only 12 planes?!?!?

[Jaws2002]

First post = a whine. Way to go.

With the advanced engine modeling, I'm sure three months after release most people still won't be able to corectly fly the four basic fighters in CoD let alone all planes available, but some whine that 12 planes are not enough before the game is even out. .

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.)

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.

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.

The number of planes is in line with comparable sims, the variety is higher due to the flyable bombers and the detail level looks to be much higher. We can discuss the choice of various subtypes or the inclusion of the Su-26, but claiming that there isn't enough content is quite frankly nonsense.

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.

I just installed original IL-2 from 2001 or 2002 on my older computer just to check which planes were available back then. There were IL-2 one and two seater variants, LaGG-3, La-5FN, Yak-1, Yak-3, Yak-9, Bf-109F-2 G-2 and G-6 and FW-190 A-4, all with few variants here and there. I thought that was a good number of planes back then. Guess we all got spoiled by IL-2 1946 having almost all the important planes in ww2.

It's the Battle of Britain folks. I would've been happy with just the 4 fighters. The bombers are pure bonus for me. Let the thirld party developers fill in the gaps if there's a market for that.

5 years from now, 5 theatre installments later, we probably will have a planeset like il2 has today.

Yep and not one American or British plane in the list which is what made early IL2 so awesome.

A totally new theater without all those Mustangs and Spitfires which are done to death.

When Northrop Grumman threw a tantrum and effectively stopped the late war American PTO planes being added to IL2 I was almost tempted to send them a telegram congratulating them on services to the cause of good flight simming

in battle of brittain not exist american airplane is normal in this case the game is just direction and respect the just story but i am not sure i think p 51 mustang partecipate to battle of brittain....
