4-12 wish list (Merged)

While were thinking about aircraft... more Beaufighter variants would be fun to have. We already have a solid base with the Australian Mark 21. A Mark X maybe? I guess the radar install would be difficult.

Or a Mosquito bomber. Pretty widely used aircraft in both cases that would be useful in a variety of settings and scenarios.

Hurricane Mk IID; we also have a solid base already
Not to mention B-25C/D/J solid-nosed strafer. Or a Ju 88C-6...

How's another funny..
When the AI goes in for the kill, how about letting them just go straight in and shoot, instead of doing all these fancy aerobatics behind the target and generally letting it get away

It's as if the AI want to play with it's food. Sitting there as wingman I watch this in disbelief.. eventually losing my cool and pushing the rest of the flight out of the way and plastering the target to tiny pieces.

Can TD put in Japancat's 3D model updates for the A6M, Ki-43 and Ki-61 Tony

While playing War in the Pacific Admirals Edition, I was thinking about all the aircraft that actually served in the Pacific compared to what we get in IL2.

More Beaufighter variants would be awesome, and the Mk.X would be a great place to start.

The strafer versions of the B-25D would be excellent, as they saw a lot of sevice over and near PNG.

I would like to see the A-36 and P-51A. I use them in mods, and we all know they're available, but I would like to see all that stuff in an official release at some point anyways.

The Ki-44 is a must have as well.

The Ki-48 and Ki-49 really should be included. If one thinks the selection of Japanese naval bombers is slim, the selection of army types is even more so with only one example in the two versions of the Ki-21. The Ki-67 would be nice too, Aces High 2 has it, why can't we!

Oh yes that would be great additions in IL2 1946: early P51 and Ki44 especially. I would also like to see an early Typhoon (my favorite British plane with Hurricane, BTW new marks for Hurri won't hurt neither, think desert and big guns haha).

And a late war Griffon powered Spitfire too: there's something really badass in their look, especially the bubble top/clipped wing version. to me they look like a very dangerous flying insect, nothing like the "romantic" early mark Spits anymore!

I have read that Japanese and Russian aircraft radios were notoriously unreliable during the Second World War. This must have greatly affected how pilots fought as individuals as well as overall unit effectiveness. I have read, in fact, that in some cases defective radios were actually removed from aircraft to reduce their weight. I wonder if simulating these communication problems would make the AI even more realistic offline - and I am not sure what to suggest about the online game.
