But, it have always one who rest, the Canadian squadrons who have not the right designation.
By example, the 438 is a fighter-bomber squadron, but designed like a simple fighter squadron.

If you want, you can take the mod i made with redko about the canadian squadron.

All is in attachment (this is my final and corrected version, never published). That inclued also the crests. This is my tribute to the courageous Canadian pilots who fought for us.

Sorry about my english, i am a little rusted...

I had to refer to web sources for accurate naming of the squadrons. If some are wrong please list them here and I'll try to fix them. Using other files than those already in 4.10 is not an option.

Thank you TD for your work, i think IL-2 will be better and better with you guys

[Romanator21]

That means what? The IL2 is relieved from from fusing, everything else stays the same?

No, ampoules are relieved from fusing. Everything else stays the same...for now.

I still don't get - Is there a IL2 name for these mysterious "ampoules".


But then again I dont really care anymore.

Ampoules=VAP-250

If you want it like that. The 438 to 440 are Fighter-Bomber, but they are designed like fighter in your patch.

And for add the crest, i imagine is in the 4.11 i need to talk?

Actually the (FB) designation in the dropdown list is meant for squadrons who flew types like Mosquito or Beaufighter on strike missions. Units operating in the fighter-bomber role with single-engined fighters are kept under the (F) label.

And squadron emblems are pointless IMO since they're also shown on the aircraft (if they're present) which is not correct. Unfortunately removing them completely is not going to work, either.

Strange logic.
The 438 fight on Typhoon, who was the fighter-bomber by excellence and a really bad fighter...

So, if i refer to your logic, the russian unit who oppered on the il-2, single engine, was fighter?
The American who oppered on SBD-5 and Helldiver was fighter?
The german who oppered on Stuka was fighter?
The japanese who oppered on B5N2 and D3A was fighter?

Yep, strange logic...

About the crest, so, i can forgot that if i have understand?
If it's true that isn't all squadron who put the crest on their plane, some made it, like the 438 or the 421.
But, please, look this: http://www.forceaerienne.forces.gc.c...pitfirea27.jpg

But for the demand of add the rest of the Canadian squadron who was forgotten, it's correct? Or maybe because they was bomber squadron?
You know, some oppered on liberator and B-25 Mitchell.

And the Liberator make a good fake for the Halifax also.

No, it's a system I devised for 4.10. I wanted to give players without the in-depth historical knowledge (in this case I'm one of them) at least a bit of hint what types these units flew in WW2. I wanted to use the term "Strike" but that proved to be too long for the drop-down list.

It's not meant to demonstrate what kind of operations these units flew since that goes far beyond the scope of such a system. I could easily remove all (F), (FB), (TB), (B) and (T) from the list but then a not-so-informed player doesn't know what this or that unit did in WW2. Most thoughtless of the RAF and its sister air forces not to include some kind of hint as to what a squadron did. Couldn't they have taken a hint and done it like the Luftwaffe or the VVS?

EDIT: I left out the night-bomber units on purpose since there are no aircraft for them in the game so far. I had to draw a line WRT workload somewhere. Sorry.

I used MAT Manager to sort out the squadron badges I didn't want - in the old days, however it's been a long time neglected and doesn't work for all.

Could you not make the RAF regiment TGAs plain transparent? I like the badges in the briefing but would sacrifice them to not have them present on the a/c.

Personally, even with my knowledge of the more famous RAF squads I find this feature really helpful Thor; thanks!

A little note for correction - my 601 squadron in game still has the 602 lettering - 'LO' - and badge bug from old. The codes should be 'UF'.
