The He-177 can wait to be flyable for the 4.14 update plus another great items created for DT. Thank you.

I'm compelled to agree.

4.12 was released without the (very badly needed) remodelled P-40, a plane which was originally intended to be released with 4.12. Not to mention that the P-40K will apparently never be in the picture, considering it's importance in the PTO throughout 1942-43, but that's another matter...

While it would be most welcome in the game, I believe that most would happily accept 4.13 without the He-177, an aircraft that was almost as dangerous to it's own crews as it was intended to be to ground targets, saw only very limited production, and saw more use as a hack than a bomber.

I can guarantee that it's not the He177 holding anything up. The AI model was implemented a while back. Still testing and crushing bugs through the whole thing.

I think there was hope early on that Macwan's new P-40s might make 4.12 but as it was there was not much time and lots more to do. They are gorgeous in 4.13 and it's great to have them.

I wouldn't discount the P-40K, L, N or any other model. Macwan is pretty passionate... it's just a matter of how much time is available.

An odd choice if you think about it, because very few (none?) of the original IL2 maps featured areas which were at sea level.

Hey TD!

Happy New Year for you guys (never too late)!

Thank you very much for the update. It's good to hear from you, and that old lady is receiving all the care she deserves.

More than ever excited with 4.13, and with the promising new content.
