If you're interested and have some free time,

this episode of modern marvels

could be of interest.

Thanks, that was very interesting. I wasn't planning on watching it all in one go, but thats what I ended up doing. Any more good documentaries on bombers out there?

It just so happens that after watching the ball turret video, the following video was listed in the suggestions:

Discovery Channel Great Planes Boeing B 29 Superfortress

And in the suggestions for that one, I found this video, which appears to be very much on topic:

Great Planes: Consolidated B-24 Liberator - Documentary

I've watched the B29(though not the B24 yet) documentary and found it quite informative.
I'll let you decide whether they're good or not.

OK, thanks alot. I'll look at those when I have time.

By the way, whats this B-24D going to be armed with? .50 caliburs? And what kind of loadouts can we expect? The same as the AI B-24J?

Thanks again.

.50 Caliber M2 Brownings would be the guns carried on a B24.

While I have no clue what the bomb loads will be, if I know Monguse, they will be historically correct, and more than likely not what the AI 24J carries.

Be sure.

If you are nice guys, I would be happy to give you my little contribution !

OK, thanks for the info.

How about some kind of anti-submarine bomb/s as part of the loadout? It could open up opportunities for Coastal Command anti-sub missions in IL2. Oh, and a landing light. Just some suggestions.

Sorry to be asking this, but I assume the B-24D won't be ready before the 4.12 patch this year? Keep up the good work.
