Update 4.707

Dear Pilots and Tankers!

The IL-2 Sturmovik team is nearing the finish line of our Battle of Normandy development cycle. However, after some deliberation, we decided not to make you wait any longer than necessary for the next update and to prepare an interim release for you containing what is already ready. So, today we bring you the final aircraft in the BON hangar – the Me 410 A-1 ‘Hornisse’ and our new Custom Input Profile feature!

[Sandmarken]

Ah great! I was hoping for the map, but il have my fun with the 410 in the two weeks it takes to finish it ??

[LuftManu]

Yes!!!

[BigMotor]

?   Call off work, to the man cave.

[BlitzPig_EL]

Thanks Han and Team.

Interesting to see the misfires in the changelog, I actually noticed this happening last update! 

 

Excited to mess around with the control schemes, can finally get proper brakes on the lever equipped planes, and make the 262 (and 234's) startup go much smoother!

[VilsonFarias]

I've waitet so long for custom profiles, thanks a lot ?

[Hitcher]

Great update, but shouldn't one 100mm plate be more effective than two 50mm plates? assuming they aren't spaced?

[SCG_Tzigy]

Holy Cow!!! Awesome.

[percydanvers]

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

EDIT: I'm stuck at work. Can someone please try that 50mm cannon out on some tanks and let me know what it can do?

 It has HE rounds, so it is not for tanks but bombers.

You never know. Sometimes HE starts fires. I killed a tank with the 30mm on the 109 one time

THE END IS NIGH ?

an HE shell is enough with the current DM of the game to kill a tank, especially since in plane, with the angle, you will hit the less armored part (roof...) of the tank... m^ me in tank against tank, we can kill each other at the HE...

Don't worry, I'll check this up. We here were in a bit of a rush with Me-410 release, but I saw reports on this.

[ShampooX]

For the same effort it takes to hit the keys to reload the tank yourself, couldn't you just reassign the radio operator to load the gun?

[Indigene]

Thank you very much for the hard work! IL-2 is one of the best!?

[Jaws2002]

This Plane is amazing. Such a different creature. I did a few sorties and I love it. Huge selection of potent weapons. two engines to chose from, the 50mm makes B25's go poof. The gunner station is a work of art. The rear guns have huge firing arcs and three sights to chose from. Amazing cockpit with many cool sights and toys.

 Really well done guys!!!

 

Thank you!

Just in time for the last week of my vacation!

[Ringlett]

Thanks, nice additions!!!
The 410 strikes me as a very dangerous heavy fighter, not so much as a bomber.  ?

 

And we'll get some western fast bombers too?
Or a BIG bomber...
Or even a Western-built, usable bomber?

Mosquito B.XVI, Liberator, B-17, Lancaster or at least A-20G/K...

We already have fighters...
And just to hate, the blues can get a Ju 188 or at least an 88T

"12. An explosion of an APHE projectile inside a detailed tank would correctly damage nearby equipment or crew members (previously it could result in no damage in some cases);"

is that why the sherman was sometimes unkillable?

it looks less like a sponge now...

Most likely so.

[=621=Samikatz]

Testflying the Me-410 now, very lovingly rendered and tons of options! Heavy bird, though, definitely seems less eager to maneuver than a 110. Couple of questions:

 

a) What's that persistent buzzing in the left ear that happens in combat sometimes? I have my contact altimeter set to 0 meters, so I don't think it's that

b) How do I remove the cover on the bottom half of the gunsight, if that's possible?

It's the contact altimeter, it's supposed to buzz when you're 250 metres over target altitude.
There's different gunsights, depending on modification, which one?

[354thFG_Panda_]

Thank you Developers for the update. The 410 is great!

[Motherbrain]

I was enjoying an afternoon at the beach. But after reading this news...

 

Screw the beach, I need to update Il2. ?

This thing! The default view seems to centre on the lower half, which looks to have a cover on it I can't remove? I tried gunsight position and bomb sight keys

 

[Phenazepam]

LShift + V will help you)

That's not a cover, it's a telescopic sight you can use by pressing LShift+V.

11. The issue where an AP shell could be stopped by one 100mm plate but couldn't be stopped by 50mm+50mm double plates was fixed. Spaced armor plates with total thickness similar to one thick plate now stop AP rounds better than one plate;

Unquote 

 

What about the issue about AP shells passing through planes, like they were made of warm butter? 

As it is now AP shells pass through, metal, fueltanks, humans, equipment and amoured plates without loosing velocity, or direction. 

 

Being a former gunner on a 12,5mm MG, I know how little it takes for projectiles to change course, and that is after just passing through a stationary 5mm panserplate, on a 400 range.

So we finally get to hear the DB603. Cant wait, stuck at work til 6pm.

The Custom input profiles are a excellent addition thanks chaps.

16. Ar 234 cockpit reflections became more pronounced;

 

Oh my! I hope it isn't too much more pronounced! I mean, if it is realistic I can't complain... but if it isn't as good for sight-seeing as it used to be... well, I'm sure people will get annoyed with me waxing poetic about the virtues of the Ju-188 and Fw-189 for sight-seeing, and how it would be good to add them, for the next few years...!

For the record - I've never been able to replicate this - either as a Sherman crew or fighting a Sherman... in my experience they usually go up with one to three rounds of 50mm at >800 metres.

 

I'm mystified but a bit curious why people report such a different experience of this.

The ineffectiveness of the 57mm AP round (and 25lb RP-3) against ships is also worth filing a report on. Right now it doesn't make sense to use other weapons. Considering that ships are constant draft in Il-2 - I've often wondered if adding a waterline hitbox would fix this (i.e. with a bit of armour to replicate hull thickness, but a bit more of a damage amplification if something does get through).

Cool news.  Can't wait to check it out.

[Missionbug]

Downloaded and installed without any drama, all seems okay, thank you very much to all involved.

 

Take care and be safe.

 

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
