Hi,
it seems that some time ago at Sukhoi.ru forum there was a discussion about what is wanted by the gamers.
There was a good number of seemingly-reasonable and apparently-easy-to-implement suggestions, like changing motors or armament to produce the transitional plane types.
E.g.
Bf109G-4 - 3D model of G2+ motor overheating+weight 3000 - 3100 kg
FW190D-11 - D9 with 2x13 mm MG replaced by 30 mm MK
Yak-1PF/1942 (3D and DM of Yak-1/1941 + 105PF motor)
...
Did anyone by chance look through these suggestions?
----------------------------------------
My own principal wishes will include:
a) changing the Il-10 armament, at least supplying it with 4*FAB-50+4*ROFS-132 or M-13 (it is historical, AFAIK), since present Il-10 is a very seriously handicapped attack plane;
b) introducing the new (or mutating old) field airstrips into something as in the sketch attached - green is part which is exposed on a level surface, blue is a "security area" normally "submerged", red plaques are the airplane "birth" sites.
Such airstrips will totally eliminate the headache of looking for the level spaces to place three runways side-by-side as it is done now - if you want to have a decent airfield. It will breathe a new life in almost all maps.
If it could be partially damaged (to prevent take-off), say by 10 tons of bombs - it would be absolutely fantastic.
