Spitfire mk ia >>not!!!<< mk iib

[FOZ_1983]

I dont know mate, i still think some elements are a little odd. I mean realistically how hard is it while making the game, making all the aircraft etc to make a spitfire WITHOUT the cannons? Its not hard at all.

BUT

saying that, i dont mind. I dont use the spit, this is old news from months ago and the games great and any issues the patch will resolve. So these threads can go gather dust again lol.

if its to balance out MP why is there a tab to select the year timeline

The reason there is no Spitfire Mk I is because it was never modeled in the PC version. The Spitfire was added to cover the lend-lease aircraft, and for the North Africa campaigns. Battle of Britain was/is planned to be covered in the new engine sequel to Il-2, so they never covered it in the current engine.

The Hurricane Mk IIb and IIc was another lend-lease. The Hurricane Mk I was used by the Fins in the Winter War. The Bf-109E-4 got in because it was actually an important German fighter in the early stages of the airwar on the Eastern Front: by 1942, it was obsolescent by that time in the West, but it was capable against the I-16's that made up the core of the VVS at that time.

In fact, a lot of the older aircraft that are in there, are there because the Fins were using cast-offs and weird odds and ends during the Winter War.

but IL2 strives for authenticity....

when they have the models on the drawing board, how hard is it REALLY to select the spit Mk2 and just "chop off" the cannons and replace it with MG's. lets not bullshit each other here, its not to hard at all.

a great game and the best flying game on the console bar none, its suoerb. But theirs no denying that they got lazy in some areas.

You're kidding!I paid 70 dollars to feel special.Seriously though the option to use MG wouldn't hurt, even if it was added I'd take the cannons anyday.I like the kick.

Because it's not "just" chopping off the cannon, and the team that handles flight models is currently (we hope) up to their eyeballs in the next gen engine.

for the knowledge they have and the money they make - yes it is!!

They had to get the aircraft models anyway, so why not do a few tweaks here and their? many of us have been in party chat on the 360 and had in depth conversations about this and it just doesnt make sense in some areas.

As for the team that handles flight models, i dont want them to e upto their eyeballs in the next gen engine..... i want them to be up to their eyeballs fixing them damn crap flight models they put in this game

and the engine of the hurricane...... why is it different to the spitfire and P51?? they both have the same engine in game (merlin) and sound amazing, the hurricane should have it to!! That so hard to address to? No.

rant over.

Like ive said i love this game and i know a patch is coming out, im patient so dont mind waiting. If your on the 360 you should join us for some online games mate, its a good atmosphere and a great bunch who pride themselves on playing properly and fair
