4-12 wish list (Merged)

[JtD]

Could you please try and use the dedicated 4.12 wishlist topic and to use less bold letter? Or maybe post there and add a link. One topic is easier to search for suggestions and wishes than a whole forum, well formatted posts easier to process than yellow press style headlines.

1. A lot of people on the dogfighting servers would greatly appreciate if on most of the maps some patches of the terrain will be levelled making these patches good for placing there airstrips. No need to change the bitmaps. Just level out the mesh, and remove the auto-generated trees. Lvov, Chekhoslovakia, Bessarabia, Ardennes, Kiev, Crimea, and Kurlandia are the prime targets for such mod. I can highlight the appropriate places on request.

The sample map, with airstrips placed on some suitable places is attached.


2. It seems that the most powerful ordnance set against the soft targets carried by Il-2 family planes is 4*ROFS-132+4*FAB-100, carried by on the Il-2 late 42. Later versions are much less effective, like Il-2 Type 3 with 4*FAB-50+4*ROFS-132, with Il-10 seemingly being the worst one with his 4*RS-82+ 4*FAB-50. Is it possible to supply late Il-2s and il-10 with a more decent set of ordnance, e.g 2-6*fab50 + 4* rs-132/rofs-132/m13? By the way, Il-10 could carry OFAB-100, which were much more efficient than FAB-100, and a pair of FAB-250.

3. It is known that some A-20Gs in USSR were fitted with a navigator seat (between the pilot and a turret) and a Soviet bombsight. Is there any possibility for a such field mod? actually, only having a bombsight view for a navigator would be sufficient.

4. Is it possible to rename german AB-1000 and AB-500 as RRAB-1000 and RRAB-500 and make them available for Soviet bombers of the 1939-1942 period? Changing the skin for these bombs to one resembling the true RRABs would be beneficial too. RRABS were uses quite a lot during that time.

5. USSR was using incendiary bombs - e.g. ZAB-100-40p, made from paper. It would be nice to have some of these.

6. A set of vertical textures of a different forest types would be extrremely handy to solve the problems of "invisible trees" near the airfields-targets-etc.

Flyabe TBF or any other NG-related material is a no-go. There is nothing we can do about it.

But TBF is more than 70 yers old, and Il-2 alredy have nonflyable model of TBF! It's sooooooooo stupid...

_1SMV_Gitano, Hmm... What about TBY?

6. Make a special setting to turn on and off the searchlights at the desired time. Searchlights add a lot to the atmosphere, whilst the engine usually turns them on too late.
