only 12 planes?!?!?

[JG53Frankyboy]

IL2 in release had not a single flyable bomber beside the IL2 variants...
And were there realy so much flyables..perhaps if you realy count evety variant of one type.

[Avimimus]

Yes, Il-2 had:
- The Il-2 variants
- The Bf-109F
- FW-190A4 (only guns)
- LaGG-3
- Mig-3
- P-39

I'm not sure about the Yak, La-5FN or Bf-109G (one might have been available from the start)

Anything else?

I think it is a good number of planes, especially considering how detailed every plane is.
Though I would prefer that the Ju 88 and He 111 were unflyable, while they made a flyable Defiant and Whirlwind. But I guess that the bomber pilots need to be satisfied too, and those planes were more common.

i hope that there are plans to make alot more flyable planes in the future? is there going to be any American or Russian planes available on release?(i realize America didn't official enter the war until 1941, but there was still American planes and Americans flying in china and other places.)

I think your first post is rather weak. This is the first sim in a series of sims with the new IL-2 engine. The amount of aircraft in the series will probably exceed the huge amount already in the original series. If you knew the sim has been in development for years you should understand the process alittle better. The initial release only includes aircraft in the Battle of Britain. Before you describe a development as weak in your first post you should do your homework.

Not for the first release, no.

BUT the next release better make the rest of the list (AI aircraft) playable!

Personally I'm incredibly anticipating when this new sim has been more developed and some of the expansions have been released. I can already imagine how glorious P-51's and P-38's will be once they're all mastered by Oleg and crew. However, the Battle of Britain is my favourite theatre of war and this sim is going to be amazing.

[Xilon_x]

the simulation game CoD regard Battle of brittain story.
and that 'the true list of aircraft used during that period?
I'm Italian and I noticed that the missing CANT1007bis and Caproni C133.
You should see how many planes are missing on the English side and also on Germany side.

I can already imagine you fumble with the huge list of complicated controls in the p-38.
On full real the new CoD engine will only allow you to use two controls at the time.

That should be fun to watch..... specially from the cockpit of the fully automated FW190 on your high six.

Not at all

You don't know what you're talking about here... granted I don't post here much at all but I flew IL-2 Sturmovik from the begining... much better to have high level of simulation with fewer aircraft then too many with so-so level of simulation... and by the way this is for BoB... these are the aircraft that flew in that period and region.

When next sequence comes out you will get more aircraft.
