Thank you - an unexpected gift! Crash from start of programme once again... ?

You guys are amazing. Pure and simple. Can't wait to try out the Typhoon.

Just in time for D-Day. Off course the Typhoon takes center stage...but what a list of other stuff. Love the mods on the tiffy.

Probably it won't be noticeable at usual firing distances, it's a thing for heavy guns like Todt battery and naval ones firing far away, they would be severely handicapped without accounting for more sparse air at the height of their firing arcs.

And in hi-altitude combat bullets and shells will loose speed not so fast as usual.

[Hitcher]

Is it just me or do the typhoons Hispano mk2s have the same ROF as the hispano mk5s?

[Redwo1f]

I get a stiffy for that Tiffy! ??

 

Nice job! And thank you for the new birds and fixes and tweaks. ?

[kestrel79]

I'm curious to what changed for audio. Any new plane engine noises? Or just for the new vehicles and aircraft? I didn't see anything specific listed in the notes. Well done can't wait to get home and fly!

[Voidhunger]

Thanks fot the Fokker!

[SYN_Vander]

What a great update! The two planes are very high on my list of favorites. ???

 

For anyone who wants to try out some scenarios: I have already updated my Easy Mission Generator:

Is it normal for the Typhoon's horizontal stabilizer to go up on one side and down on the other?

I was expecting the Typhoon closer to the end of June! Can't wait to download the update and take it up for a test drive. My poor P-47 might be gathering dust in the hangar for a while.
