realy not a bad planeset to create a BoB scenario.
And hopefuly Maddox will keep these scenario related work

IIRC it takes them about 6 months to do the cockpit and everything else in order to make it flyable in CoD. The only mystery now is the E-4. Apart from that we're getting the full package, I do not know what you expected TBH.

I find this a very topic interesting.

I must say, I've often wondered the extent to which IL-2 flight sim "pilots" fly various aircraft.

I must tell you, I stick with one aircraft at a time - I find a single aircraft's flying characteristics tough enough to master without jumping from one type of aircraft to another.
That's not to say that I don't fly other aircraft - I do - but when I do, it will be for a relatively long time.
It would perhaps be interesting to run a poll on this.

"American and Russian planes".......in the Battle of Britain? IL2CoD offers already more flyable planes than any other BoB sim ever did. 12 planes is pretty much everything of importance that flew in that conflict, and even some more.

The Bf109 E4 should of been included IMHO.

His first post and it starts with a whine already.. C'mon.. check the IP someone..lol!

Can't flippin' wait

Each of the aircraft in CoD likely took the same amount of time to create as a dozen (maybe more?) aircraft for IL-2: xx.
So, no, I don't think that 12 flyable aircraft is weak at all.
