Improvements to IL-2 GBs that you would like to see?

[Enceladus828]

I'll start off by acknowledging that there are a number of things that will never be in IL-2 GBs such as Drop Tanks, requesting help from your wingmen and being informed by them of incoming enemy planes, and parachuting into (most) bodies of water not being fatal. These require major work that is not worth doing since such work was done in the Korea engine. And unless a team of dedicated and qualified 3d modellers decides to make the B-25 or B-26 flyable or add an AI heavy bomber like the B-17 or B-24 then at best those are unlikely to happen.

However, there are some things that could be improved upon so I'll list them:

1. AI planes have very precise onboard radar and or real-time tracking of you. I'll limit it to this. Even when you are miles away and all of your wingmen have been shot down they will relentlessly swarm on you. Even if you are 100 feet above the water, planes at 8,000 feet will abandon whatever their mission was to shoot you down.

2. Pilots and crews need to sustain more energy during ground collisions: Yes this isn't a crash physics simulator it's just that if your wingtip clips a pole at 80km/h everybody is killed instantly during the subsequent ground loop and the only damage sustained to the aircraft are broken flap rods. I even taxied a Pe-2 into a revetment at 30 km/h and everyone including the rear gunner who would have sustained the least amount of energy was killed. It makes no sense to make wings easily snap off or create accurate damage models for ground objects such as trees and buildings but what can happen is that the pilot and crews are able to sustain more energy to take into consideration of virtually indestructible trees and other ground objects. I mean, Unteroffizier Heinrich Rosner of the Sonderkommando "Elbe" unit sliced off the cockpit of a B-24 with his Bf-109 and then slammed into another B-24 and survived the whole thing. 

Thank you

Locked. You've made these requests many times over the years, and I'm sorry, but at this point, GB is essentially feature-complete, save for the new maps and planes being made.
