Did that plane ever take a part in compat. Prototype was ready in august 1944 and had only 20 hours of air time at all.

Maybe involved in a few trial sorties.

Only 3 were built and only one survives.

The design was mainly flawed by the choice of powerplant. The 950 HP I-16 engine was a poor substitute for the 1,200 Wright Whirlwind in the B-239.

The Humu struggled to make 300 MPH, though most Soviet fighters were equally underpowered during that time as well.

It would be fun to fly though.

I was disapointed that the Fokker D-XXI wasn't included in IL-2 "Forgotten Battles", bearing in mind that it made up the bulk of the Finnish fighter forces, with the Finnish J8-A Gloster Gladiator clone in second place. The 42 Brewster B-239 Buffaloes were the third most numerous fighter and scored the majority of fighter kills from 1941 to 1944, proving to be superiour in dogfights than even the Yak's and La's.

Finland's last kill of the war was by a B-239 Buffalo when it downed a German Ju-87 Stuka in 1944 after Finland changed sides.

customizable noseart and unit colors on aircraft
i would lovetosee this game in the pacific theater

[zombiekilla666]

how about actually lookin down the sight of the guns on bombers

[haitch40]

il be happy if it includes the full pacific campaign and there one mission where your on an AA gun instead of a plane.

also a sink the carrier multiplayer mode would be good

[Roast]

1. Some more campaigns and maps like Poland 1944, Hungary 1944-45
2. I want a flyable P-39
3. If a Pacific/Asian campaign would be added, a China-Japan scenario would be nice

Hmm, can't think of anything else right now ..

I put this in another thread but i would like to get it on the stickied one

I want a full strike mode with transport planes that allow you to drop paratroopers on targets to capture. Once they hit the deck they secure the site and a ticket total is established. This total can be reduced by oposition by either bombing or dropping their own paras on the target. I would also like to see moving ground targets in online strike. Tanks, trains etc. Ideally these ground targets would be fighting each other and our aerial actions are there to influence the swing in the battle

+1 for the human bomber crews too. Even if it's just two players, one pilot and the other as gunner.

Also I want a race option!

yeah droping paras sounds a good idea and i like the sound off a human bomber crew like they did for tanks in brothers in arms
