I believe jettsioning external stores was detailed in an older DT video. Anyhow, the patch looks to be an amazing addition to the sim. Thank you to everyone involved .

Fire priority goes by level of threat.
In a modern tank that would be helicopter over battle tank, battle tank over APC and even RPG over APC if closer than 400yards.

If you have two tanks you'll have check their position, or more precisely, the position of the gun - if it points to you the decision is obvious.

However, WW2 main guns were not stabilized, therefore they were unable to fire while moving.
You could try to fire upon an incoming plane with the tower MG though.
I knew a German WW2 tank crew member, he never mentioned they gave it a try on airplane with the main gun - I mean hitting a moving target, in the air, in WW2? Thats not worth it.

Just read the readme, wow, thats way more features than I expected even if it is unofficial, thnkx to DT for taking the time to correct some of the longstanding issues in IL2. I'm interested to see the FM tweaks (esp. the p-51) and the engine reliability changes, gonna be spending a lot of time in front of the computer in the next 4 months I think.

No mention of FM or loadout fixes for late 109s.


The G damage however, at least if done well, I think will change the nature of online flying. No more bombers doing +-5G maneuvers carrying tons of bombs.

the readme talks about hesitation only... the tanks in IL2 fire at the planes since old times... now... they will only not hesitate

..hopefully they will miss more this way.

It all makes sense if you read the quote as:

"Moving tanks now do not stop to fire a large caliber gun at a fast-flying plane."

Previously, the tank AI could make them stop to take a shot at planes with their main guns. Now they won't.

See my previous post - it's a translation thing

But firing with MG would indeed be ok.

What needed a fix there?

Loadouts.
Typically, allowing a Bf109G10 to be fitted with a co-axial MG151/20, the Mk108 being an Umbausatz...
As to the FM, I'm no specialist on the one side, and would not like to reopen Pandora's box on the other side.

????
-> "Change the choices of weapons for all the Bf-109, He-111 H-6 and Ju 88 A-4"

that will include as examples bombs for the F-4 , MG151/20 as default for G-14 & G-10.
