Daidalos Team's Room -QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS ONLY on IL2 Authorized Addons

[Skoshi Tiger]

After being shot up and chased halfway across a map last night only to shot up on the runway (The attacker continued his attackrun into the concrete next to me by the way) I remembered how much I enjoy a good vulch every now and again!

As a bit of fun would it be possible to replace the spent ammo cases with feathers when the guns are fired over an Airstrip?

Cheers!

Would it be possible to have the return of blood splatters on the canopy when a pilot/gunner is wounded/killed?

All the development updates being posted are showing great things. I'm really looking forward to the next patch. Thanks for all of TD's efforts.

A little request to consider. I'd love to see the PBY Catalina flyable, especially the amphibian version so that you could land on both land and water. With the existing work going into ship DM's there is bound to be more demand for Search and Rescue capability.

Catalinas would be fun for single player campaigns and missions. They could carry a mix of bombs and torpedos and flying the way they do would make it quite a challenging affair to survive a campaign in one.

On the other hand, this would have to be specifically tailored and balanced by the mission designer. For example, in an online environment i wouldn't bet on them being very popular.

They're one of the slowest types ever built, with a normal cruise speed between 95-105 knots IAS, maybe 120 knots for short periods of time before overheating and they don't even have flaps. I did a 10-hour simulated flight in one from Bahamas to St.Martin on a friend's PC, but that was on FSX and we could save mid-flight to continue another day. It's a fun bird to fly, stable, pondering and with a lot of character, but not exactly what i'd like to fly into a flak protected zone

Could work well for patrols hunting U-boats but then again, this would have to be scaled appropriately as not many people would be willing to fly for 10 hours to see a single U-boat or none at all. The range on that thing is insane however, we started that 10-hour simulated carribean tour i did with my buddy on full tanks and after landing it was still more than half-full.

They were used as airliners in Australia back in the day and i think they still hold a record for longest flight times among commercial passenger airlines, with routes as much as 20-22 hours long
I wouldn't mind flying a coastal command campaign in a catalina

S!

Jacques Costeau had a Catalina, always admired it in his TV series as a kid..Oh the times

I don't know if the engine permits that, but what I would like to see is the ability to turn external sounds completely off - or at least to be able to dampen them with some *.ini setting. Yeah, I know about attenuation setting in the conf.ini - but after extensive testing of different settings I haven't found any difference in the ability to hear external sounds with EAX on.

I would welcome some mearly 110`s , early birds are very interesting in VOW and personaly they are far more challenging

What a great idea, the Catalina would be perfect to go along the new SAR mechanics that have been shown.

or Russian MBR-2 ... Greate plane too

I'd like to see improved ground handling. A lot seem very reluctant to steer with differential breaking.
