IL-2 was left out.

[lyric1]

I noticed with the recent updates certain aircraft have added several model variants. For example A6M,P40 of late how ever the IL-2 was updated & no other models were added. 

So I propose we add the single seat IL-2.



Why?


Well it qualifies for early war can't get enough variation in that arena & also for early war scenarios instead of the two seat version.

The variation of ordnance & guns that were used are just about equal & in some instances superior to the 2 seat version depending on time frame. As an example the ability to carry 16 rockets & also rear facing rockets just to name a few.

The best part is the rear view the early versions had very little armour on the canopy so the pilot has a much better rear view than it's two seated sister. A nice feature since the removal of F3 mode. The rear gun on that was about useless any way would rather have a window with a view my self

While on the two seat version the inclusion of a torpedo to the ord load out would be nice. I can't find a lot of information on the unit that used the IL-2T that had the torpedo I am still looking. Some of the bomb loads could be more varied & might be worth adding upon our current aircraft.

May as well go for broke & throw in the IL-10 better handling aircraft had some unusual ord packages such as air grenades.

If nothing else I think the single seat IL-2 would be the aircraft to add of this model. Better views from the cockpit since no more F3 mode lots of rockets fills in the early war set & scenarios.

It will be hard to find info of Russia AC in the war.  +1

You know, there are more German aircraft that British aircraft.  Somehow you neglect to mention that.

Your bias is showing.


The fact is that the air war between the USAAF/RAF vs the Luftwaffe is both more famous in Aces High's primary markets and the data for American, British and German aircraft is easier to obtain.

Despite that, the last two years has see more Japanese aircraft added than British or German aircraft.  The recent focus has been on ground vehicles and has been dominated by American and German units.

Maybe you should move to Germany, learn to speak Deutche, and play a flight sim with a heavy Luftwaffe bias instead.

     Think he's waiting for the great WW2 Italian sim instead Joe

it is true tho.... what alpini said

As demonstrated, no it isn't.

It is perhaps true if you add "German" into the claim, but his bias doesn't allow him to do that.

The reason is, as stated, likely significantly based on the difficulty of getting data for Russian, Japanese and Italian aircraft.  I remember back in AH1 Pyro asking for interior photos of the gunner positions for the Tu-2 because they couldn't find any.  I guessed at the time that they were not able to get any, hence no Tu-2.

Some reading literature.

Ignorance is bliss.  

US, UK, DE, and JP all have aircraft with 3+ variants of the same aircraft.  Yes, the US is very well represented but that doesn't mean that HTC over-looks the other nations.  Seriously, stop and think about that kind of stuff before you post.
