You're all missing the Spitfire.

I sure as hell don't want to spend another six years stuck in a Yak labelled washing machine waiting for the next big thing in flight sims.

No Bf 109 F-4, AFAIK no unit engaged in Taifun was equipped with them.

Dear god yes, gimme the A-20c

If you're lucky you might get some early Tomahawks for the latter stages of the soviet counter-offensive. No cannon-armed Spits, no P-39, no A-20s ... Not for Taifun.

I would point out that if the flagship aircraft for the next installment of this game is the IL2 it could pose some problems.

The IL2 is obviously a ground attack aircraft, and most of us can't currently fly over ground in Cliffs of Dover thanks to stutters.

could be a minor issue.

i dont care if there will be no F-4 in "Battle for Moskau" , as long there will be the FieldMod posibility for the F-2 to arm it with a MG151/20

i see, for our "anglo-american" friends it realy would have been better if 1C would have choosen something from the MTO as next AdOn Battlescenario
or at least something from later EasternFront
Kuban Spring 43 would have been my choice for that:
the Kuban map is still one of my favorites from classic IL2. So Shipattacks would also be possible....and well, a lot of 'wanted' aircraft there: Fw190 (even they were as groundattack planes there), Lend and lease Spitfire V, P-39.
But perhaps too much totaly new ones..... with the early Moskau scenario at least the LW ones are , some more some less, modifications of the BoB LW ones

at least the P-40B/C should be made flyable in the Moskau scenario, as it came in service in october 1941 around Moskau.

Personal must-haves are the Sturmy, Hs123, Polikarpovs 153 and 16. Plus the Storch and Po-2. Looking forward to trying to land a dangerously overladen He-111 on the ice covered strip of Gumrak one day too!

Amen to that,and 20mm Wingcannons is also a must. And get rid of those useless MG17`s and gimme MOOOAR ammo for the nose 151..

but :/ i guess the 151 pods was not avaliable until the f4... sigh, We need the f4

Ill take a p40 over any early war russian fighter anyday, i find the .50`s to be the most average balanced round in the game. Ammo vs Stopping power wise
