You guys have gotten pretty far off the topic of Munchen/Siege campaigns here, maybe your discussion should be in a different thread.

Yep, off-topic posts have been moved elsewhere. 

Keep on-topic, guys, please. 🙂

Great job on the I-153 missions. There hasn't been a mission yet where I haven't come back with bullet holes and/or oil all over the windscreen. 😎

[Jaegermeister]

Yeah, it’s a tough little plane, and the ground fire is certainly challenging. Fortunately it’s usually not far to base.

I really like the I-153, it is reasonably fast, turns on a dime and has a good selection of loadouts. You can really get down low and see exactly what you are shooting at

It would be great if the briefing indicated your position in the formation.
The AI in this game is terrible; If you take a wrong position after taxing, it will simply crash into you from behind 🤪

Close to finishing up "Under Siege" here. Great work, as always. 👍

If I may make a few small suggestions: 

• Though it wouldn't affect the player, it would be nice to see the AI Yak-1 and I-153 flight leaders equipped with a radio. If nothing else, it would help the player locate his flight leader.
• A few missions with the engine mods would be nice to mix in. Historically, about 150 I-153s were fitted with the M63 engine, and, according to VikS, the M-105PA engine was fitted to the Yak-1 from August 1941 (IIRC I have the latter set to be the default engine from late August / September 1941 in Odessa's career mode). (Or, even better, have these engine mods also mixed into AI planes both here and in the accompanying München campaign).

[Jaegermeister]

Yes, I can make those additions. I didn’t put radios in the I-153s since only the flight leaders had transmitters. The flight pilots did have receivers, but I was picturing them all announcing their take off and landings, which would be a little odd. I will add it in when you are in the lead plane at least. I will also add in a note about what your position in formation is for Under Siege since those 2 subjects coincide.

i will look at the engine mods too. I remember reading about that, but completely forgot to see how it applied to these Black Sea Fleet planes.

Edit, I just did a quick AI inquiry and it looks like the Yak-1s in Odessa should indeed have the M-105PA engine upgrade.

In mission 11 of Under Siege the immortals Bf 109 still exist.

Yeah, that's annoying. I specifically remember looking at that mission too. I must not have saved the changes correctly. Now that Luke has given me more corrections to make, I will get that in the next update.

I've been out of town for a couple of weeks. I'll get to it.

I've just finished Operation Munchen campaign. This was really excellent and interesting campaign. The only thing I was a little bit dissapointed was that I had been hoping for some clashes with new Lagg-3s.4 and Yak-1s.23. Instead there were mainly I-16 we had been fighting for last 10 years in Il-2GB.

Nonetheless it is great campaign and I'm looking forward to more with Bf109E-4 (and more Jabo missions).
