What will be your plane of choice in BoM...

Not a big fan of the RAF cockpit layouts. I also think the P-40 is much better looking than the Spit ( how dare I ?!)

Were the instruments converted to the metric system or kept imperial for allied VVS planes?

Also during WW2, were there any english speaking nations using the metric system in their planes? Finding hard to intuitively interpret imperial values, but on the other hand, whilst flying German planes, I have no idea what's going on over the radio if I don't read the messages. Annoying...

Haha I just listen for key words like "Blenheim!" or "Hurricanes!!" and then I know to start looking around

yak-1 or mig-3 like Pokryshkin

RAF cockpits are totally random and don't make any sense. For example, the positioning of the engine temp. gauges on the Blenhiem, or just the fact that dials that should be right next to each other (such as oil temp, engine temp, boost and RPM) are all over the place depending on which aircraft you're in. There doesn't seem to be any kind of logic or standardisation as there are in other countries aircraft. That said, I still prefer red over blue

Back on topic though, I'm just waiting for the I16 and the I153 (as long as it has rockets!). They were, quite a lot of the time, my main choice in 1946 even. I'd love to have seen the look on the faces of some of the 190 pilots that got bounced (and often downed) from behind by me in my I16, so I'm eager to give it a go in CloD.

If the rockets are simulated a bit closer to reality as in 1946, nobody would care about them, neither friend nor foe.
And if the FM is closer to reality as in 1946, there wont be any bouncing with I16 or I153, except in very rare and lucky circumstances.

In IL2 : 1946, the Ilyushin IL-2 actually escorted the I16/I153 rocket attacks.

The P40, because its an entirely new plane with good armament and good speed. Also its one of those "cross conflict" aircraft that once modeled unlock new theatre possibilites.
I chose that over all others because russians hold zero interest for me.

Well, even if I can't they're still the aircraft I'm most looking forward to. Pre- and early war aircraft are such a joy to fly and manage, especially with the added realism of CloD over the original Il2. Then it all gets a bit boring in the middle until we get the Typhoon, Tempest and 190.

Also, with those two, the Fiat already modeled and (I assume) since the 109 is already modeled someone could mod it in to a 109C we could have quite a nice basic Spanish Civil War add on/mod. That's something I've always wanted at least.

I'll drink to that!!!
He51, Bf109C and D, I16 and I153 plus CR32 and CR42 flyable, and SB2 and Ju52 as bomber and on and on.....

Hello, Guys!

Did the lagg 3 see action in BOM?
