Suggesting to devs

[Abbevilleboy]

Can we please have the correctly configured 8 gun Browning .303 armed MkIa or MkIIa Spits for the Battle of Britain campaign?

Cannon armed Spits only made a very small and brief appearance with 19 Sqn during the BoB period, and then again briefly with 92 Sqn after the Battle in November.

The Spitfire featured in the XBOX Live demo and on the website is a MkVb - these did not become operational until Spring '41.

(Sorry, I have posted this elsewhere as a reply before finding this thread - don't mean to be repetitive but want the developers to see this!)

It may well be meant to be a MkII but it looks like a Vb - that's the problem. And while I appreciate the demo is just an early look it doesn't bode well for the full game to make such an elementary mistake in my opinion.

Anton, can you confirm whether or not the machine guns on the allied planes are de-synced ? A big problem with IL2 was that the allied guns were in sync when firing when they should of been firing one at a time in rapid order.

They are in sync.

Does BoP model the recoil effect of the machine guns firing? In IL2, the incorrect sync of the machine guns of allied planes created alot of adverse yaw and instability. Oleg finally fixed this but it was very late in coming. Just a suggestion to you. Pay no attention to it if it's not gonna be a problem of instability in BoP.

Hey Guilty - nice landing!

I agree, belly landings should be all part of the experience. After all, during the Battle of Britain it was pilot shortage that was the problem, not aircraft production. A pilot could walk away from that and be up fighting again within hours, therefore shouldn't count as a failed attempt.
