Yeah, it makes me wonder why the Anson and Walrus were included from the outset.

The Anson was a trainer for bomber pilots as well as a general hack, the Walrus similar for seaplanes (as well as being an air sea rescue plane later on in the war), which brings us to the Wellington and the Sunderland (yes I know we have the Blenheim).

Seems to me that many of the original intentions for the game have gone by the wayside over the years since the planeset was devised, particularly as there will be no more 'ground objects', presumably including ships and subs, for the Wellies and particularly Sunderlands to attack.

Or maybe my imagination is running away a bit. ;)

Have to agree..

Though at least were being updated now

It seems, you never played a good online war like IOW/VOW.....
All would have been impossible without a well functioning coop mode
What we have now is, let me think about it.... nothing...
Only a big online gangbang

Because these were support aircraft and for the most part combat flight simmers want to drop bombs and shoot stuff, IMO a waste of resources to include them.

Yeah I agree, unless the original intention was for the game to include a pilot career involving qualifying on the Walrus before you move on to the Sunderland, and the same for the Anson.

That's what I meant by intentions going by the wayside.;)

Tiger Moth-Anson-Blenheim-Wellington

Tiger Moth-Walrus-Sunderland

Tiger Moth-Defiant-Spitfire (no Miles Magister or Harvard!) :)

Old news, I'm afraid. Things change in business ...

11. Do you plan on adding bail animations and/or first person bailouts with the ability to look around when in a parachute?

Quote:
We are doing a lot of animation improvements, including reverse kinematics, for the sequel. First-person bail out camera has been in the game for some time.

Anyone know what 'reverse kinematics' means??!

. Is there any news about the Su-26?

Quote:
You’ll get to fly it.

only took 9 months to get that information. i guess we were asking the wrong questions.

It's kinematics, only in reverse. :)

Online wars way better than those are possible right now (if the RAM issue and other small problems are solved). The whole process of generate the mission, fly it, and report the log is just a thing from the past that is not only not necessary, it also limits the possibilities.

But of course we need people who make those new online wars. IL-2's online wars doesn't appeared spontaneously, right?
