Jason_Williams Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Quote Attention Pilots! It is our pleasure to announce some new Collector Planes for the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles series! We are still waist deep in Battle of Normandy and Flying Circus Vol. II development, but we have decided to push on with our partner Ugra Media and bring you a few more iconic and important aircraft! The following planes have long been discussed as possible projects or desired by community members and now we are able to make the commitment to build them. So, without further delay here they are. - C-47A Skytrain - Lisouov Li-2 (Soviet version of the DC-3/C-47) - Sopwith Snipe 7.F1 - Siemens-Schuckert D.IV FULL ANNOUNCEMENT HERE. Jason 31 10 1 8
=621=Samikatz Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Ooooh, didn't expect the Soviet transport (slash bomber!) too. Will definitely pick all these up as they're available 4
BMA_FlyingShark Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Great news. I'll pre-order early next month. Have a nice day.
[F.Circus]MoerasGrizzly Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) I'm hugely excited for the Li.2 but does it have to be a seperate 20 euro purchase? Do C-47 buyers at least get a discount? Also YAY for super-late-war WW1 fighters that were not in ROF! Yay! for more transport planes! Yay for everything basically. Yay. Yaaayyyyy. Yay I say.

Ala13_UnopaUno_VR Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 It reminds me of the sale of the Yak9 and Yak9-t. Now C47 and Li-2. We could do a numbers game, and change the Li-2 for il-4 xd It's good news at least we will have something to launch with the allies ^^ 2
Obelix Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) C47 flyable!! Oh My God, I love you!!! It's done, I just bought it, thank you, thank you and thank you Vive les USA!! Edited May 26, 2021 by Obelix
radio Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Please do not forgot the Stug III as tank Premium 1 1 1 6
RNAS10_Oliver Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Awesome news, knew about one of them from the coded teaser, but great to hear about the FC collectors aircraft. Shall purchase the C47 and Snipe as soon as I get home and/or they become purchasable. Also interesting to read from this announcement that seems FC3 is certain to be made at some point also.

6FG_Big_Al Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Wonderful news! I can't believe it ? Even with your teased message.... THANK YOU!!!!
RedKestrel Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Credit Card: "Please sir, no more flight sim purchases. I need rest." Me: "Once more into the breach, my friend, once more!" 19
[1Tac]DisCHQ Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Kinda sad the Li-2 will be a separate purchase but it is what it is. 1
IckyATLAS Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Well done Jason. That was a nice birthday gift. Thanks !?

BMA_FlyingShark Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Just now, DBFlyguy said: Makes sense for them to be separate purchases with the amount of work needed to make the Soviet version. Indeed, they look the same but there are significant differences between the 2 (engines, cockpit,...). Have a nice day.
Elem Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 What a team of absolute STARS you are! Amazing announcement.
Avimimus Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Well... It's no Roland D.VIb but I think I'll have to fall in love ...and to think we thought we'd never see another WWI aircraft!! ? The Lisunov-2 is also a bit of a miracle to have - and it'll give us a bomber slow enough for the Ju-88C6 to catch on the Eastern European scenarios... plus it'll potentially give a slightly larger bomb-load than the Pe-2 (although still likely less than the Il-4 would). Honestly, the only downside to all of this is that I'll be waiting eagerly to pre-order the ones which I can't yet. Why, oh why, do we have to wait until they enter production to pre-order?? ? 2 1
mpdugas Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Money spent of trinkets like these keeps development alive...I'm down for that: pre-ordered. 2
AndyJWest Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Tommy Sopwith's finest: From Kermit's comments, it seems to suffer from the same wheely-bin directional stability issues that we've discussed with the Dr.1, Camel, etc. Should be a fun flyer. 2

Gr3y Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Quote from the announcement regarding Siemens-Schuckert D.IV.: Quote This plane will be a challenge to make as references are tough to come by and we don’t believe any original examples survive today. However, we love a good challenge and plan to make this bird take flight just like all the rest. PTO confirmed!!! 1 12 3
itsbillyfrazier Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Pre-ordered. Good news, although I'm not as excited as some about the announcement, but hey, the devs gotta eat and Jason needs the dosh for the casino... We gotta play our part i suppose! ? Thanks Devs/Jason. Edited May 26, 2021 by itsbillyfrazier
40plus Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Oooo, lots of people are going to be happy with this announcement....not me, but lots! None of these are of interest to me personally.
