Romanian PZL.23 "Carasi"

(PZL.23 Karaś)

Since we're getting an IAR-80/81 collector plane for Stalingrad, could it be possible if we could get another Romanian collector for Stalingrad? The PZL.23 has seen combat at Stalingrad under Romanian service even though they didn't have many of them. The Polish bomb load is decent but don't know what bomb load the Romanians used and what armaments. IMO I really like the plane and would love to fly it in IL-2.

The fixed gear looks really similar to the Stuka's and could really confuse someone when spotting it at a far distance. Luckly it's an axis plane so it doesn't matter ?

 

Besides the IAR, if another Romanian plane is decided to be added, the devs should add Romanian radio chat.

during the invasion of Poland a significant handful of them were shot down/damaged by Polish AA and fighters because they mistaken them as stukas lmao

I guess with German air supremacy they weren't expecting to see Allied aircraft so they didn't bother to try identifying them. Seeing them flying towards you from the naked eye, I would also think they were stukas.

You might be spot on there. During Bodenplatte, a lot of aircraft were fired on by friendly flak as well since the Germans weren't used to seeing Luftwaffe fighters anymore.
