As far as I am informed it's not planned,simply because this will require additional programing and recording new voice commands and/or announcements for the artificial intellect and we don't have time for this,yet.
This aircraft (the G-4) will be (in my opinion) the first aircraft in IL-2 that will require to be flown be three human players,that will have to work as a team.
The pilot will fly the plane,the Bordfunker (Radar Operator) will watch the radar and outside and the rear gunner will act not only as gunner but as spotter as well.
It won't be an arcade plane,and not anyone will be able to jump in it and fly it.It will need serious studying in order to get used to it,and fly it properly.

Excellent news!

Hello Bulgarian, excellent news indeed and good responses.

SImple question about the Bf110G4. Will the Schräge canons be included as a weapon of the aircraft and if yes, how do you plan to aim with it ?

Of course!It's like having a dog without it's bone.

Silly really.

You misunderstood.The G-4 will be flyable in all positions in dog.fight server like all multicrew aircraft that we have until now.But it won't be usable.Because i don't think that you can shoot at a fighter,while you're monitoring the Radar,or if you are shooting at something with the rear gunner.
It's a tactical aircraft,and not turn&burn style thingy.
And unfortunately,most dog.fight servers already are turn and burn style.

It would be great if the night textures were made much darker than the blueish tinted night time we have at the moment.

It already have been done.But i forgot was it going to be for 4.09 or the next patch.
About the darker night,it already have been done.But again i forgot for which patch it was.Of course if you have a clear moon sky,don't think that it will be dark.
Also our "Fix list" is quite big,and i don't know what is for fixing,but there are a lot of things.You'll see when the time comes.But the fix list is not containing "fixes" for the flight models of any existing aircraft ingame.

@Bearcat,this might be considered but i cannot give any promises about it now.

There lots of us coop pilots you know

But I see it as a squadron based aircraft everyone on comms on a squad operation, if they made the rest of the bombers like this it would be more fun, bombardier, pilot, radios, gunner etc, but it must make sense to have this aircraft selectable for multi crewed and single.

[ElAurens]

Let me clairify...

It's silly that we still don't have multiple crewed aircraft in DF mode.



I fully understand about coops. The addition of radar will be a boon to that area of play.

1. That's fixed in SoW with AI in DF mode also, yippee

Is it possible for TD team to let us mere mortals know what's on their "fix it" list please

ElAurens,

About human multi-crew aircraft in join-in-progress dogfight mode ..

think .. you'd have to sync the players into the aircraft before hitting "fly"

likely technically possible, but how might that work in the interface ?

1. Players would need to select same base on brief screen.
2. Players would need to select same aircraft and probably all same features on arming screen
3. I think then, you would need a new button on arming screen, perhaps labeled "Seats", which would turn green when 2 or more players had selected correctly .. when you then hit that button
4. It takes you to new screen naming aircraft selected with list of pilots similar to coop aircraft selection screen, but only the one plane selected and showing only players that had selected the plane, then you ready up in same manner as in coop.
5. Then the players hit "Fly" from that screen, become synced together in the aircraft and join-in-progress together.

Would be nice feature, but significant reprograming involved, new interface screen design.

So.. it's not just 'silly' we don't have human multi-crew for dogfight / join-in-progress mode, it would require some new things to implement.
