In order to complete the wish list...could be nice for that time frame add also MC 200.. 2

I once tried to figure out what the gaps were - which aircraft pilots would have encountered historically but which we have to use our imaginations for... corrections welcome:
JG5_Schuck Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 I think the Hs 123, would definitely compliment the U2/Po2 for Eastern front, and something i miss from Il2 46, the DB3//Il4... And i know it wont happen, but id love to see Mk1 Spits, Hurricanes, E3's (early stuff) 1

I notice the NKPB-7 is not yet present in any of the WIP screenshots, nor in Dev Blog #341. The U2-VS still doesn't have a working bombsight four and a half years after release -- I don't need another incomplete night bomber. Reveal hidden contents It will have a functional bombsight, yes. 2
LuftManu Posted July 11, 2023 Posted July 11, 2023 Been searching info about the Li-2 and it was quite the interesting workhorse! Some night bombing missions will be really fun! I guess the gunner has a lot of visibiliy behind. Do we know what roles can we take in career and in what battles will it appear? ?

I will certainly add the Li-2 as AI aircraft to my "Night Fighters over the Kuban" campaign. Together with the DB-3/Il-4 the Li-2 was the bomber type most frequently encountered by Luftwaffe night fighters over the Strait of Kerch area. It would be nice if some Li-2 night bomber units could be added to Kuban career mode. However, I am not sure where the units where based. It's possible that their bases were located outside the map area. Then we are looking forward to a campaign from you ?
1CGS BlackSix Posted July 11, 2023 1CGS Posted July 11, 2023 There will be only one transport unit for BoM career and a lot of transport and bomber units for BoS and BoK careers. Transport regiments will be based close to front line but the bomber regiments - near the map borders. 3 1

Looking forward to it's release ? bombing missions with the ME 410 at dawn / dusk are awesome! I hope we can see something for the LI-2 at those hours too

I am more a fighter or fighter-bomber guy. When it comes to Soviet night bombing missions there is also the problem that we don't have SAB illumination/flare bombs in the game.

Bombs target. "Oh look there is one survivor!" Straffes target. "oh no, you missed him! Look he is running to hide in that cave!" Paradrops an infantry platoon. "well ok we got'em now but our guys are going to get hungry out there" Paradrops supplies. So, basically a forerunner of the Hind... ? Edited July 12, 2023 by Freycinet 2
