Seeing as the 219 did not enter service (3 examples only) until June 1943, and less than 300 were made, I'd say seeing this one in some future expansion is doubtful at best.

If it takes a year to finish a single seat fighter to the new standards, as Luthier has said, how long do you think it would take to make this aircraft, and model it's airborne interception radar?

Not saying the plane isn't cool, but for the effort there are far better uses of the developer's time and money.

I for one would LOVE the UHU in the series ( see my sig :cool: ).

I see El's point, but wasn't the new business model of this sim supposed to allow third party developers to develop aircraft like the FSX model, or has that changed?

I hope the developer’s spend ALL there time and money developing “Battle for Moscow” (or what every there going to call it). They better sell it as a new game and not an expansion to the currant disaster.

I’m looking foreword to BoM, I think it’s a whole new team with a new vision … no pressure but it could make or break the series.

I see El's point,

Are you talking about the point on top of his head? LOL

Why I oughttta!!!!!!!!!


:cool:

Tailspin, As we have discussed on our forum, BoM will be like every release was in Old IL2. You will be able to merge them all into one install. Hence the fixes of the later additions will apply to the older releases.

Night fighters would be to limited, I think bombers on both the German and Russian sides would be great if incorporated in some good on-line historical missions/campaigns.

They would have built many more if not for politics and mismanagement.

On the long road to a working version 1.0 I completely forgot that they said we would get an SDK for both planes and smaller maps... But wasn't that delayed as they did not have any documentation for it yet and they are working on that?

An SDK would really make the waiting for new patches and addons easier to bear with all the talented modders out there... And they will have the bar risen quite a few notches to be able to compare to the stuff done by MG themselves!

Night fighting large bomber formations would be very fun with a squad mate manning the radar in a coop, very cool plane thats for sure! Night versions of the Ju88 and 110 would be cool too.
