5 1
354thFG_Panda_ Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Good work as always Jason and Team! Loving the detail put in the paratrooper and other assets in this simulation.?Any word on the Fuel/Systems works or droptanks? Normandy is going to be an unmatchable experience when everything combines. 2
Obelix Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 When I saw the US paratroopers, I felt like flying a C-47.... I had a dream ? 2 2
jollyjack Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Well done and promising, but my personal platoon sergeant alas put a lid on my IL2 budget; bought FC2, BoN for myself, and four BoX extended packages plus some collector planes as gift ... 1
ChauveViking Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 The paratrooper is really impressive, can we finally hope for a flyable C-47?
Enigma89 Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) Those infantry models look better than some full blown FPS games, good job Edited April 2, 2021 by Enigma89 4

Each time I was flying this plane, I felt like I was using my garden brush cutter (Due to the engine sound !!!) ? Edited April 2, 2021 by CCG_Pips 1
ZachariasX Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Looking great! Can't wait to fly that sweet little Nieuport. Great job!!
01Wingchaps Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 That Nieuport 28 is gorgeous. It'll be a favorite of mine... And those paratroopers... Excellent!
Pikestance Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Beautiful plane and paratrooper! Just a small detail question; shouldn't the patch not bend with the sleeve?
BMA_Hellbender Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Great stuff! Hopefully the N28 will fly as well as it looks. ? 3

Jaws2002 Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) Awesome little Noop28.? 15 minutes ago, PatrickAWlson said: Well, it didn't in real life so ... . Kind of like the Pfalz, it's a looker but I would rather trust my life to a SPAD. Sorry but that's BS. It flew extremely well. It just had problems at higher speeds, in dive, ....just like half of WW1 planes. It bled too much speed during maneuvers, in ROF, because the developers used Spad 13's wing profile, in the FM of the Noop28... Edited April 2, 2021 by Jaws2002 1
DetCord12B Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Any chance you could change the paratroopers from the 100-and-worst to the 82nd? ? Seriously though, they look great and spot on.
DBFlyguy Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Awesome to see the first FC II aircraft in game, I'll be getting that one once a few of the first aircraft drop and the progress on the BON paratroopers! I'm really excited to hear they are hiring too! I really hope they are looking to bring on some folks with business development and marketing backgrounds instead of just more coders and/or 3d modellers/artists though. A permanent and more active community manager and someone focused on marketing of the sim in general would be awesome! 1
Ribbon Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Magic words that open my wallet are B25, B26, Ju88a17, B17 and PTO? ? 5

It just had problems at higher speeds, in dive, ....just like half of WW1 planes. Shedding wing fabric, poor roll rate, sometimes balky throttle, not easy to deal with torque. Better than the Pfalz and Alb which were both long in the tooth by Spring of 1918, but not really a great matchup for the D.VII. The SPAD could outfly the D.VII in at least some ways. The N28 wasn't a terrible plane but it wasn't a world beater either, at least not in mid 1918.
