DIO

Unfortunately Il-2 doesn't allow for proper simulation of individual Staffeln/Squadrons since the basic level is the Group/Regiment. And it doesn't know a Stab at all ... not in the correct way. Not to mention that markings and emblems changed often and sometimes drastically. That is just impossible to depict accurately.

One important note about the Hs 129 B-3's 75mm cannon: while the magazine was designed to hold 12 rounds, a 13th round was loaded directly into the breech by the armorers when the aircraft was being armed.

Very good work! When will released this patch? :-D tanks again for the hard work

I have the Pegg's book too and BK7.5 already holds 13 rounds. The new Mk103 has 80 rounds, even Pegg & many other sources claims that it had 30 like Mk101. Manual of Mk103 says that the box could hold 100 rounds but we put there only 80 since this was normally used to prevent jammings.

Great Update! :grin:

That video has got me really pumped up for the hs 129.

Looking forward to doing a little bit of tank busting with this one :)

Just a quick question.
What kind of ammo did you model with Mk101?
As far as I've read, the AP round could penetrate something like 15cm RHAE.

i am building already missions for an online war that sometimes will have flyable Hs129.
my question is now will the new 3D modell of the Hs129 just replace the actual one or will it be a totaly new planeslot - i think about the Mc202 example in the past.

it would be nice to know if i can finish the missions and upload them on the server (VOW "R") or if i have to wait till 4.10 release.
thanks a lot in advance !!

Any info about new release dates? :confused:

New models for same slots.

Hs-129B-2
Hs-129B-3Wa

Not sure. I suspect it might be a fair while yet. If it were close, DT members would have probably addressed some of the inquiries about it between page 55 and here. I guess the beta testing is still in progress and release is very much unknown for those involved until a list of revisions can be made of the results. Best to sit tight a bit longer. Rest assured though, no one is looking forward to the Hs129 more than me ;)
