Wish we had Bristol Bombay for transport duties in MTO (DGen campaigns need transport aircraft for transfer, intercept and paradrop missions) – AI only, of course.
Arguably the most famous desert interception – Bf 109s of JG 27 shot down the Bristol Bombay of No 216 Sqn carrying Lt.Gen. William Gott who had just been appointed commander of the 8th Army.

Following a test of the new 4.11 view settings on the Skies of Valor server, I noticed that many players are asking a setting able to exclude just external padlock.
Actually this is not possible. If you totally remove padlock no Track IR users are badly handcapped and also it is really hard (for all) to distinguish between friend or foe small ground targets. Map design can limit this, spacing the ground troops, but this really interferes with the creation of live environments were tanks and troops are enough near to fight. If you remove external enemy view and leave padlock enabled you still have the possibility to fight externally in arcade way, following targets continuously with no possibility for them to escape and this is a thing that most pilots do not want, because if not hardcore, they're enough mature to appreciate challenging environments. The IL2 community is old, there are not so many rookies around, most appreciate challenging environments. Hope it can be done with the new patch, just to complete the optimum work done on the view settings with 4.11. BB

Heres a request for a "small" change in the gui.
When using Full Mission Builder View/Object/Show you will always see the object displayed in its Summer skin. Could this be changed so that if you are on a Desert or Winter map you would see the object in the Desert or Winter skin, as appropriate? This only affects the drop down viewer. The object appears ok if you zoom into the map. Ashe

Hmmm, what about Arado Ar-196? There is lack of flyable hydroplanes in il-2 1946 and the plane I've just mentioned would be good choice to make it flyable. It doesn't have any internal view but the external model is pretty nice so making the cockpit would be, in my opinion, good idea.

As much as I’d also love to see the Ar-196 flyable in the sim as it is one of my sentimental favourites, it’s a simple but sad fact that the current mission set does not readily cater well to it or many of the other non-flyable recon types, sure it was armed with a 20mm cannon in each of the wings and a 7.9mm MG in the lower cowl, but these appear to be more or less ineffective against even the smallest water craft within the sim, at least this has been my experience as I’ve strafed and emptied magazines into enough of them on numerous occasions to no avail, however the ability to carry a 50kg bomb under each wing may be the only saving grace as these would be little more effective on such targets. Unfortunately unless or until the vulnerability of these smaller class of vessels is reduced, something that I’d like to add to the wish list by the way, then the only realistic option available to this plane is for it to continue being available only as target fodder
