Beyond 414 wish list

[taly001]

Il2:1946 has grown so many new theatres of combat its impossible to cover them all. Night fighters, or rather nacht-jagers are incredibly interesting but if we had them then its why no Lancaster!

If I understand it there is a ~150 plane limit in the game? Given we have about 100 variants just for Yak, Pe, LaGG, MiG, I-16 and Spitfire (LOL) we would need to loose some to fit some "needed" planes in.

4.14 seems East Front development, but as a Pacific guy I'm happy with what its received already But my wishes.....even if only AI now.

Ki-48 (needed for JAAF, all fronts all war)
P-38G (widely used pacific, east asia and mediterranean)

Spitfire Ia (iconic plane, and many more produced than II)
B-26 (important West Front tactical).

For player plane TBF Avenger

Ki48 we have as AI .. Model was made by Legendary SaQSoN ... and our good friend Hayate make few magnificent Skins for that Bird.

and i have wish or plans for Spit MkI ... can't say when but i want it.

AI in my opinion still needs to be worked on. The AI fighters have issues being close to the ground (they start to loop if they get close), the gunnery is very accurate for shots they shouldnt even be able to see over the nose for.

most other things seem fine, though mods like DBW had really good AI that behaved more realistically and according to its role more (for example BF-109s used energy more conservatively).

The best part was if you flew low, they would still chase you and hit you. Now, like I said, just fly low enough and enemies cant kill you.

I read this very often but I can not agree completely. Yes, sometimes you can escape flying low. But another time, you will not.
My experience with AI today is mostly online. So I wonder is there any difference between AI behaviour in multiplay and in offline?
Just in past month I recall at least two incidents online (I like to study interesting tracks):
1) I was chased persistently by a pair of Pe-3bis from about 1500 m to the ground for several minutes and could not run away until I brought them under friendly AAA fire.
2) My Kate bomber was literally gang banged by two pairs of P-40s. Attacks began when I was at about 200 m and continued when I tried to escape at roofs and trees tops level. Was fired upon from different angles and finally got "pilot killed" and engine fire in one burst from about 1 o'clock. That smart AI was flying at probably just 10-20 m.
On the other hand I remember how I survived attacks of AI Mosquitos in my He 129. My engines kicking the dust from the ground, I'm pushing the rudder left and right, Mossies overtaking me and sometimes stupidly flying straight in my gunsight... And Mk103 is nice cannon.

A larger version of the generic Western Europe map that's already present in the game would be nice to.

How about a real version of North West Germany?

I wish that the sound of the weels squeak touching the ground could be also heard from inside the cockpit instead of only on external view.

Thank you for Daidalos team and all who make this awesome game get better and better.

That would be cool! However it would be a massive task to make it. It would take an enormous amount of research and access to period maps to get it built accuratley.

So I would be perfectly happy with just an enlarged generic version of the Western Europe map already in game. It wouldn't need as much research to make hence reducing the time and effort needed to build it. And as a generic map without any geographical names on it, it can be used as a stand-in for more than one geographical area for making single missions, QMB missions or campaigns.
