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.

@LukeFFcan we get a clarification on the meaning of "winged engines"? Reads like a mistranslation.

I'm going to take a guess. Engines mounted on wings.

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.

All the airfields are getting converted into rallycross circuits.

Sorry, but there's a better candidate to wait for

Sounds like the WW1 rigid airship fans are going to be happy.

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.

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!

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?

Winged engines? Maybe it refers to German jet planes of very late war. Such as the Wunderwaffen ... Me163, etc

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!

Forget those useless western planes, the evil capitalists will stare unbelieving at a true triumph of the labour of the proletariat..

You know they built a fighter (or perhaps more accurately, a Zerstörer) version of that?

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?

A four-engine plane that looks like a two-engine plane, that must be the solution to the puzzle?

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.

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.
