Really looking forward to P-39Q, the 189 and the "big bois"

[sandmarken]

B-25 and B-26 are already present as AI, and the screenshot at the roadmap (present in Il-2's discord for example) shows a WIP B-26 cockpit

The Finnish team is working on the model for two of those, which is why the checkmarks are there. All of these planes will come to the game if a third party finishes the model.

There is no point in asking 1CGS about it, since they will only get involved if the models are done.

The bomber is B-26 Marauder!

 

Btw.

Any one of those is more worthy than the FW 189.

Really shaking my head at that one.

[RedPanda]

P-47M, my dream come true...

[Reisen]

Very excited for a new P-39 and the B-26!

Absolutely. I’d given up hope we’d ever see her.

It's the other way around for whoever models it. Mind you, with 3rd party contractors we're already deep into passion projects territory, i.e. making what one really really likes and not what sells better.

We will get B-26, B-25, and A-20G, three allied bombers, we can see B-25 nose inside on concept screenshot, and B-26 cocpit, A-20G was confirmed too. What's more, the B-25 and A-20G will be playable on both the Western Allies and the Russian side!. I am very happy about this news, because I am an enthusiast of these bombers, and I will definitely buy early access.

Where did Enigma get that list of bombers ?  Any off info ? And rly i cant understand why people is so happy about fw189…. most useless plane, no speed, no alt, no gunnery, no bombs (4x50 ist to poor)

[robzerg]

This is looking really good! The new bombers for GB will be a welcome addition, and the gameplay video of Korea looks great - I particularly note the landscape and graphics are looking great, much better than some of the early screenshots in the developer diaries/news! Exciting stuff - can't wait till early access (for both)!

Enigma provided a list of aircraft in his video, which was confirmed on the official Discord by the developers themselves. So yes, we'll get the A-20G, B-25, and B-26.

As for the Fw-189? Well, I think it stems from a strange fact. I remember how, at the beginning of the Bodenplatte module, anyone who wrote anything about B-25, or A-20G, was ridiculed, and the need for more German aircraft was far more important than anything else. So I think the happiness for the Fw-189 stems from this: it doesn't matter what kind of plane it is, as long as it's German, it's good.
