Game version 4.605 discussion: AQM, Breguet 14.B2 and various improvements

[ilmavoimat]

Great update, the Breguet looks superb! Any snippets on the C-47?, its been six months since pre-order I can't stand the suspense!!

[Swing]

yep...?...can't wait to try the Breguet...this plane is legendary for French pilots...

 

 

[No.23_Triggers]

14. The wing frame resistance to enemy fire of Halberstadt CL.II D.IIIa/D.IIIau and DH-4 was corrected (reduced);

...One of the most pathetically weak planes in FC just got made.....weaker? 

Edit: is this a typo?

New AQM is a blast. I see hours of enjoyment ahead. Thanks team!

20. A-20 and B-25 bombers: if the country is set to US the mission, the commander (and the assistant on B-25) now has a unique, historically more correct model. This new model includes combat-worn body armor and helmet; 

 

B-25 soon flyable?

 

S!

JLean 

This caught my eye as well ,and I’m delighted but I’d like to ask in US/ British missions do we get US and or British voices as well??

[Motherbrain]

The new mission generator is a fantastic feature. It alone makes Il2 Great Battles the best combat sim ever. The replayability factor is excellent and now almost effortless.

I found a workaround, but it takes a little editing.

Thank you for this interesting bit of information !!!

 

OTOH if any editing / full ME usage is needed we might as well use SYN_VANDER's terrific quick mission builder utility that offers even more options and gets you the MP/Co-op missions as a simple option.

 

In DCS I use a similar utility (Briefing Room for DCS) like the one developped by SYN_VANDER and use the DCS ME to make some additional modifications. So for DCS I use a similar method as suggested by you. But IMHO SYN_VANDER's program is perfect for how I use IL-2 GB.

 

[SCG_Faerber]

Thanks for the patch and incessant work you put out in this product! 

In another note, can this be further clarified?

The Halberstadt is even weaker now? why?

 j) Anti-shipping attack;

Interesting, why is there no such mission type in the career mode, at least in Battle of Kuban, where it could be done for both sides?

Also, about half a year before the old campaign system was replaced by the career mode, you released a mission type 'Attack assaulting enemy ground troops', in which you had to attack an assaulting enemy tank company. This was the best ground attack mission type of the game. It is a shame, it didn't make it into the career mode.

Please implement this mission type into career mode, maybe also a mission type to support friendly ground troops attacking enemy positions. This kind of stuff was done a lot by dive bombers and ground attack aircrafts.

Btw. why not AQMB for FC1 Arras map  ?

Btw. not new clouds yet? But I see preset option (option of the choice) is present.

Because we're not wasting time on a map that won't be the final FC map.

 

The clouds are not ready yet.

Same with Yak-9 and Yak-9T. I guess they will be intergrated at a later time.

 

No, the Yak-9 and Yak-9T are only available in the Kuban Summer map (not Spring or Autumn), the Bf 109 G-6 is not present at all (AQMG).

Yes!  Those damn'd 190's keep shooting me in the head.  That needs to stop.

Why were the halb’s wings made even weaker? They were already completely inaccurate. Or was that a typo in patch notes?

Ah, I checked on the autumn map. Doesn´t make sense not to have them there if they are on the summer map.

[Monksilver]

Just want to say thanks to the team for AQMB, absolutely fantastic addition and loving it.

[kendo]

Just tried out the AQMG and really enjoyed it. A very welcome addition to the game.

 

Also, a big thanks for the much improved aircraft ground crash explosions. The old ones were a real bugbear of mine. These are much better.

 

Can't wait for the new clouds!

[2/JG26_rudidlo]

Thank you for the update, just loading times are longer and longer after each update.

[willeverton]

WOW. AQMB is superb. FPS stay really high too which is an added bonus! Only made it back to base once so far, so many 190s milling around!! My wife is gonna be pissed at me keeping wanting to try this! Great work again, much appreciated ? 

[Dagwoodyt]

Great work on the AQMG!

Thanks

There is more context what was done, but due to a lazy translation it is not so clear. I will try to clarify when I have a chance.

I'm very sorry guys and gals, one point in the list was translated from Russian by me not clear enough while another had an opposite meaning. Here are the correct ones:

 

12. An issue was fixed that caused the Airco DH.IV wing frame not to receive damage from bullet hits;

 

14. The wing frame resistance to enemy fire of Halberstadt CL.II D.IIIa/D.IIIau and DH-4 was corrected (increased);

People want more things, higher resolution objects and textures, but also faster. Can't have it all I guess.

 

Are you on SSD or HDD? SSDs make a huge difference in load times.

I’m not complaining but I have il2 on ssd and it is rather slow to load. But so is DCS and MSFS, also on SSD.

Oh please--renaming  the editor ? supposed the next one will be Exstream Advanced Mission Editor Plus.

26. Changed the probability of randomly selected allied and enemy squadrons in the Career mode which should increase the variability of different types of aircraft in a mission.

 

Very good!

 

This is huge, it was a long time coming.

 

Who will be the first one to shoot down a lightning in BoBP?

Whoop de do mit der AQMG inclusion. I foresee a lot of use by me (even though I haven’t updated or used it yet.?

Try to select Ground Attack aircrafts: Fw-190A6/A8, Bf-110G2 etc.

I'm a little sad that the fighters are limited so strictly to air-to-air missions. I had been daydreaming about shooting up ground targets in mustangs like in all that late-war guncam footage. Still love the AQMB and I am deeply grateful to the team for adding it.

I hope you may consider allowing the fighters to do these ground attack mission types in the future. I'm not sure how complicated that process would be, but I would really truly appreciate it.

It was not I, but I suppose because it was too sarcastic. But anyway - do not forget, that this technology will be implemented for airplanes upcoming for Normandy and others who will have wipers.

It's not sarcastic, however, merely tongue in cheek absurdity (It's an English thing).  I truly appreciate every improvement of this sim that you deliver, and it was just a light attempt at humour, which given the reactions accumulated, was appreciated before its deletion.

There are two different features here - one is the QMB and the other is the AQMG. One is a Builder and one is a Generator. Each a bit different than the other, so not just a re-naming. The snark is not needed.

[JG7_X-Man]

Advanced Quick Mission Generator - I like that a lot!!!!

I see there are way more USAAF and RAF bases on the Rhineland maps than Luftwaffe.

 

@Jason_WilliamsYour target audience for this enhancement enjoys historic accuracy. Not looking for all Luftwaffe bases in the career should be available.

If you are going to do it - nothing wrong with a few at a time. Thanks for implementing the idea! 

[Fercyful]

Please bring mission generator for Tank Crew someday thanks ?

Whatever it was you guys did, CL.II seemed noticeably sturdier while shooting at it earlier, so it seems to have worked at first glance. Really good to see!

Hmm, for the first time I'm getting failed to update errors, that's disappointing. It's the update folder I need to delete to potentially correct this?
