The design has not changed much over the last 70years Russians were still using them in Afghanistan in an anti personnel role.

Interesting the IL-2 had mechanical indicators on the wings like the Spitfires to let you know if the landing gear was up or down.

     Some habits die hard, the Mig-15 had barber pole indicators for the gear poking out of the top of the wing too  :D

The A6M-2 also had mechanical indicators although they dont have them in the game. I have had experience around an original A6M-2 that was at a Transportation museum that I volunteer at. The original sakie engines are almost impossible to find parts for. This had a P&W 1830. Beautiful plane though...

1 seat V's 2 seat not drastic enough for you?

Different engines,different ord packages depending on time frame.

Early war arena compatible,better rear views due to no armour,or light armour depending on time frame.

IL-10 is a huge change than our current IL-2.

+1 Well researched and interesting~ I feel your pain, want a D-15 through D-23 Jug, should be easy as pie to do. Doesn't' require major alteration of the existing model, but it seems like it is more likely we will end up with a Piper L-4 before either of us get gratified lol.
