1CGS LukeFF Posted August 22 1CGS Posted August 22 Hey everyone! Today, we are sharing updates on the development of the Siege and Liberation module, new maps, aircraft, and upcoming features. https://il2sturmovik.com/news/889/dev-blog-371/ 24 3 4
MDzmitry Posted August 22 Posted August 22 Just to clear this point up: "This fall we'll have the news about new winged engines, and there will be more engines than usual." There are 2 interpretations I came up with: 1) There will be some twin-engined aircraft, perhaps bombers. This is in comparison with how the majority of aircraft added lately are single-engined. 2) There will be a 4-engined bomber. Highly unlikely, but this idea is better be said in this (unlikely) context rather than by someone who can only imagine seeing B-17s roam the skies. Too much hype creates impossible expectations. 1 3
migmadmarine Posted August 22 Posted August 22 @LukeFFcan we get a clarification on the meaning of "winged engines"? Reads like a mistranslation.

De jure one could say every engine made airborne via usage of wings can be called a "winged engine". So we've already got tens of winged DBs, Merlins, 105s and radials.
=MERCS=JenkemJunkie Posted August 22 Posted August 22 All the airfields are getting converted into rallycross circuits. 1

BlitzPig_EL Posted August 22 Posted August 22 Sounds like the WW1 rigid airship fans are going to be happy. 2 1
86Cheese Posted August 22 Posted August 22 I'm honestly really pleasantly surprised with the continued support of GB, I think a lot of people thought we were saying goodbye when Korea was announced, but comitting to the early and late war eastern front, and zeps for FC, I think you guys are really doing a great job of giving Great battles the send off a lot of the community wanted but didn't think we'd get. I am very excited to hear what you guys have planned. No one has mentioned a TB 3? A b 17 would be really cool, but we are getting those in at least 2 other upcoming sims. I'd honestly rather have a Mitchel or even B/A 26s. Its possible we could be getting other Soviet or German Med-heavy bombers as those would go along really well with Leningrad. 1 1
sevenless Posted August 22 Posted August 22 (edited) Increase of Leningrad map? Nice! This fall we'll have the news about new winged engines, and there will be more engines than usual. There will also be news for those who are especially interested in the Great War - unexpected and pleasant additions to the map and the aircraft, huge aircraft! Love to hear that! Nice!

Kapteeni Posted August 22 Posted August 22 We made huge Finland/Leningrad map for IL 1946 with Agracier. And Also other maps. Someone might remember It was a huge task..It was fun tho.. it is still available . But maps for IL2 Great Battles are complitely differenet thing..i was wondering that maybe AI can help...anyways. waiting patiently. Thank you for Hard work. 3
LuftManu Posted August 22 Posted August 22 That's the sexiest Il-2 IMO! Great work, team! Also what's with the engines at the end? 👀 Seems like we have more things coming?
=gRiJ=Roman- Posted August 22 Posted August 22 Winged engines? Maybe it refers to German jet planes of very late war. Such as the Wunderwaffen ... Me163, etc 1

JG4_Moltke1871 Posted August 22 Posted August 22 Thanks a lot for the information. The main information is: Wait for more informations…🤪 In fact nothing new today but anyway, thanks for this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤣🤣🤣 1
JG27*PapaFly Posted August 22 Posted August 22 (edited) Winged engines.... I'd say Pratt &. Whitney (i.e. flyable B-26) or Wright (i.e. flyable B-25). A flyable solid nose B-25 would kick ass! Edited August 22 by JG27*PapaFly 1
III./SG77-A_von_Bellorum Posted August 22 Posted August 22 Forget those useless western planes, the evil capitalists will stare unbelieving at a true triumph of the labour of the proletariat.. 1 9

You know they built a fighter (or perhaps more accurately, a Zerstörer) version of that? 1
Alexmarine Posted August 22 Posted August 22 (edited) Regarding the careers available on launch for Odessa/Leningrad, which two out of the four will be available on launch and which will come in 2026? Edited August 22 by Alexmarine 1

JG4_Moltke1871 Posted August 22 Posted August 22 A four-engine plane that looks like a two-engine plane, that must be the solution to the puzzle? 4 1 1
S10JlAbraxis Posted August 22 Posted August 22 (edited) Looking good! Leningrad was my favorite map in the previous IL2. Really looking foward to this. Would be nice to add some aircraft from Finland like the Buffalo. I really enjoyed flying that one. Edited August 22 by S10JlAbraxis 1
III./SG77-A_von_Bellorum Posted August 22 Posted August 22 (edited) I hope with the Finnish flying the Hurricane, we can fly them with the axis on single player campaigns and multiplayer servers. But probably not. Edited August 22 by III./SG77-A_von_Bellorum 2
