"The "Italian Air Corps" (Corpo Aereo Italiano, or CAI) was an expeditionary force of the Italian Royal Air Force (Regia Aeronautica) that participated in the Battle of Britain during the final months of 1940 during World War II. The CAI supported the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) and flew against the British Royal Air Force (RAF). The CAI achieved limited success during its brief existence. In general, the corps was hampered by the inadequacy of its equipment."
And so forth.
Aircraft covered by the N-G agreement are never going to appear in an official IL-2 1946 release unfortunately. That ship sailed many years ago. Fortunately we do have a solid selection and a few more American types can still be added from Curtiss for example.
BoS will likely eventually subsume most of the interest that I still have with IL-2. But with a new patch on the way and some exciting new content, IL-2 4.13+ still has some life left in it I think. We had 50+ players on Battlefields1 on Hyperlobby last week. It's not dead yet and we can have so much fun playing so many different theatres. |
It's such a crying shame that IL-2 1946 will never ever get official Northrop Grumman aircraft into this great flight sim. The potential of these denied aircraft would of been enormous.
I'll go out on a limb here and say I'm still hopeful that one day, maybe one day the situation might change but for the moment I still love what Team Daidalos does for this great flight sim.
That's my 2 cents. Keep up the great work TD
Thanks.
