Wonderful! This is exciting!

One thing to note: The standard Shturmovik type AI will cause the Li-2 to shed its wings in dives - so it may be best to use a bomber AI and leave it for the player only to use the ShKAS.

However, if you could create an AI variant that used shallower, gentler attacks, or started/stopped firing at a long range - it would be great.

I tried making a Grokhovskiy G-52 but the AI had similar problems. It was still fun to use though.

Sadly, it seems that no photographic records of the Lisunov-2 armed with a pair of NS-45 45mm autocannons have emerged.
