Hey Xylon, why don´t you go and take an nap, the world looks much more frindly most of the time then ...

Do you have some kind of persecution complex?!
No one has real interest in mobbing Italy does one?!

THE 3 FIRST IMPORTANT NATION NAZI-FASCIST IS GERMANY-ITALY-JAPAN.

In order of significance in the outcome of the war - GERMANY-JAPAN-ITALY - by any reasonable measure.

Given the relatively small contribution Italy made on the Eastern Front, and their non-participation in the Pacific war, a simulation that was first based on the Eastern Front, and was then expanded to cover the Pacific is unlikely to include a great deal of coverage of Italy's part in the air war. A far larger omission from the sim is the entire Western Front - with the exception of a few minor maps. The Mediterranean/North African front is also largely omitted. In both cases this seems to be at least in part due to 1C:Maddox not wanting IL-2 to compete too directly with SoW:BoB and later updates. The list of aircraft for SoW:BoB indicates that the Italian contribution is if anything overrepresented. I'd be grateful for that.

And just out of curiosity, how many Italians really want to be reminded of their Fascist past?

Xilon's posts are so much easier to read when he's on the Ignore list.

Hmmm..

could it be that Oleg was confused as to which side Italy was on?

Ok Ok I withdraw that remark !

[Insuber]

Thanks God, Xilon_X does not represent Italy ... he's from the planet Xilon, sent in exile in our planet by the local authorities, for obvious reasons.

Chill....

I enjoy the Italian material that IS available already in IL-2. It is challenging and fun. There is an Italian voice pack, BTW. Send me a PM if you want the link. @DT: maybe this could be included in a future patch?? We have one sexy bomber (SM.79) and 5 different fighters (CR.42, G.50, C.200, C.202, C.205), some with multiple subvariants in game. I'm sure squadrons for the RA would have been added to DGen if that product was still supported (hence my desire for DCG to replace DGEn in a later DT patch). No new planes or squadrons have been added to the dynamic campaigns since the C.200 became flyable like 3 years ago.

Fast forward to the future...

We will be getting the Re.2000 flyable, AI G.55 (2 subvariants) and an AI Re.2002 & CANT Z.1007 in 4.10 alone. This constitutes a significant portion of the new equipment coming in that patch. Daidalos Team has a number of Italian members and I'm sure that 4.10 will not contain the last Italian additions to stock IL-2.

In conclusion, Italians will not be underrepresented in IL-2 when you take future DT content into account (thanks guys!). Any ommissions are largely the result of circumstance over IL-2's long development. I'd say that currently, Italy has similar representation to the U.K. in IL-2.

Cheers,

I think it's beyond rational arguments with this guy unfortunately. There's so much new content coming and a significant portion is Italian based... but he's still flying off the wall. It's weird and a bit disturbing.
