[Padre*]

A giant Easter egg from the developers? ?

1st you have to had an  actual rocket that should be capable like the futuristic programe called the  ‘ SLS’ in this case like in 1969 the Saturn V capable for the missions Apollo to the moon of   (6,540,000 kg  or about  13,000,000 lb  ) more or less , but relatively  , according Wikipedia really should be  about 3,000,000 kg or 6,000,000 lb of total mass .

but how to go there if there if the rocket right now,  while , does not exist nowadays ? but , technically  , could be possible ? .

Here we can compare the Saturn V of 1969 with the SLS future rocket and other actual rockets developments and futuristic programs: 

Many yeas Was told that EEUU will go this summer to Mars and will return after vacations .

Is it really a rocket though? 

 

Might just be, that the VVS is finally getting some decent size bombs. 

[RAY-EU]

I think the biggest challenge radiation  ‘bomb’ in this case is the Van Allen Belts ? .

That's the Soviet RDS-220, the Tsar Bomba. ?

Soviet easter egg?

[Asgar]

April 12th, "Day of the Cosmonauts" День космонавтики  on this day in 1961 was the first space flight by Juri Gagarin

The good things is, according to wikipedia it's not a work free day, so we should get a Dev Diary anyways ?

[[APAF]VR_Spartan85]

How cool is that.

[JG7_X-Man]

Same here! I am quite furious about this because I find the inscription "CCCP" on a poorly modeled rocket very offensive for several reasons.

#1 SInce I fly German, I would like to have the V2 in my hanger.

#2 All joking aside, this is suppose to be a simulator, but if the developers are not taking this serious - can we classify is a simple child's game now?

If you have a simple child's mentality then yes,  you can.

I must have the simple mentality of a child. I find it quite amusing.

Does everyone have to be serious all the time?

[Retnek]

Child's game? You're absolutely wrong! This rocket was a kind of matryoshka doll with a RS-132 rocket in it - finally. Well placed propaganda manoeuvre by Father Stalin himself (unconfirmed)! Any Russian immediately understood the symbol behind it. One fine day the already powerful RS-132 will be grown up. So the working class will fire such enormously huge rockets against it's enemies!

[Blitzen]

Or a new weapon for the Il-2?

[GSP_Hund]

It is odd seeing that thing right in front of the aircraft.

April 12, 1961:  Yuri Gagarin becomes the first man in outer  space and first to complete an orbit around the Earth.

looks more Flash Gordon than Yuri Gagarin...

[Asgar]

Really? A 3rd thread on this...

[JUSTPLANECRAZY]

Yes that thing does look out of place messing up my hangar, but then i looked at it again and thought if i could only get it hitched under my spitfire wing i could get my revenge on that ruddy train that shot me down.?

[JonRedcorn]

I can't understand how this funny little easter egg is ruining anyones enjoyment of the game. Are people really spending time staring at the main menu?

[DragonDaddy]

I like it. I think the developers are checking to see if we are paying attention. 

[616Sqn_Tyggz]

 

[[DBS]El_Marta]

Ever heard of Yuri Gagarin?

[StaB/Tomio_VR***]

This rocket was put on April 12th to remind Gagarin flight on April 12th of 1961, isn't it obvious ?

Sorry guys i didnt realise having a sense of humour had been outlawed.

[Beazil]

This is the first thread on this I've seen, not the third, but I found myself wondering about it nonetheless.  I thought it was pretty cool to see that in VR.  Nice little surprise.

Not yet but be careful...there are top men working on it...

[69th_Mobile_BBQ]

The Yuri Gagarin flight is one of the most significant achievements in Human history.  It's also an achievement that was accomplished by a Russian team.  It is also an achievement that was reached in the field of Aerospace science.  IL-2 is a game made by Russians, and is about Aerospace - in relation to airplanes during the Second World War.  The Devs apparently wanted to commemorate Mr. Gagarin's flight.   To be honest, if I were on the dev. team, I'd be a good bit disappointed with the majority of responses on the forum to this.

[332ndSandman_359]

It was just a question. Not trying to upset anyone here. And no i honestly never heard of the man until this week. Pretty amazing stuff! Needless to say. Thanks for the answers.

[sevenless]

It is the V2 rocket we´ll get in BoBP.

[Herne]

but when do we get to see the cockpit shots

[Herne]

I like these Easter eggs,  can I request an xwing in my hangar for Starwars Day on May 4th
