What I would like the most is the diesel variant of the Pe-8. Unreliable at high altitude or cold weather and no wonder considering the absurd low compression ratio of 13.5 to 1! Loss of a turbocharger would instantly stop the diesel cycle. Still, i'm a diesel junkie and it could be the only diesel engined plane in IL2. The sound of the engines would be comparable with every diesel V12. At least they were economical so missions in IL2 would require a very modest fuel load.
The Ash-82 versions are also nice. Too bad those versions had no gunners in the gondola's.
What I don't understand is the request for 4000 to 6000 USD in donations to finish the project.
