The DB-3 is the Il-4.

indeed ! LOL

Things appear to be significantly behind TD's first time plans.
Did a lot of issues crop up in testing?

+1

(Bigger bomb-load than Pe-2, Il-2 or SB-2 - even in overload, more survivable and more produced - really opening up a new element of gameplay for RU)

DB3f = IL4 ...
all DB3, not F modification ... are differnt plane
almost 2000 kg of bombs ... but more often 1500 or smething like this...
10 - FAB 100 ( in fuselage ) and one 500 FAB or two 250 FAB otside fuselage ...
(sorry for my bad English )

they added significantly more to 4.10 than originally anticipated or planned for. as the code is incestuous and old... i guess it threw up more bugs the more stuff was added.

really thanks, perhaps, with your data, someone think about the real needed of medium bomber on Russian faction).But dont worry, no one cares becouse no one flys russian in a competition. We only fly german planes? (they have 2 great medium bombers) british and Us have few of them , EVEN ITALIANS GOT A great LEVEL BOMBER. Hate to fly an A20 or a B25 on russian planesets when in a competition.

PD: this is only a sugestion to DT for the next patch. not an attack (seriuosly) sorry if I wrote a little bit rude my english is really bad.

salut!!!!

hope the new patch came fast to us, we need it!!!!!

Remember that some/many of these efforts rely on the talents of third party developers. The Ju-88 was a third party development for example that Oleg included later when it was complete. There is currently a Pe-8 project for instance that may show up in a TD release... the work is done initially by a third party developer.

There are other groups out there that have been working on these things for years... It takes time work with bombers particularly due to all of the positions. This has always been an issue.

by the way... IL4 can take more than 2000 kg...
i read in books that one time on IL4 take 2500 kg... 10 fab 100 and 3 fab 500...

Il4 was a medium class bomber... and he is a basic bomber for Army and for ADD ( Soviet Strategic aircraft ) also IL4 can take torpedo... Basic Soviet torpedo bomber
