Could the Bismark arrive one day?

Hihi ?

 

This was my last guess to materialize. The others were the Fortress, and the P-51 (the Typhoon was obvious).

Can't imagine what could be next.

Great to see the Swordfish is to make it into the series, awesome. :cool:

 

One thing I always liked about this particular iteration of the IL-2 saga was some of the unusual types it added from the start and now the Swordfish and the MS-406 continue adding both the major fighter types I guess everyone craves for but also a few others that help provide a little something extra, with carriers as well we start to build a very broad kind of scenario for mission/campaign builders which adds even further interest in the types of aircraft and situations pilots can try out. :drinks:

 

Take care and be safe.

 

Wishing you all the very best, Pete. :biggrin:

I spent a lot of time on this "Stringbag" painting -its obviously one of my favorite aircraft. Back in the day the 3rd party modders did a good job bringing it into a flyable aircraft in the original _L-2, even with Royal Navy carriers to fly off from. If this one does get into game play ,I'm sure it will be pretty wonderful!

I haven't seen that before. That's wonderful painting James.

I tried to buy one of your books a while ago .. but it was 'sold out' at Amazon. Shame.
