 After so many years, I'm content and pacified with what we have. It is what it is and it's up to us to make the best use of what is available... And my Do 335 is still faster than La-7 !

Indeed, I remember the "Russian planes are over modeled" days. It's not shooting them down that is the true test, (that is hard to do no matter what plane when you have F6 (external padlock)), it's being able to get in a position to do that, or get out of a situation where your opponent is able to do that.
As far as online dog fighting goes, the only planes that are competitive are the Spit 109 and Zero (and a few of the other Japanese planes). The American planes are made to fly straight and fast with a wing man to pick off a plane turning too tight for the lead pilot to follow. Over whelming numerical superiority is needed, and more importantly cooperation. And the 50cals don't tear things apart like we see in Guncamera footage. I got 18 hits on a NiK2 recently in that F6F late, and all it did was leak fuel. It also took me 10 minutes to get to 3500m, From the east end of Hawaii map to the west end mountain range, and the entire climb was at 260-270km/ph, a sitting duck all the way up. The F4F is a better competitor with planes from it's era than the F6F is with it's class. The Do335 is becoming popular on the one map it is available, great view from pit, massive guns, and a 1000lb bomb if you want to do a little mission. It may be faster that anything else, but it's can't turn with anything (except maybe a 262). Cheers! Last edited by Music; 09-03-2019 at 01:05 AM. Reason: Do335

Happy New Year!
As we begin the new year I’ll be thankful again for anything received in the next patch for this great game, as we know it is still a work-in-progress!
 But I think it's still important for us to share our wishlists for the future of IL-2:1946 here in the official 1C: Daidalos Team forum, so I dug up this old thread and I'm re-posting a copy of my Daidalos Team wishlist that I posted in the Mission4Today forums last November. My latest wishes are: • For the flight model of Hellcats to be reviewed. According to Baball, their lift coefficient was screwed in patch 4.11 causing excess drag and performance loss, and they certainly seem to be under-performing to me and others. • More Western European and Pacific Theatre aircraft and maps (and more talented FMB users to volunteer to help populate the maps; contact me or _1SMV_Gitano if you want to help). • A flyable Spitfire Mk.XIV. • To fix the Destruction Brush bug in FMB where the amount of destruction is randomly increased when saved.

I agree, more maps please. Particularly Philippines and Poland.
I concur with the need to address the Hellcat. It sucks to not be able to fly it satisfactorily. New flyable planes are always welcome. I really would live to see the B-26 in particular, as well as the PZL 23 Karas and the PZL 37 Los. I also noticed that the KI 44 iand Mavis flying boat are not represented in the game which surprised me. I would definitely love to have a Greece nation with speechpack and maps. I could name other planes but those are my most desired. I am just so grateful for this simulator that encompasses just about every theater of the war. I have devoured all things WWII aviation since I was a kid. This game is my dream come true! I truly appreciate the continued patches produced by the Diadalos team. Bless you and all your hard work!
