Yeah that is true Soviet Ace, great climb rate though and in the right hands (not necessarily my hands) it has some potential. :cool:

I really love it for the lines and being a rather unique plane compared to most other fighters in the war more than anything else.

Two engines can also provide a little insurance if you sustain some damage he he.

Not to nit-pick, but the standard armament was actually better than posted above.
4x.50 cal and a 20mm cannon in most models. The added .50 cals and higher rate of fire and better trajectory of the 20mm over the 37mm would be significant.
The P-39 had the gun arrangement you mentioned, and the convergence and trajectory mismatches, and low ROF of the 37 mm really proved to be a design fault in action, at least in the air to air role. The 37mm could be a terror against light armored vehicles however. The Russians made great use!

Tor sir you are correct, the XP-38 model or the first model in the early 40's was 2x.50 and 2x.30 + cannon but from 42-43 I think most were armed with 4x.50's + the cannon.

I'm not quite up to speed on all the specs but just get it in the game so I can enjoy it's beauty like I did on IL-2 for the PC :grin:

Well mosquito ofcourse and lancaster.
Maybe some of the german nightfighters:
Heinkel He 219 "Uhu" (love the looks on this one)
Junkers Ju-88G

Apparently, you can get the Ta-152;

^^What title update? The upcoming one?

whats the title update?

It's the first update after the release of the game.

dam that never came up for that update

It will never happen, but I would LOVE to see a plane frim the HE100 series by Heinkel.

Here is the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_100

+1 on that

but they should add it as the "he-113" . the head of German propaganda used he-100s to create a fictional night-fighter squadron of "he-113"s. he mannaged to fool the allies into thinking it was a real plane.
