More seriously, is there any chance that DT continues to forge ahead with Ju-88 versions?

The torpedo bomber is a brilliant addition. The fighter-bomber (JU-88C) would be a fine continuation.

The Ju-88C was notably used over the Bay of Biscay, flying anti-shipping patrols, fighting British and American antisubmarine aircrafts, escorting Fw-200 or providing boats (and mainly U-boats) with air cover.

It was also used as a night fighter, and the Ju-88G as well.

The G-series is quite different (new fuselage, vertical stabilizer of the Ju-188...), but the C-series is based on the A-series, the main visible differences being the solid metal nose and the suppression of the ventral gondola.

Wellington and Defiant are presumably off-limits because they appear in ClOD.

Radar antennas/night fighter versions exist as mods for many aircraft (Mosquito, Bf-110, Ju-88, Ar-234) and look pretty good.

Exhaust flame suppressors presupposes exhaust flames. Again, there are some very nice effects mods that accurately simulate exhaust flames, at least for some of the single-engined fighters.

I know... I'm afraid CoD might kill any further development of aircrafts on Western front for IL2, especially early war's. Let's hope MTO doesn't know the same fate.

AFAIC, I'd love to fly CoD, but I'll wait a debugged and enriched "v.7" version (the like of 1946). Not to mention I'm not willing to buy a new laptop right now. USD 800 or so +50 is a bit too much a price just for a game, as great as it may be.

Yep. I gave them a try. There's OK. But...

I stopped using mods. I prefer to devote the little time I can to play, not to instal and fix. I waited the official fix for AI nav lights to enjoy it, although I had had a taste of it when trying mods.

So radar antennas as part of the next official update would be nice.

I'm not aware that anyone "official" has ever said that. However I'm also not aware that anyone is actually modelling these at the moment so the question is a bit academic.

I'd also like to see a Hampden bomber, but preferably flyable.

British bombers are hole which needs to be covered as all the other major forces German, Russian (in the latest patch and the PE-2) American the lack of a British medium bomber(a Heavy would be better)

Hello everyone,

I have one small request for a future DT patch regarding the Ju87D-3, Ju87D-5 and Ju87G-1. Later in the war, many of these aircraft were operated from rough fields with the wheel spats removed. Would it be possible to make wheel spats optional for mission dates of 1943 onwards? Perhaps this could be selected/randomized using skin checksums (like the gunsights in the D.XXI)?

Cheers,

Fafnir_6

Actually I'd like to see all those "random" options that are tied to certain skins, mostly only offline, made options in the setup screen and have them able to be used online.

I want my wheel spats on the I-15bis. They just look so cool.

yeah I like that as well I much prefer the Revi on D-XX1

I agree. None of the Fab 6 is a bit rough (medium bomber: Wellington, Hampden, Whitley; heavy bomber: Lancaster, Halifax, Stirling). 1 heavy would be nice (logicaly the Lanc); 1 medium (logically the Wimpy) and 1 heavy very nice.

I believe the Lancaster, Halifax and Wellington already exist as mods...
