Some of the kill stealing dweebs online care so much they are willing to risk ramming into friendlies Recently I've been taking the approach of totally obliterating my target if possible. Or mud moving - much more satisfying

I prefer that score dont appear, less stealers

VERY Nice!!!)

[JarheadEd]

Very very nice! I had no idea I would see a Dornier in there. That made my day.

I'm not quite sure what we're seeing with the IAR...New skin? And the PZL.11 & Gladiator?

EDIT - just noticed the Gladiator has an opened canopy, nice addition

Glad to see that there will also be a revised negative G effect. And it looks like you really are going to take care of the AI. Bravo Team, Bravo!

Now, not to put the cart before the horse, but what are you planning for the future?

Not much new about the IAR. New default skins makes it surely look nicer and there was one nasty visual bug with the landing gear that is fixed.

Great update guys. I fly the IAR a lot offline. The landing gear fix is welcomed and applauded but I am curious as to why DT did not replace the simple cylinder wheels on the IAR. The video footage seems to show that the wheels are unaltered from the originals. The Ju88 has new, high-poly/high resolution textured wheels.

Just curious,

Gladiator has new skis (I think).

PZL may have had some model tweaks to clean it up (and Loku's DM improvements?). I'd love to see a 2-gun P.11 (as the majority served in this configuration).

Question: Do the AI improvements extend to B-25 straffers not straffing if their attack waypoint is high enough? Or shallow incline dive bombing rather than stuka style dive bombing for more aircraft (I've seen Ar-234's diving at 80+ degrees )

I'm just as excited about this stuff than SoW:WoW (perhaps because it might actually come out sooner - and I won't need a PC, but also because Il-2 is wonderful as is - despite the fact that SoW will be effectively definitive for the WWII combat flight sim genre).

i hope the 4.10 IARs will not have these insane amounts of ammoloadouts (1000rpg in the 80's .303 or 250rpg in the 81c's MG151/20 ) anymore and the P.11 will loose its weird DM

this sound more "logical":
http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/magazin..._eng_iar80.htm
600rpg in the .303 of IAR 80
400rpg in the .303 of 81a&c
120rpg in the 81c's MG151/20
300rpg in the 81a's heavy machineguns , even if its weird that they are MG131 and not 13mm "Brownings"

oh, and please, give the IARs mirrors a usefull angle please................ this "looking up to spot diving fighters" is rubbish IMHO !

thats annyoing like hell , everytime i use the B-25J in a COOP mission for the VOW...........
a new flyable plane, called "Mitchell III", with the AI routine like the AI B-25C would propably help - the rest could be a 100% copy from the actual B-25J (sure if it would loose its four fuselage .50cal too, i would not scream )

and the A-20C is not different ............................. both can hardly be used as "level"-bombers if any enemy target obejct is close to their attackwaypoint.
