This was my first post at this forum,and it may very well be my last!
I suggest that if Mods,Modpacks,Franken planes or whatever else your problems are...that they should be left out of any Mod related threads!
I didn't read anywhere that this was only a 'Mods save the world' forum.
So why I'm not supposed to write my oppinion about mods here?

Do I need to remind you again,with a quote from the author AndyJWest...
what the thread was suppose to be about

The thread was not a "state your opinion" thread on Mods
Why would you assume it was

I suggest go and reading what I posted and quoted to begin with,
more thoroughly this time before posting

Also,go read the authors first post

BTW,nobody said or posted anything about it being a save the mods world thread... let alone let's bad mouth mods and those who have made any

It seems no matter what is posted,it is either to lay blame,insult or for some to defend

I find it all a little bit absurd to say the least
Quite humorous to see how offensive Mods are to some people

But what's wrong with 100 versions of the Bf109?

It was the major German fighter of WW2 and was in production from 1936 to 1958 (including the S-99, S-199 and the Hispano Buchon). The current lineup of Bf-109s only covers a fraction of total variants.

Given how many people have a love affair with the hardware of the Third Reich, and how it seems like every fourth person playing IL2 wants to pretend to be Erich Hartmann, why not give them what they want?

DT could easily make a whole bunch of mods obsolete by tweaking existing FM, DM and 3d models to produce the following:

1) Models or production blocks of existing planes not currently included in the game, which had significant weaponry and performance variations. Examples: P-38E, P-38F, P-47B, P-40M, B-25B, Hurricane MkIIId & MkIV.

(BTW, the modded P-38E & F series was done by Gibbage, who built the original P-38 model for IL2. Hardly sub-standard work)

2) Western Allies planes with performance modeled on 100 octane gas.

3) Allied planes with theater/role specific ammo loadouts (i.e., more API rounds for U.S. Pacific theater fighters, no tracers for nightfighters.)

4) Full historical ordinance loadouts for the more popular planes. (e.g., rockets on P-40s and later Hurricanes, Cargo loadouts for cargo planes.)

5) Eastern Front variants of U.S./U.K. lend-lease planes (e.g., A-20C with Soviet dorsal turret and ordinance).

6) Captured, Lend-Lease or export variants of existing planes. (e.g. Romanian variant of the PZL-7, Yugoslavian variant of the Hurricane Mk I)

7) Realistic hypothetical loadouts and other features, especially those tested as prototypes or produced as field mods. (e.g., P-38 Lightning with torpedo loadout, nightfighter variants of Me-262, Mosquito, Bf-110, etc.).

Carrier-based versions of existing planes: Sea Hurricane, Sea Gladiator, ETF-51D Sea Mustang.

9) Realistic hypothetical planes. Not "Luftwaffe 1946" crap, but variants of existing planes which were tested or seriously considered. e.g., Hurricane MkI with Hercules or DB601 engine, IAR 80 with BMW 801 engine, Ju-87C (carrier version).

Instead of all that bitching and moaning back and forth, could modders who produce good quality please simply contact TD in order to have their work included in one of the next official updates? That would really help the community.

It doesn't help if people take offense over the fact that several types of mods (that may be contents or quality related) will simply not find their way into an official add on. Neither does it help to argue and offend over personal preferences. You like Frankenplanes, good for you. Other folks don't. Doesn't mean they're wrong. It just a matter of different opinions.
