British pipsqueak?

[SvAF/F16_Dark_P]

Hi guys a squad mate asked me the other day about radio navigation in the spit and i told him we have none, but then i come to think about the pipsqueak....

 

I have been searching but cant find anything about it so i just ask here, if there are any plans to make it funktion in il2? at least the funktion to get a vector to home base, like you have in most other planes in the game.

 

regards and Cheers!

Pip-squeak first (Battle of Britain) and then replaced by IFF by the look of it.  Links below:

Production of the IFF Mark III began at Ferranti and was quickly taken up in the US by Hazeltine.^[15] It remained the Allies' primary IFF system for the rest of the war; the 176 MHz common frequency was used for many years after.^[14]

Happy landings,

Ok... i Know what it is, a pip squeak is not the same as "friend from foe", look at my link.... it is for navigation

What i am going for here is if there are any plans to make it function?, from what i understand the remote contactor/pip squeak coud be used to get a vector to home base, it would be nice if we had it, that is all.

I don't think Pipsqueak was still in use for relevant IL-2 GB time periods. No IL-2 GB aircraft is fitted with the equipment.

If it’s not in CloD Blitz already it will probably be added to that game.

 

Not sure why you think this is funny, Luke.
