You mean the Panzerblitz? Panzerschreck was a shoulder launched AT rocket.

Panzerschrek was also used as stop-gap measure before the Panzerblitz came into service, but it was very difficult to use with proficence beacuse it had to be launched from close distance from the target.

I mean Panzerblitz rockets, I stand corrected

So I was thinking (always dangerous) that a few small scale dogfight maps could be really useful to have. Updated textures, new layout, something generic west/central Europe and generic Pacific islands/jungle would be great. Big enough to do some interesting stuff but with a low object count (NW Germany is great for example but high object count means we get too much lag on the map).

Just reading through the development of the P-40 and the fact that the skins will no-longer work due to the mirroring of part of the model being fixed I wonder if it will be possible to do the same with the P-38 model?

many years have passed since the P-38 model turned up in IL2 and yet historically accurate skins are almost impossible to be made for it as the tail is mirrored and any numbers or letters added are instantly reversed.

I wonder if it will be possible to have (even a new P-38 version like the P-38J-25-LO) modelled so that the skins can be added correctly?

This is a wish list thread...it's just a wish

(But if it's a choice between this and the P-47 cockpit remodel....P-47 every time )

We already have a P-38J-25-LO.....oh wait, that's a mod....

Shameless quote for my comment (allow me one please). I realise there is a modded version of the P-38J-25-LO, which is why I mentioned it as it's not an official aircraft.

I do hope we will get a chance to 'skin' a P-38 without the mirroring issue though if the same can be done for the p-40?

@ Team Daidalos, can you Guys make a update of the EuroPlanes.txt and the PacificPlanes.txt? I'm working on a big DGen mod and going crazy that I can't add some new "stock" planes into the campaigns like Hs-123, Ju88 C-6, Do217, etc.

I think that smaller, but realistic (geographically speaking) areas are a good idea.
Usually dogfight servers do not use wide areas, but a good variety and historical resemblance is interesting.
Historical and geographic resemblance gives the correct mood to the battles, the correct sense of being there.
One great miss in stock version is some Philippines areas (Leite etc.) which are useful to build late war maps in the pacific teather (ki84s were used mainly there).
