absolutely a must have - this is what I have most wished for.
B5N/B6N Flyable / Me-210/410 Flyable

The landing light for the Ki-43-II & III does not work - this is an old bug.

Please fix this in the upcomming update v4.12.

Hey keep cool mate
The Ki-43 series need some polishing treatment, I'm sure it got listed by DT.
BTW thx for the fix point.

However some other major aircrafts really need to be upgraded and corrected.
Let's wait and see.

Cheers,

Macwan.

The Iar80/81 are modeledpretty bad in game, but some users that sent Oleg half assed info are part of the blame.
You bring in half truths as well. The Iar81/iar81c did carry bombs. It's enough to google iar81 images and you'll see plenty photos of 81's loaded with a pair of 50kg bombs on the wings and a centrl 250kg bomb. Actually most 81's did come from the factory with the racks installed. On many planes, that were used as pure fighters, the racks were removed. The white 344 in your post is a clear example. The plane was based on popesti leordeni and did fighter duties against the US bomers. No point to carry the bomb rack since it just slowed them down in fighter duties.
I think you need to do a bit more research and then ask for changes. There's a newer book out, that explains all the versions of iar80/81 very well. You should get it,so you understand it a bit better and don't ask for things that would hurt more than fix, like other people before.

And no. The six 7.9mm guns IAR80 was not the most produced version. That was the IAR-81C.
There is quite a bit of confusion around about the IAR80/81 versions. Many were very close in mames and equipment, so the confusion is explainable. For example, IAR 80C and 81c were different versions the 80c came without bomb rack and used 4x7.9+2x20mm (mgFF) and the 81C version came from the factory with bomb racks, 2x7.9+2x20mm(MG151/20).

I think there is no point to carry the bomb rack around if you will use this plane as a heavy fighter. The 81C is best known for fighting heavy bombers over Romania, not dive bombing.

So I suggest removing the bomb rack 'temporarily' and when you attach a bomb to it, the bomb rack can stay.
Team D did a good job with the I-16 summer and winter type.
When you select summer you get the plane on wheels - when you select Winter you get it with Skis -

So, I say do some remodeling on this plane, but the default should be with no rack. [period]

PS:

Show me one single photo of IAR-81C, engaging B24s over Ploiesti while carrying a bomb rack around ...and I'll buy you a bottle of best romanian red wine ~

[Anton88]

Most IAR's I see (in both photos and diagrams) don't carry any rack unless they have a bomb attached to them

From books I have written by veterans, and from many sources on the net I see the IAR could carry big and small bombs simultaneously - one under the fuselage and two under the wing- we dont have that in game.

[Anton88]

Appreciate it MacWan -
I'm a great fan of your skins - I have your full set of Ki43II and others

-just as long as team D knows about it, that's all I care

[Jaws2002]

Actually when the IAR was introduced, both the 81a and 81c could carry both all three bombs.
That was until some w@nker that pretended he knows it all, sent some whrong info to oleg and ever since that patch, the Iar81 was reduced to either one 250kg in the center, or a pair of 50kg bombs on the wings. But not all three boms as seen in most pics of loaded iar81's. In the same patch, the Iar also got the wrong allied constant speed prop.
Your idea to limit the iar81 loadout to a single mission type, like the Ploiesti defense would negate the rest of the jobs it did on the front line. The iar81 was used both against Russians and Germans. On the front line the plane was used as fighter bomber in many ocasions. It wasn't the dedicated dive bomber, what some planes were suposed to be, because the Romanians got Stuka from Germany, but a fighter/fighter bomber.
When you don't load bombs I don't think the drag created by the rack is taken into account. I may be wrong tho. I didnMt play the old il2 for a while.

[Anton88]

Don't want to limit this plane as Fighter but the 3D model we have now looks awefull - especially with that 'so called bomb rack' hanging down like that, and that poorly designed radiator in front.
I think we both agree this plane needs a touch-up.

When I make skins for Il2, I try to take a screenshot of the plane from an angle that does not show what's underneath the plane...:S !?* That's how bad it is!


Maybe I should have sent Oleg the info on the IAR - or you, the expert of Romanian aircraft!
There is room for improvement here -so if you can get one of the Daidalos team guys to have a look - that's all I ask

What about the fire extinguisher, - the so called 'extinctor automat' - can this be simulated in game? Does it flash red if there is a fire on board? That would be something if we can get it to work.

[Macwan]

Sure, it's good to remind it.
Actually, the Ki-43-II is much more complicated than it looks.
I think, if someone has a plan to upgraded it, this would certainly require 3D improvements as well. At least to make the engine cowl more accurate and maybe publish additional versions.

Let's wish DT have some time to edit the current Hayabusa.
There are other in-game aircrafts in the same situation than the Hayabusa (or even worst), like the P-40E series (mesh + loadout), P-47 (loadout), C-47 (mesh at least)... and maybe some Luftwaffe specialists would add requests about Bf109 / Fw-190 series ; I dunno exactly.
Its a matter of hope and patience for us now.

Cheers,

Macwan.
