Adding indiscriminatly new aircaft and content only makes it difficult to understand wich part of iL2 is going to be improved.
I think that it would make more sence if we get udates (new aircraft, maps etc.) for all 3 theaters of operation. This will satisfy more people and will improve iL2 as a whole.

for example patch 4.11 could contain the following:

new ETO map
new PTO map
new Eastfront map

one new flyable ETO aircraft
one new flyable PTO aircraft
one new flyable Eastfront aircraft

improved ETO aircraft cockpit
improved PTO aircraft cockpit
improved Eastfront aircraft cockpit

I forgot the MTO.

Mig-3, Ju-52, Li-2/C-47/L2D, PBN

R-10. Hands down.

In a few planes the gunsight is only slightly above the engine so its
pretty much inpossible to see anything that happens underneath your crosshairs.

So my question, could you consider changing the seat/gunsight position of the
razorback p-47's, the mig's and perhaps the ki61?

I know a slight correction was done on the Mc202 and it makes a huge differance when aiming

Thanks

The tempest should be altered as it was implemented incorrectly when it was launched I remember Gibbage being unhappy that the seat was changed and it lost it rear view due the increased closeness to the rear plate (unless ive missed something and its been changed already)

That would be Alex Voicu who did the Tempest. Gibbage did a great many other aircraft.

The original positions for the Tempest cockpit were changed at the last minute and that is part of the reason why rearward visibility is poor. It's tricky because the interior struts can block the fuel indicators in some positions as well.

Not sure what it takes to alter the viewpoints. The cockpit may need to be recompiled to do that.

Would this be realistic though? I'm all for changing pilot's POV if it is wrong, or if historically seat and sight positions could be altered to give the pilot optimum field of view, but not if it would be unrealistic.

Couldnt agree more and im not talking about the Fw190 for instance.
I noticed the seat/sight position of the later p47 versions are higher than the razorback ones, making the earlier models alot harder to aim with.

Just a quick request - please could you set the Burma map to a PTO map so we no longer get D-Day stripes on the static C-47's.

Thanks.

I think this request can go to 4.12, But I though of adding Neutral countries Sweeden,Spain, and Switzerland to the game. also a new feature that would pick the oppenent would face from which side (either Allied or Axis). Also For the Neutral country feature that I would like to see from the feature that you have the enemy's planes which you could pick the enemy and players country.
