Uhh doesn't the IL-2 already gots 2 x 37mm?
I'd like some bombs on the 205 please, at least a 250lber as it had provisions for it.

[Tac]

P-38L:

2k bomb loadout
FIX the dive flaps (I guess pyro didnt get my 5 meg e-mail on it *sigh*)
DISABLE the auto-flap retract (or put it as a toggable feature, like combat trim). There is nothing more annoying than the flaps pulling you into a spin in the middle of a fight because they retracted on their own (a spin which should not happen in the 1st place anyway!). I'd rather have my flaps RIPPED OFF than have them get me killed...at least I can still fight with my flaps ripped out.

Global (affects all planes) : Improve damage model. Right now things either are untouched or blown out. How about an in-between?

[brady]

I am prety shure that no P 38 saw action that was capable of carying a 2x 2000 lb bomb load out. I looked through several of my book's 2 p 38 book's and America's 100,000 and others and they said that they all could cary 2 1,600lb bomb's but I found no evenence of a 1,600lb bomb in the US inventory(any proof other wise would help). Aparentaly the model that could cary the 2x 2,000lb bombs never saw combat.

  Cluster munitions for everybody would be nice though

 And the rest of your list as well.

[GRUNHERZ]

Karnak the 190F8 carried at least twice the  3 55mm rockets you ask for under the wing. They had racks of 6 or 8 under each wing.

[Kweassa]

I'm all for "DISABLE AUTOMATIC FLAP RETRACTION"..

 Flap management is also an important issue included in the big picture of managing the plane itself..

 Please.. disable the autoamtic flap retraction..

[Karnak]

pdog_109,

No, the Il-2 has 2 23mm cannon.

brady,

I assumed because it is so often requested that it was true.  At least one of my books states that as well, but its not a very good book.

GRUNHERZ,

That was based on one of Wotan's posts in an earlier thread about the F-8.  His post stated that it could carry 6.  I'm all for giving it however many it could carry.

All,

Yes, removing the auto flap retraction seems like a good idea.  We don't have auto gear retraction after all.

[Naudet]

Karnak, all nice ideas.

But there is a little fault with the F8.

I bought a book this week, and there a east front FW190 Jabo pilot stated:

"We could either take 24 R4M Rockets or 14 55mm Panzerschreck Rockets with us."

Both use a wooden Zero lenght starting rail under each wing.

Btw notice he also speaks of the 55mm Rockets (that ur AP 55mm rocket Karnak) as Panzerschreck. From what the picks show it seem to me like a modified R4M.

And to all that state this was just a rarely used option.

This pilot was out of a So called Panzerjagdgruppe. The had a (Pz) after the roman I, II or III. to indicate that they were specialized in "PanzerKnacken" (Tankbusting) and used rocket for it.

Bombs for the Macchi's!

I myself wondered about the "Auto-flap-retraction", to be honest, I figured since it was modelled it was a real feature on WWII aircraft that HT was sticking to. I based that on the level of realism that seems to be present. Don't laugh, I don't claim to know a lot about AC of that era, and I'm not a pilot. It did seem real to me atleast. I would think if they didn't have "Auto-flap" we shouldn't either, seems to me an insignificant game consession. just my 2cents though.

[BenDover]

incendiary bombs,nuff said

[-ammo-]

wow Karnak, you didnt ask for the spit9 to be fixed? I figured that would be at the top of your list Would be at mine. Personally, I would like to see a LF, or a Spit XIII. In the current one, delete the .50 cal option altogether.

La7
1)Add slat graphics
2)Lower the full flap level stall speed by 20 mph
3)Increase the rate of departure at the lower speed
4)Correct the rear armoured glass frame

The 192 mini bombs used regularlyon the IL2M3 would be very neat and may bring it back to greater arena use. they were dropped from a 100 metres and could cover an area som 70 m x 15 metres.

1st used at Kursk the Pilots of 291 SHAP destroyed 15 enemy tanks with 6 aircraft in one mission. Within 5 days the 291st had (claims for) destroyed or damaged 422 enemy tanks.

[Tac]

P-38s did carry 2X2k bombs into combat. Usually taking the low MG+Cannon ammo load. I'll try and get you a pic of a 38 with 2k bombs before a mission.

[F4UDOA]

Err,

The F4U and F6F had "blow up flaps" so don't fix those. I'll check and see if the P-38 had the same.
