Patch 4.10 - Development Updates by Daidalos Team

[csThor]

Actually, regarding the Hs 129 B-2, a good number of currently available loadouts should be deleted because they aren't historical (that doesn't work, though, due to bad experiences with the IAR 80/81 way back). The BK 3,7 is among them as is the loadout with the 4x 7,92mm MG17 and the SC 250 as no evidence for their use on the front has come to the light so far (and people far more knowledgable on the subject than us looked). In the case of the Bk 3,7 it's interesting to note that tests were aborted very early as the cannon (or rather the gondola installation) had a very ugly effect on plane performance so the Hs 129 kept using Mk 101 and Mk 103 (from early 1943 on) autocannons for tank busting.

Thank you Team Daidalos! The additions are very much appreciated! I was never expecting to be able to have any fun with the Hs-129 but now I'm really excited and looking forward to that possibility.

Out of curiosity... which loadouts should be historical and what is going to be included in the patch?

What about the B3, is that not going to be flyable then ?

Thank you DT, Horrido!

Will you add more detail to the engines? When you looks from the front, the engines are flat and had only a texture, there are some birds with 3D engine detail, not much but this small update is very welcomed.

The B-3 is a different topic. Especially designed to carry the BK 7.5 it has its place in history. We thought about renaming the B-3/Wa into B-3, as its generally the plane we have in game, but this maybe would destroy existing missions/campaigns. However, the BK7.5 version will be flyable too with an own cockpit.

Hi Team Daidalos,

Thank you for the excellent work, respect !

What about Italy_Online map, I think it's the worst map ever, totally wrong from A to Z. Better to suppress it, it's a slap in the face of reality, all the cities are mixed up, distances and relative positions are all messed up.

Bye,

It should be called Italy Dogfight... then some more people would be happy. The Ardennes map is nearly as messed up... barely has any relation to real world geography but it was really handy to have some sort of "west" front map to work with outside of Normandy. Taking something out would cause compatibility problems... not to mention there are at least one or two excellent campaigns that make use of this map and it's visuals.
