Possible for more US aircraft

He 111 H-1 or early H-2 (with only 3 MG 15s)

After reading a bit in Hannu Valtonens book "Luftwaffe saved Finland" about Gefechtsverband Kuhlmeys and their role in stopping the Soviet summer offensive in 1944 on the Karelian Istmus I started looking through all the diffrent battlefield maps in the book and realised there is an area that would be great to have represented in the stock IL-2 1946.

The Southern part of Eastern Karelia (Ladoga Karelia and Aunus), were the front ran along the Svir between Ladoga and Onega for the most part of the Continuation War of 1941-1944.

The area saw heavy fighting during the Winter War in 1939-1940 when the Soviets invaded Finland. Then again during the summer and fall of 1941 as the Finns launched their offensive to recapture what they had lost during the Winter War. After the Finnish offensive the front stabalized along the Svir between Ladoga and Onega and a war of position commenced that lasted until the summer of 1944. Then the Red Army launched it's summer offensive to push the Finns back.

This area was spacely populated with few larger towns or cities, few roads, vast forrests and lot's of lakes, rivers and streams, from small to big and.

This would be a great area for a new summer and winter map. And it would give the Finnish Curtiss Hawk 75's a home since most of them saw service in this area of operation.
The countless lakes would be perfect for secret missions with the upcomming MBR-2 aswell.

I'd love to see this area added as a summer and Winter map sometime in the future.

Great photo, Sita! Thanks for sharing! :D

One of the first modded maps for IL2 was Kapteeni's Svir Map which covers exactly the area you're asking for.

IIRC, it was pretty good.

I wonder if it would be possible to adapt it to stock IL2?

I hope it would since I only play the stock game.

Looking at the photo above.
Those Finns, they put anything on skis, don't they?
Give them B-29 and... :grin:

To be able to increase the engine(s) sound volume heard from the cockpit without increasing all the other objects sound volume (no ear radar).

Thanks.
