Aircraft that would be nice to have in IL-2 BOP
 

Now here's the chance for the WW 2 aircraft buffs to make a wish list for what they'd like to see in DLC additions for IL-2 BOP in future.

The rule is that it has to consist of aircraft that were involved in the European airwar and was actually in service, not prototypes or variants that never made it into production.

My wish list is as follows:

Finnish Air Force.

Fokker D-21
Brewster B-239 Buffalo
Curtis P-36 Hawk
Fiat G-50
Gloster J-8A Gladiator (bi-plane)
Bristol Bulldog (bi-plane)
Moraine-Saulnier Ms-406
Bristol Blenhiem II

Soviet Airforce.

LaGG-1
LaGG-3
Mig-1
Mig-3
I-18
P-39
P-40
Pe-2
Pe-8
SB-2

RAF

Boulton-Paul Defiant
Hawker Typhoon
Hawker Tempest II
Hawker Tempest IV
Bristol Blenhiem IV with gun pack.
Bristol Beaufighter
De Haviland Mosquito

Luftwaffe.

Fw-189
Hs-123 (bi-plane)
Hs-129
Bf-210
Bf-210 with 50 mm. FlaK gun in the nose
Bf-410
Bf-410 with 50mm. FlaK gun in the nose.
Ju-88
Ju-188

USAAF

P-38 J Lightning
B-24 Liberator
B-25 Mitchell
B-26 Marauder

Italian

Macci MC-202 with 20mm, gun pods
Macci MC-204
Fiat G-50
Fiat CR-42 (bi-plane)

A lot of the above are already in other IL-2 titles, a few aren't but would make the game a bit more interesting.

As for future DLC maps, Normandy, Lenningrad and Moscow would make intreesting backdrops to fly over.

Any extra planes would be nice really...
but just for shuts n giggles:
Halifax
Wellington
You missed a biggie: The Lanc

as for maps/levels
London at night, blitz time!

(ok I have hardly done any of the game so maybe that's in there)

London at night during the Blitz.... that would mean the need for the HUrricane II C with cannons in nightfighter guise, an all black Defiant "Steel Bat" (as the Luftwaffe called it), Beaufighter and Blenhiem IV night fighters.

Musn't forget Ju-88 night fighters and Luftwaffe night fighter variants.

As for the Welligton, would other players complain that it is next to impossible to shoot down??

"Aw c'mon.... how can it still fly without most of one wing and no tail, eh??"

As many people that already complain about the B-17? You want the Lancaster?

The lancaster is far superior to the B-17. It has like a 40,000 pound payload I think.

Imagine that thing in strike.

Ive always said Avro Lancaster god she's a beauty

@mattmanB182: She could carry a payload of 22,000 lbs. but ofcourse they had to make modifications to her to fit it in. But yes she could carry the heaviest weapons in her time ;)

imagine is the key word for me, only been able to play strike once and everyone was fighter/bombers, dying to see b17!

maybe a bigger spread on targets in strike if that's an issue, I'd love to see a bombing raid of 3+ Lancaster turn some German factories into dust!

forget factorys think Dams!
flying at 60 feet then the towers align and away goes the bouncing bomb.

Oh hell yeah, did 1946 have dambusting?
Bought it the other day but my graphics card died so won't be able to play it

Er i dont know, i dont think so but im sure someone will confirm.

I just flew the warhawk in Targetware beta today, it's a great little plane, maneuvers well even on targetware's unforgiving model. The p-39 is good too. I don't like the p-38 at all.

The Beaufighter is useless except as an attack plane but it should be in the game too

ok for more heavy bombers to be added, but they should be either banned or very limited from strike mode. If a heavy bomber gets to start that close to the target, it's pretty much game over already
