If the pc game is an indication then I would put money on that theres more bf109 models, as a mate jokingly said, IL2 Sturmovik: 1946 should be called Messersmith 109: 1946.

As a dedicated 109 pilot I'm not complaining.

You want a plane to be put in the game just so you can shoot it down? Okay, in that case I want the B24, B25, B26, Lancaster, Mosquito, more versions of the P51 and P47..........

Well don't we all want a plane to be put in just so we can shoot it down? I mean it would be fun to fly also, but I'm not a big Rumanian WW2 fighter buff like I am with others. And I totally agree that a Lancaster, and Mosquito should be put in BoP. :d

True, just because I've never seriously flown at least half the planes in Il2 1946 doesn't mean I don't appreciate their availability as targets.

I just think that it would be interesting to have more diverse planes of nations. I know you need the classics, but maybe some unknown or not very well known planes would be interesting to fly. But I know what your saying.

You think that the mossie was easy to shoot down?

The germans were so annoyed by it they started to design a plane to specifically catch the mossie because no other planes could - the Heinkel HE 219.

Mossie=best plane of WW2 becasue of its speed and versitility

Its good, and it will give most mid and even some late war fighters a challenge just catching it, but when you can have a Bf109 with 50mph more top speed than a Mosquito the catching bit is considerably less of a problem.

Not that I want to detract from its WWII record, and its huge versatility and success in the fighter-bomber, bomber, night fighter and shipping strike roles, but against a faster single engined fighter the Mosquito just can't cut it.

That's why you need a Yak-3! Maybe a Yak-9 to deal with the higher altitude fighters (Me-109s).

Better, but still 35mph slower and about 1000ft per min worse off in climb rate than a 109K.
