Plane List.

[ZOSO]

Hi all Im new here,just thought Id ask is the BF109 FW190 Spitfire Huricane Ju87 Blenhein P51B and YAK1 the only flyable planes,or the only the ones realesed so far.Just think its a pretty modest colection.Not a P40 in sight.:(

[guiltyspark]

we are not really sure , but the development team needs to come out with somthing official pretty soon or its going to hurt them in the long run

from the list of people's favourite planes 90%+ are covered by this meagre list...(spit,stang,109 and fw)...

with respect I doubt anyone's getting "hurt in the long run"...

whatever the final tally hopefully this game will be about quality not quantity.

just my 2cents

just my 2centsif we can only fly these select planes i wont buy the game , simple as that

[trk29]

Anton said there was more flyable planes than what Tom Clancy's HAWX had.

[Raw Kryptonite]

What we know so far are 12 flyable fighters/bombers total in SP, MP will have 40-50 planes..."more than HAWX" as trk said.
SP is based on specific campaigns of the war, so I'd imagine those 12 represent what was used in those battles. For MP we're cut loose. ;)

[The Few]

I have a feeling we have not seen the final list of flyable planes by a long shot. Especially since the namesake of the game has yet to be confirmed as flyable. Of course, it is easier to be a continual buzz kill. ;)

[ZOSO]

Well the orignal had 30 planes and after all the addons it was up to ninty flyables and that still managed too be top quality so i dont think thats a issue there should be in my opinion 40 althoughter and 20 flyable at least

[Marchochias]

A lot of previews, like this one from Gamespy, talk about "40-50 period aircraft", but they don't usually specify how many are flyable.

The game isn't being made for you specifically, though you certainly seem to act as if it is. Nothing wrong with asking questions with courtesy, you know.

[Raw Kryptonite]

Anton said 12 in SP and "more than Hawx" flyable in MP. Hawx has about 50 flyable planes.

[OntheCrab]

hahah

This is the same guy who almost had a stroke waiting for the launch of the game's SITE.

Now the actual game, with the graphics, engine, physics and features - the whole killer package, the reason a lot of people (and probably you) check this forum every day; but only 8 planes flyable out of the box is now NOT worth buying?

You are a mystery, dude. That is rich.

p.s: we all know there's more flyable planes than just those.

[Hineni]

Based on what I have read about the game on this forum and in the previews, there will be about 40 flyable planes in the game.

Of the 40 flyable planes, 12 Allied planes will be featured in the Single player historical campaign mode.

All 40 planes will be flyable in the Single player "Instant Action" (Training) mode as well as the Multiplayer mode.

Im not spending 60 dollars on a demo

[mondo]

The original IL2 came with very few flyable aircraft, it was after all a study sim of a single ground attack plane. Its 2009 now and has over 200 flyable aircraft. You might not get that many in BoP but what you have to understand is less planes = higher overall quality of the planes that are in. Check out Falcon 4, Lomac and DCS:BS. Not many flyables but very high quality.

Programming a complex flight model and damage model based on flight data is quite a complex task. Comparing it to hawx which you can almost certainly say does not have either a complex flight model or a flight model based on real world data isn't very valid.

[dandymountfarto]

if i recall correctly, the first il-2 didnt even support playable flight modelling for multi-engine a/c, hence you could only fly single engined ones. they added that in the forgotten battles release.

i think its common knowledge now that there is going to be more than 8 flyable planes, but there has to be a balance or all the fantastic work that has gone into producing this title will be wasted if the core mechanics of the flight modelling is pants. go buy blazing angels if you're not fussed by that.

Hello,
Anton has countersigned the declaration of Hineni! There will be 40 playable aircrafts in the game! Look to the word "also"!

Anton can you speak about what training mode is like? Is it going to be flying through rings or balloons?

[guiltyspark]

thanks anton , now all we need is the demo

[The Few]

Absolutely.


Which plane's will be available in the demo?

[BigDaddyAB]

No flying tiger mentioned .... makes me feel a bit uneasy :confused:

Hope the Americans show up in DLC

I presume you mean the P-40 Warhawk?

Maybe the Flying Tigers will make an appearance in the sequel?:grin:

[HauptmannMolders]

If there's battles over the USSR I'd think there is a good chance of both P39's and P40's being present.

That´s great news Anton. Good work!!.

I have a question to make. Will we be able to takeoff and landing in multiplayer and single modes?.

Will we be able to fly them all in free flight to get a feel for them before going into battle?

For MP? Planes for Campaign are pre-defined, you can't change them.
Training is for get trained to MP, of course.

Yeah I was talking about free flight just flying around all 40?. So there is training and there is free flight?

[Anton Yudintsev]

Training is customizable by player mission. You can customize it, to just free around.
On all available planes, yes

[trk29]

Awesome thanks again.

Question. Is the psp version going to be identical to the console version? And are videos and screenshots going to be on the website along with console pics and vids?

[xNikex]

The PSP and DS versions are 2D, arcade style.

Very good news on the free flight by the way.

[Skii]

Very good news on the free flight by the way.

Thirded. One of my favorite whims in IL2 was just to take an aircraft for a spin, just take off (taxiing from the parking area would be fantastic if thats possible) take her up to her max altitude, do some aerobatics, buzz some towns and take in some scenery, and land. Its what virtual flying is all about - I can't wait to load it onto my Xbox :)

[jt_medina]

Takeoff and landing allowed?.

[trk29]

Anton can you describe what is customizable in training mission? Besides just choosing plane.

[Anton Yudintsev]

Weather conditions.
Altitude conditions (where to start).
Target(s) and type of target(s).
Resource limitations.
Location.

Anton that what you are telling us sounds really interesting.

Could you implement this mode for multiplayer?. I mean having the possibility of choosing all these conditions to make a quick coop would boost the playability.

Another quick question. When you create the training mission apart from choosing the type of targets, can you chose where those targets are gonna be on the map or they are placed automatically?.

[Raw Kryptonite]

Are the customizable training missions single player only or can you invite a friend or two to run it with you in other planes against what you set up?

I'm hoping we'll find out that you can do something like that. My understanding so far is that it's single player or multiplayer with human vs. human only. Is that correct? No cooperative missions against AI?

[Flyboy69]

What bombers will there be to fly. Also will there be a P-47D Razorback in
the game.

The P-38 Lightning will be there?

[David603]

No. Anton has confirmed the P38 will not be in the game when it launches, though it is possible that the P38 could come as DLC.

[Camo-234]

Hey Anton will there be any heavy or medium bombers we can use and can we switch from flying the plane to using the guns like tail gun, turrets, etc.

[P-51]

Check well you can deff fly the He-111 but not shore on anything else! I swere i saw video of being a dorsal gunner somewhere...

Yah me too. I think in one of the trailers It shows someone using a dorsal turret on a Blenheim.

[David603]

Yeah, I've seen that too. I can't find it on the Il2 website though.

[irrelevant]

Hey Anton will there be any heavy or medium bombers we can use and can we switch from flying the plane to using the guns like tail gun, turrets, etc.

Anton mentioned the option to command a rear gun on some planes would be available in the game about a month ago. Can't find the thread because it is buried, but he did say something to that effect.

[Spitfire23]

This the one? look at 2:17

At 2.34 there is what looks like a player controlled A20 Havoc twin engined bomber.

Yeah. Thats the one.
