And then we can have our Bf-109s fill the D-250 with holes!

Add proper friction to runway and field surfaces so that a static aircraft will not weathercock into the wind.

and it would be great if some new map will appear. especially something from western and central europe. france, britain, greece, poland, belorussia , etc. there are lots of maps in Ultrapack. there are new and old in autumn and spring variants. and there are really good mods providing new textures to maps. (i think everyone agrees that the difference between slovakian and old prohorovka's textures are great) our squad hopes that something new will happen with maps in 4.11. thxs! (sorry if a similar request was mentioned above in this topik by someone else)

I think we're out of luck as far as maps of Britain are concerned, CoD has seen to that!
But some new maps would be nice, South of France maybe, definitely Greek maps!

This would be a welcome mod for folks who like their unlimited ammo, but still want to be able to dogfight or crash land safely when needed.

For off-liners, this change to the game has been right up there on the request list for years, but it's been ignored like a short kid when it's time to pick basketball teams.

Now, there's a mod (a really small, relatively simple mod) which fixes this problem. Perhaps it will inspire DT to produce an official, better, version.

I think "jettison stores" will do the trick.

I might be replying to the wrong person, but, to Team Daidalos, thanks for keeping the game alive.
Like many others,I would like to see an allied 4-engine bomber but realise that it must be a huge undertaking to do properly, so enough of that. I would like to see more ships for the FMB. A wider variety of merchants, the German cruisers and battlecruisers , 8-inch gunned county class british, or the special anti-aircraft cruisers that the Americans developed during the period. Not all at once, of course , but perhaps some of the could be added over time. Also, I would like to be able to place objects such as stores or AA on docks/piers and on the concrete gun placements which are already included in the "objects" file in FMB. At the moment everything sits on the ground level or water surface. One last thing, can someone explain to me how to use the Test Runways in FMB? When I build an airfield, there only seems to be one that works for take-off.

When I say it's long past time this were fixed, what I mean is the game should never have been released this way. I know you Daidalos Team guys haven't been tinkering with the sim that long, relatively speaking. I don't blame you for the fact that Oleg never did anything about it, but I do think something like this, that would benefit everyone and greatly improve the realism of the sim, is very much worth the time it would take to do it, no matter what needed to be pushed to the back burner.


I.D.

I am 57 years old and my father and uncles were soldiers. I was fortunate to be acquainted with so many of that generation, most of whom are now dead, and I miss them. Your post reminded me of a short conversation I had with one such, an ex RAF navigator who flew in Handley Page Halifaxes. He new I was interested in aircraft because I have a private pilot licence, fly microlights and used to be a jumper (parachutist). He mentioned that the early model Halifaxes often did not recover from a 90 degree bank. Incredulous, I said: "Surely they did'nt put a 4 -engined aircraft into a 90 Degree bank!!." (I thought he was joking.) He simply said:"They did with a fighter on their tail!" Your post made me laugh, that's all. Suggestion; Get high on their flank, dive and make high-speed firing passes. If it were too easy it would become boring.

Hi people.

I would like to know how difficult is to develop and add new vehicles to the game. I ask this because I feel the sim is missing important vehicles, and it would be good if Team Daidalos (or a specific developer, I don't know how they work) could add some of these in the next patches.

I miss vehicles mainly of three nations:

France - There aren't any kind of vehicle or tanks, but considering the lack of French stuff, even aircraft, those aren't a priority at all.

England - We could have early vehicles, like the Austin truck series, and some tanks, like Crusader, Churchill, etc., that were used in the North Africa, for example, before the British start receiving great amounts of American stuff through Lend-Lease.

Italy - It's a shame we don't have a single Italian vehicle, or even a tank, in the sim . They were used in some numbers at the USSR with the ARMIR, by the Whermacht in Italy after the armistice, but mainly in the Balkans and North Africa. CV-33, M13/40, the Semoventes, and the Fiat trucks would be my bet.

I think adding these vehicles would increse realism level, and make some strafings much funnier . If someone is interested, I can add some links to these vehicles data and profiles. But, anyway, it's just a secondary request. If this process request too much resources and abusive hours of work, it's better just leave it aside and keep doing the most important work. That's why my first question.

I would like to thanks Team Daidalos for their good work, and for the promising 4.11 patch. Thanks in advance guys.

Nope. I tried this, and unless I'm doing something wrong, it only works to jettison the cannon of the Hs-129Wa.

For other planes, if you select unlimited ammo from the options menu and choose any loadout option that includes rockets, bombs or gunpods, you're stuck with them for the entire mission.
