It will be a online killing machine if you ask me

Its indeed somewhat dangerous for Zero's. Nimble and fast, compared to it.
You can really close-fight it - different than P-40s. Its a fun to fly.
But you better do not get hit.

It is an interesting plane no doubt and I've been looking forward to it since Gibbage first posted on the project. I found that my main problem with the Avia was the low speed and very vulnerable engine (making attacks on bombers incredibly difficult). I assume the situation will be similar?

Just to throw my hat in the ring...

I LOVE the obscure aircraft and I love spending some time flying the stuff that other people have disregarded. For a while a lot of dogfight servers made available the Ki-100 or the Ki-61 and I loved flying the Ki-100 especially against planes like the Spitfire IX +25lb and the La-7 and the Ki-84s that tended to dominate those types of servers. I was often shot down but I had a ton of fun because when I did shoot them down it was in a plane with much more limited performance AND in some rare cases I was able to do things they didn't know I could do or not because in some instances they had never even SEEN a Ki-100 before.

That's just an example. I've flown just about everything the game has to offer and even the obscure types can be a ton of fun in the right instances.

The Fokker D.XXI and the SM.79 are probably some of the most obscure, yet most fun to fly in the Il-2 collection. Spits are boooooring

Good grief mate, be careful of speaking such blasphemy in public. That kind of talk could get you burned at the stake.

I have always been a proponent of the more obscure aircraft.

Always will be.

That said, one real thing the sim needs for us onliners that fly long missions is a fix for the "Transferring Mission Bug".

It's maddening. Fly for half an hour or 45 minutes on the way to a distant target. Have the bay doors open and skimming the water for a skip bombing run. The flak from the escorting destroyer is bursting around you as you press on. Your finger moves to the bomb release, and...

BOINK!

Dropped to the "Transferring Mission" screen.

Please, can this be fixed?

First step to fixing it is identifying what's causing it - and up to this point any ideas the coders had turned out to be a dead end. You know the saying: "Bad weeds grow tall."

Hi guys .. excuse that I haven't had time to read through 102 pages to see if this has been asked

Back in the SimHQ interview regarding 4.09m development, there was mention and a video about recon missions and the opposing force scrambling to intercept the recon flight

I thought this a very exciting feature and do not see it mentioned in the top of this thread at all for 4.10 development

what happened with those ideas ?

also congrats on fixing the cursor freeze bug with 4.09m

Of course there are recon flights, just not in df servers.

Nzwilliam: theres at least one common factor I've found: CZ_AH_Dedicated. To an individual player, happens there on almost daily basis, perhaps once a year playing in all the other servers. I might send the staff an email about it...

I guess you mean setting Triggers, right?

I asked the same before, i hope they will implement it.
