There are also the basic issues with map size and the altitude cap - which make it hard to simulate late war bombing tactics.

I'd personally love an Il-4. I hadn't taken much notice of it until it was made flyable with a hack and then my opinion of it changed completely.
- It has adequate performance, good handling and the the dorsal and ventral gunners have very good fields of fire (making them among the most effective pre-1942 defensive positions).
- It was also mass produced and has a diverse bombload that is considerably larger than the Pe-2. This adds a lot of capability to the RKKA pilots (as the Pe-2 can't carry much more than an Il-2 in overload).

So, I hope that cockpit gets finished...
