Yep. That's the one.

There's a lovely documentary on 303 squadron here:

Over time, the "bloody foreigners" in the RAF learned more English, if only to help them buy beer and meet English women, but I'm sure that the temptation to revert to native language in emergencies must have been huge.

For the RAAF, things might have been a bit different, since some of the RAAF (NEI) squadrons only had Dutch pilots, but Australian gunners and ground crew! I'd think that there's much more incentive to learn the language if you need to make yourself understood to your crew and mechanics. (That, and the Dutch seem to have a genius for learning other people's languages. ).

Getting historical voice packs for the RAF and RAAF foreign squadrons would be a real challenge, and I'm not sure IL2 is up to it.

You'd need to add South African, Canadian, Rhodesian, and even Caribbean-accented English to the existing UK, Australian and New Zealand voice packs to represent all the Commonwealth nations, plus Accented/Bad English packs with American, Czech, Dutch, French, Greek, Irish, Norwegian, and Polish accents to represent foreigners who flew with the RAF!

Hello TD.

What a great job with the latest ground units. Some of them were very outdated, as the BT and KV tanks; as well as new variants, that are always welcome. About the trains, just one word: marvelous.

And as a source, in case you don't know it, try this website: www.o5m6.de Lots of Soviet and Lend-Lease vehicles profiles, including AFVs, trucks, ships and, of course trains. Hope it helps.

Keep up the good job. Best regards,

batistadk

Not so outdated for Spanish Civil War, Sino-Japanese War/Nohomon, Winter War, and early war scenarios.

This is an excellent site. In particular, it's good for "soft" vehicles, like Artillery Tractors (hint, hint!)

Its sister site, for the Germans and Italians (a few Western allied vehicles) is also excellent:

I mean, outdated in-game models. I hope we get some axis vehicles treat too.

Towed artillery, is it possible to include these as either static or moving vehicles?
