More twin Engine flyables in IL-2 1946

Not really. Me-210A isnt modeled. But I guess nobody would want to fly that thing. One of the worst planes of the war.

And also, the Ju-88 A14. I think its incredibly easy to make.

Differences compared to A4:

No horizontal bombsight, MG-FF installed in its place (like Ju-88A4/Torp)
Balloon cutters, integral to wings (not visible on model)
Slightly more armor

I'd be happy to fly subject she is from Hungarian production batch.

I meant the original German 210A, which was terrible. Hungarian, modified 210C wasnt bad at all.

You could also include the Bf-110C-3 as a loadout option for the C-1, since the only difference between the C-1 and the C-3 was replacing the MG FF with the MG FF/M. That would allow for all the Bf-110C options that are important for the game.

The Invasion of Poland would be an interesting area for IL2 to explore, since the campaign was literally a proving ground for both the German and Soviet air forces, and since maps of Poland can also be used for the battles of 1944-45.

The only problem is that it would require modeling a whole bunch of aircraft and ground equipment that weren't used anyplace else.

yeah, i think it wouldn't take much time to make this versions of 110 it would be great to see these planes

For AI planes, we need to think in terms of what aircraft share the same basic external model, with minor differences that could be modeled using skins.

The simplest new planes to implement are the ones that just had slight tweaks to armament - which could potentially be modeled as a loadout rather than a whole new plane.

The next best thing are the planes that just had an uprated engine or minor differences in armor or equipment, which would require minor changes to existing Flight Models or Damage Models.

For flyable planes, things get a bit trickier since there were sometimes equipment changes between models, which means that crew stations might need to be reworked, essentially creating a whole new plane. Even something as simple as a change to armament or ordinance loadouts might require a reworking of the cockpit.

But, for reworkings of crew stations, it might be possible to create well-done "frankenplanes" where part of one existing modeled is attached to parts of another existing model. For example, it might be possible to easily create a Soviet Lend-Lease A-20C or A-20G by swapping the Soviet UTK-1 turret for the US-made Martin turret.

more versions of betty

So, making Bf 110C-1, C-3, "soviet" A-20s, and A-20H with beefier engines will be very easy. I wish I can see them in next release

A flyable Hungarian Me-210 would also open up some interesting new campaign possibilities.
