It sure would be a help of the FMB was improved. It might be too much to ask, but if the FMB improvements in COD were applied to IL2 it would push the IL2 to a much higher level game play.

I know many that became disillusioned with the FMB in IL2 and long ago moved onto other things. The FMB in IL2 has never been adequate, and working with it is so tedious and time consuming.

Two major improvement areas needed in IL2 - AI performance improvements and the FMB.

I was under the impression that FMB upgrades had been a key feature in the 4.10 patch?

Greetings People...I started ww2 flight simming with a game called aces high, three years ago....i got 1946 in preparation for the cliffs of dover...something i would like to see in 1946, that is also in aces high would be PB1 rockets for the FW190 (and what ever other planes used them). In aces high they have 12 rockets (6 under each wing) and they are designed for armor. otherwise im very impressed with this game and the fact that it has such a dedicated and talented team continuing to expand and improve on an already great game, well dont TD and Oleg and company...

here is some more information,
Copy-n-Pasted from a website that used "German Aircraft Weapons of WWII", by Ellis Kalhsberg, as a source.

...
One of those was the Panzerblitz 1 rocket. Developed by Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabrik, the Panzerblitz (Pb1) was a more successful missile than the Panzerschreck 1 that preceded it. The rocket consisted of an 80mm mortar grenade (Gerat M8 -Device M

mated with the R4M air-to-air missile. In 1 Sept 1944, four Pb1 launch rails were installed under the wing of Fw-190F-8 Werke Number 733705 for trails. Tests showed the rockets could be launched from about twice the distance from the target (about 200 yards) as the Panzerschreck but with a maximum target approach speed of 305 mph, the aircraft was vulnerable to ground fire.

The number of rockets fitted beneath each wing rose to six and finally standardized on eight very late in the war. Not surprisingly, the smaller warhead penetrated only 90mm of steel. At first, the rockets were fired in two salvos, but later launched in pairs. On 1 January, 1945, the pilot of an Fw-190F-8, equipped with the Pb 1, crash landed near Asche, Holland, giving the Allies their first glimpse of the new weapon system.

Production of the Fw-190F-8/Pb 1 received high priority and, by February 1945, 115 aircraft were so equipped. Meanwhile, the infamous SS-controlled factory near Brno, Czechoslovakia, were producing missiles at the rate of 16,000 a month. By February, 1945, some 43,850 missiles had been manufactured. The PB1 type was replaced by Panzerblitz 2, a modified R4M with a Panzerschreck warhead, capable of penetrating 180mm of armor, but that is another story. The Panzerblitz 1 system also equipped a small number of BMW 801 TS powered Fw-190F-9 aircraft that started leaving the Arado and NDW production lines in October of 1944.

Another source says [oh, yes, conflicting info. How typical wouldnt you say?] that that both the Pzrschreck and Pnzrblitz were 88mm and that the Pb1 did have an AP and not an HE warhead on it. - "The Encyclopedia of Weapons of WWII", edited by Chris Bishop.
