To daidalos mod team

If they were included, a lot of people would be compaining about the unbalanced and unfair planeset, and would continue to make up conspiracy theories.

BTW, NG also had a claim on many of the ships that would have been present in Pearl Harbor, as well as other planes and equipment, not just the Avenger.

Was Curtiss bought out by NG at some point? This pesky NG thingy is very annoying... May the whole Northrop-Grumman board of directors eat rotten caviar and choke on their own barf.

Boo hiss on NG,

+1. Perhaps moderators may correct the thread title. Neutonter is a newcomer (welcome!) and some imprecision is understandable .
As for the SB2C, many have requested it (including me, on a since disappeared thread about request to TD developers). The reason is simple: you can accept some missing plane in a land battle, but it’s much more difficult on the decks of aircraft carriers...
By the way, Avenger is present as AI only, while we have all models of F4F and F6F, so Gr***an can’t do more damage!

For the Japanese side, in my opinion the most sorely missing types are the Ki44 Shoki and Ki45 Toryu. I also believe that should be wiser to add more AI planes (as in the 4.10 patch), because they are simpler to made. If I’m not mistaken, a cockpit requires as much work as a whole new airframe.

It's many times overlooked that entire IL-2 series focused on specific theatre of operation (i.e. was time-space limited). Maps, flyable and AI planes, weaponry, static objects, missions, campaigns etc. were all typical for that battle or theatre. That's why there are gaps. That's why there are fantasy/rare planes in the sim with many real WW2 planes missing.

You are forgeting that after the original IL2 add ons like "Forgoten Battles" and "Pacific fighters" where brought out. And Pacific fighters had and has still very many gaps that it still can be called a "beta"-version.
As to missing Japanese planes, well for Burma missions we have not a single Japanese bomber for the IJA, only stock Japanese bombers that are flyable are the G4M1 and the Aichi Val both are IJN or navy planes, and the Japanese navy and the Japanese army kept to themselves they did not really mingle.
Also British ships as place holders for famous US ships is pretty poor.
Also the Japanese navy had more than aircraft carriers and a few destroyers in their navy too.

You seem pretty enthusiastic about the subject Wutz.

Maybe you could lend DT a hand and model some objects for them.

Just because one sees the obvious one must be a IT-Geek? What kind of logic is that?
If you are happy that IL2 1946 is reduced to a furball orgie good for you!
Guess you must be bored little boy to post just hot air?

Ok - just exactly how does NG have a claim to the ships?

Do you actually have any sort of info that would substantiate that kind of claim?

The U.S. Navy designed the ships of those days, not the contractors. Contractors designed some of the aircraft (not all). Navy yards and contract yards built the ships.

Let's not take this to the nth level please?

S!
