4.12 & 4.12.1 Appreciation Thread

[ckolonko]

Thanks Daedalus Team! Just had a dogfight in a P47-D vs BF109Ks. I was able to out dive the 109s on a number of occasions but ended up getting hit in the right wing and started losing fuel. I got off a shot at a 109 head on while damaged and got a kill. Realising I was losing fuel fast I headed for the nearest airfield. On approach my port gear failed to deploy. I tried to lower it manually but there was nothing doing. I made the landing on the remaining wheel. Just after touchdown the remaining gear gave way. As I rolled along the concrete runway the sparks ignited the leaking fuel. I was able to bail out of my poor P47.
Quite simply the best experience I have ever had in IL2 and just what I have been looking for!
Keep up the amazing work!

Huge thanks to TD, the squad is having a blast with it and everyone's especially loving the new effects + native widescreen support (no more me walking through how to edit the conf.ini with everyone!). FMB additions are a huge step forward too.

Yeah I think the 4.12 P-47 is the closest to reality that the plans has ever been.
