Set the waipoints and the naval force move in the map as yuo want.

I would also like this. Very frustrating trying to get ships to hold formation in anything other than a straight line.

Would it be possible to incorporate the mod B 26 into 4.11 since some of us (like me) do not wish to run mods. Also, since there is so many requests for repaints of the cockpits, is it even a possibility to add the mod repaints of the cockpits. Also, I don't know if this has been mentioned but is it possible to use the ground AA 50 cal tracer in the aircraft tracer rather than the current red or is the red historically more correct than the white since I remember seeing gun camera footage of white 50 cals over Europe but red in the pacific.

Thanks for your dedication and time.

I think the mod cockpit repaints are way out of spec in regards to poly counts. This is why they do not get included in official TD patches.

.50 cal tracer is red/red-orange depending on the person looking at it.
This is true of ball, API, SLAP and I believe SLAP-T ammo.

I would like to see a Netherlands Fokker G.I in the 4.12 patch as flyable or unflyable because it would be a great for my new Empires and Allies camapign. Which this might be included in the 2nd version of my campaign.

We all have our favourites I guess. Since there are so many Spitfire and Bf109 variants I hope Team Daidalos will revisit the Hawker Hurricane. It carried yes, 500 lb bombs, rocket projectiles, external fuel and don't forget the 40mm Vickers guns. These were belt fed with 15 rounds. The Stuka and Sturmovik are modelled with similar weapons, so why not the good old RAF workhorse, the Hurricane. The addiition of the correctly shaped arrestor hook would also produce the Sea Hurricane which operated from HMS Argus and also I think ARK ROYAL in the Med. This coding is already in the game, and would only have to be 'linked' to the hurricane. Oh, and the Hurricane also carried assymetric stores, although not popular with pilots doing this. I have a photo in a book showing one in North Africa with a 40mm gun under the starboard wing and an external fuel tank under the port wing. Considering that it was also used in the Far East, I think this aircraft has been overlooked a bit in the game.

This is Jumpy again still raving about the Hurricane. I Have just performed a successful circuit (take off and landing) from an aircraft carrier with the Hawker Hurricane in Il-2. How do I record this and put it on You-tube?
Maybe it was a fluke, but I would like to do it again and post it. I had about one fuselage length between me and the bow when the plane stopped.
And this time I did'nt bend the propeller. Please Daidalos Team, give me an arrestor hook before I kill myself, ha-ha!

You need to record the track in game then capture the playback using FRAPS. Check out the movie forum at Ubi.

Hurricane additions sound like a very good idea. Useful in North Africa scenarios, Western Europe scenarios (in the case of the Hurribomber) and Burma scenarios where the Mark IV with rockets and bombs were used.

I have this question as well since you have said that: the AAA 50 Cal fires white rounds not the red rounds so why the difference?
