Nice update today.
I sure wasn't expecting the Wellington.

This is a very pleasant surprise indeed!

TD you guys know how to tease

Question : Will it be flyable or AI?

[Daniël]

A Wellington! Great!!!

[Wiesel]

WELLINGTON! GREAT!!!

It would be great to see a wellington, especially a flyable version, as reading these forums, it is a very missed bomber. It's strange that people seem to mention the Wellington more so than the Lancaster.

Would be nice to see if it is as resiliant & able to soak up the damage they suffered due to the geometric structure they used to build it with.

With regard to float planes, how about a Arado 196 or Heinkel 115?

Lovely looking model and a lovely sight seeing a great british bomber(hoping it flyable) oh not to be too picky will their be a chance for the merlin power Wellington.

In many ways the Wellington is more "useful" to us as it was used for much of the war and over a variety of theatres including in North Africa. Don't get me wrong... I've grown up with a Lancaster flying over my house every so often so I have a special appreciation for that aircraft. I'd love to see it too. Maybe we will yet!

The Wellington looks very nice and is indeed an unexpected yet very welcome addition. This plane does conjure up the possibility of some early war ground directed night fighter operations, now all we need are those missing up-gunned Ju-88 variants to play with.

I know that many look forward to, neigh dream of there one day being a fully-fledged Bomber Command with the Stirling, Halifax and Lancaster heavies available in Il2-46. Not to mention the likelihood of an equally fledged Costal Command operating the B-17, B-24 and soon the Wellington (it would be even nicer if a Costal Command variant of the Wellington and that projected B-24 could be modelled in parallel).

Now that I think it, dedicated anti-submarine and anti-convoy missions are both major portions of WWII that appear to be missing from Il2-46, which is interesting considering the significant role such operations played in both Russia’s and Britain’s survival. IMO the maps for such missions would be quite simple being mostly ocean with some choice pieces of mostly uninhabited remote coastline (maybe the odd berg floating here and there also). Bearing in mind we already have much of the required elements, like the Naval and Merchant ships, along with many of the key axis and allied aircraft already flyable, with those new subs on the way……………

But I digress, many thanks for another mouth-watering update.
