Vendigo Posted March 3 Posted March 3 ...and how about this planeset, is there hope of ever getting these birds: Spoiler 5 2 Quote

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. 1 Quote
YoYo Posted March 3 Posted March 3 The bomber is B-26 Marauder! Btw. 2 Quote Webmaster of yoyosims.pl. VR flying only.

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. 2 Quote

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. 1 1 Quote
faint Posted March 4 Posted March 4 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) 1 1 Quote
robzerg Posted March 4 Posted March 4 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)! 1 Quote

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) 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. Edited March 4 by Bajzon20 1 Quote
FAW_Tromplamort Posted March 4 Posted March 4 I would have hoped for a Ju-88G and lets dream a Ju188... But the FW189 would be a nice addition to the plane set along with the A20G, the B25 and the B26. 3 Quote
MDzmitry Posted March 4 Posted March 4 I think Fw 189 fills the same niche as U-2. A nice, comfortable plane with its own interesting history and a plethora of applications, primarily those devoid of direct confrontation. I personally like it, as it'll give us another interesting airframe that was rather infamous at the Eastern front. 6 Quote
007 Posted March 4 Posted March 4 Really looking forward to having these player controllable bombers in IL2 Great Battles! I hope to see future IL2 Korea DLC add player controllable bombers to that game also. While on the subject, a DLC that adds a player controllable Zeppelin for the Flying Circus element of IL-2 Great Battles would be appreciated too! 1 Quote
