4-12 wish list (Merged)

[maxim42]

Hmmm, what about Arado Ar-196? There is lack of flyable hydroplanes in il-2 1946 and the plane I've just mentioned would be good choice to make it flyable. It doesn't have any internal view but the external model is pretty nice so making the cockpit would be, in my opinion, good idea.

G’day maxim42

As much as I’d also love to see the Ar-196 flyable in the sim as it is one of my sentimental favourites, it’s a simple but sad fact that the current mission set does not readily cater well to it or many of the other non-flyable recon types, sure it was armed with a 20mm cannon in each of the wings and a 7.9mm MG in the lower cowl, but these appear to be more or less ineffective against even the smallest water craft within the sim, at least this has been my experience as I’ve strafed and emptied magazines into enough of them on numerous occasions to no avail, however the ability to carry a 50kg bomb under each wing may be the only saving grace as these would be little more effective on such targets.

Unfortunately unless or until the vulnerability of these smaller class of vessels is reduced, something that I’d like to add to the wish list by the way, then the only realistic option available to this plane is for it to continue being available only as target fodder

Could this be changed so that if you are on a Desert or Winter map you would see the object in the Desert or Winter skin, as appropriate?

This only affects the drop down viewer. The object appears ok if you zoom into the map.

You think for better show how is present current texture on model in viewer?
Due work on ground units objects? Don´t forgot that DT do not open interface for mods, for "public" it´s not open possibilty create skins for ground units and look how present winter skin on tank.

But I understand: you need any mod tool IL2 model viewer

[Bearcat]

Might it be possible to incorporate skins in the model viewer for a given AC or skinnable object? That way we could look at new skins without having to launch a mission.

For me, it's rather the update of missing or incorrect loadouts.
It concerns as well the playable aircrafts as the AI.
These modifications do not ask for big works.

(here are some proofs for : Fw190D9, Hurricane Field Mod, FM-2, Ki-43, P-51D, Spitfire Mk Vb & Vc, P-400 & P-39N, B5N2)

Panzerschrek rocket loadout for FW190F8, The Luftwaffe seem lacking in this area

[gaunt1]

You mean the Panzerblitz? Panzerschreck was a shoulder launched AT rocket.

Panzerschrek was also used as stop-gap measure before the Panzerblitz came into service, but it was very difficult to use with proficence beacuse it had to be launched from close distance from the target.

[kennel]

I mean Panzerblitz rockets, I stand corrected
