I was being sarcastic. Any pre-1939 light bomber design was an easy target if it didn't have decent fighter escort, or if it faced heavy concentrations of flak. The Midway Vindicators got lucky, the French V-156s not so much. Had VMSB-241 run into an entire Air Wing of Zeroes, like VT-8 did with their TBDs, the Vindicator would have been notorious rather than obscure.

But, since I love obscure, crappy early war planes, I'd be happy if the Vindicator/V-156 was added to the game. Most folks would probably prefer to see the F4U-4 or FG-1, though.

Ki-10 is a requirement for Sino-Japanese war scenarios, otherwise not so much.

+1 for the PBY, although I'm not sure if IL2 allows amphibious ops.

Of course, that too. But I think of the Russo-Japanese conflicts of the late 30s as being "spillover" from the Japanese attempts to conquer China.

I've been studying the Sino-Japanese air war from 1932-39 and its a huge, untapped area for flight sims. The war zone was even bigger than the Eastern front, and although mechanized and aerial ops were far less intense, total casualties were higher.

I fear it would be almost impossible for Il2 to model, though, due to the very large, densely populated maps needed to do the area justice . Also, you'd need dozens of new ground objects and vehicles, an almost entirely new plane set, and perhaps a better method of modeling boggy or muddy ground.

Both models we have in archive in current stage at lod0. (25% done)
Unfortunately we don't have free hands for finish this planes.
Btw Ki-15 external model is close to finish ..

If somebody know IL2 modeling in 3dsmax/ Photoshop can continue in DT 3rd party on this models.
