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

indeed, the BF110C/D/E and the Blenheim IV would be fantastic as flyable planes - espacially as this game looks like that it got beside the easternfront (as its main scenario) also a very good second "main"- scenario, the MTO !!

building COOP MTO stuff for VOW"R" is a lot of fun.

but, heaving SoW:BOB in mind, i doubt they would get a clearance for these planes

Team Daidalos, if you could incorporate a fix like Sans FoV changer plus the ability to run perfect settings in Triplehead2go (without the flashing textures) it would make IL2 perfect for a growing number of multiple display users.

At any rate, you guys have already gone more than the extra mile for the community so thank you, thank you, thank you.

In 4.09 on new Italian planes was installed new version of Breda MGs(yeah, with better performance). You plan install them on all Italian planes?
