DT, please tell me a cockpit for the Hs123 is under development. That would such a fun plane to bound around in.

all items of true beauty - especially the "Airone" !
what an elegant fowl !!

Did anyone notice the difference between the aircraft icons in the 4.10 and the 4.11 video scenes?

Welcome news, both the planes and the AI update.

I just hope that work on the "AI not seeing through clouds/dark" mod is on track and that AI gunners will be more affected by velocity (wind buffeting) and g-forces than they currently are.

A nice tweak to AI, which might be really easy to implement, would be to give rookie AI planes greater distance between planes in formation, and more "ragged" formations. By contrast, ace and veteran AI would have slightly tighter formations.

"Tightness" of formations might have more to do with the time period. Early on for instance, the allies preferred tight formations, but the effort in maintaining this led to decreased situational awareness. Later, planes in an element would be 500 meters apart or more.

Japanese planes are good, until you get an enemy behind you... They should have put some more armor on those planes.
And I hate the tube sight on the Ki-43. That just doesn't work well in a dogfight :confused:

And thanks for the update Team Daidalos! :grin:
