4.13 development update discussion and feedback

Pursuivant · #1 03-02-2016, 05:30 PM

Another expanded and corrected OOB, this one for the 7th USAAF and its precursor, the Hawaiian Air Force.

The USHAF was mostly destroyed on the ground during the Pearl Harbor attack. The 7th AF was peripherally involved in the Battle of Midway and later supported the 5th and 13th AF in operations against Japan.

This OOB omits some units which never saw combat.

In regards to train videos, great presentation, as a closert train buff especially in regards to the DR loki's, t's a very welcome refresh, would have liked to see a BR52 (especially the condensing one) in the mix, but happy with what's been done none the less.

.....condensing one? I here you ask.......

By the way, I'm curious why was the Br55 chosen as the representative class of Axis loki ?

swede94 · #3 03-04-2016, 10:24 AM

My goodness, after seeing the train videos I am very happy!

Being a bit of a railway nut, seeing that the coupling rods and motion was animated was just pure joy!

I would guess it might have something to with the age of the locomotive type, something that would fit the earliest scenarios in IL-2 that still saw use throughout the war. Where as something like the Kriegslok/DRB Class 52 didn't see service until 1942.

If one were to make a suggestion for the future..

I think adding in a British loco set would be nice too. Something that could be used as the allied loco type on the new Tobruk map as an example (or indeed, any other western front map). The type of locomotive best suited would probably be a Stanier 8F (first introduced in 1935) that was used quite a bit by the War Department early on before being replaced by the WD Austerity 2-8-0 (which was first introduced in 1943).

Actually the vast majority of the DR rolling stock dated from the 20's and 30's and in some cases from before WWI, much of it being incorporated from the multitude of the pre-nationalised railways companies and authorities that existed across Germany, like the Prussian State Railways. But it's true the modern types like the BR52, 44, 01 hail from the late 30's and early 40's.

During WWII the DR also acquired extra stock from the occupied territories, much of it purchased originally from Germany or built under licence pre-war (including polish, etc versions of the BR55).

The BR 55 (G8.1) was used for heavy freight due to it's relatively heavy weight and to a lesser extent for some passenger services on main lines. But I can think of quite a few other types that have similar spec's from the same period and available in similar or even greater numbers. So I was just intrigued to here from the creator(s) why the they picked the BR55.

swede94 · #5 03-04-2016, 12:22 PM

Ah, fair enough. I'll admit German locomotives/locomotive usage isn't my strongest side of things.

stugumby · #6 03-04-2016, 02:02 PM

So, it appears we are about to recieve totally reworked trains with newly added in armored trains, and ships have also had their mutli directional fire capability as well as rate of fire for each tube. wow, ship attacks now will be harder than ever.
Also that same person on you tube has a take off video of a PO-2? Will this be flyable in 413.1?

Tolwyn · #7 03-04-2016, 02:04 PM

Very good presentation.

So... since we can have lights on moving chiefs...

*cough* night-carrier ops *cough*; however, they'd have to be different objects of course, because sometimes you would NOT want lights on a carrier.

But still.

Very cool.

Pursuivant · #8 03-04-2016, 02:42 PM

While beggars can't be choosers, if we get new objects it would be nice if each nation had a distinctive pattern to its ground vehicles - as an aid to mission builders and strafers.

For example, British CMP pattern truck - very distinctive.

+1 for the amazing work on the new train models. Not only do they look great, but the ability to have moving parts on ground objects opens up a host of possibilities, like flags that wave, windsocks that move with the wind, or possibly even Landing Signals Officers on carriers.

76.IAP-Blackbird · #9 03-04-2016, 03:26 PM

Wow, absolutly great detail on the wheels and moving parts, very nice animations!

Guys you outdo yourself with each update!!!!!!

Thanks alot for keeping this sim so alive!

Spudkopf · #10 03-05-2016, 05:49 AM

.....all we need now is Train in the Target drop down option in QMB, it would be great to have dedicated train busting missions for both Axis and Allied sides.

Or maybe just have more trains populating the maps when Bridge is selectected as the target.
