If you could have 1 WW2 attack plane module, what would it be?

I sign that one. I just love the sleek looks of it and it would be possible to use for Korea and Vietnam as well if we ever get maps for them...

 

Not many planes that where used in WWII, Korea and Vietnam out there.

I agree with xvii-Dietrich and so would like to see the Avro Lancaster. As one WW2 Lanc pilot told me some years ago, ‘It was like a four engined fighter’.

I saw Vera fly yesterday (the Lancaster flying in Canada). I was really surprised about the takeoff distance... Sure - it only had a bunch of happy passengers and the crew to lift but it felt like she just rolled a couple of hundred meters before she was airborne. And what a magnificent sound when starting all four Merlins and doing full power tests outside the hangar :)

 

I would pay quite a lot for a Lancaster with a fully simulated Vickers type 464 (the bouncing bomb).

 

A B-17 to compliment it for daytime bombing would be nice as well ;)

 

Too bad the 4-engine babies are so much work to implement in a simulator.

Besides the P-47 and Mosquito, Id say the Tempest (or Typhoon).

- Jack of many DCS modules, master of none.

- Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS.

Anything with a Napier Sabre , So Tempest/Typhoon or even a Wellington , come on kermit and hurry up with those engine rebuilds I want to hear one before I die of old age.

Check out his latest video

 

Apparently they are on hold, one of his engineers retired and weeks is concentrating on the step of flight of fantasy :(

 

Our best luck is RB396 which is going for a flight in 2024

The Stirling ( which I don't want, thanks! ) was supposedly able to outturn some fighters at altitude... not a great plane otherwise though. I think we're limited to two engines currently, so a Pe-2 would be an interesting comparison with the Mossie & a Ju-88 if we ever got a flyable. The ones I've tried elsewhere have been pretty fun. Would still take a Tempest though :p

 

I did actually think about an IL-2, that'd be awesome, but the resulting firestorm might not be worth it :P

Oh yeah. Would love a DCS Peshka myself. Lots of hair-raising memories of divebombing in one in another sim long time ago...

The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

Debating what torpedo dropper I'd like to see right now - tossup between the Beaufighter X and the Swordfish :) did the Russians have indigenous torpedo bombers? do any still exist if so?

 

Also, is the Swordfish the only biplane to carry radar? ( they were fitted with ASV radar to hunt subs ). In addition, apparently sunk more tonnage than any other allied aircraft ( including the Avenger )

 

Incidentally we're limited to 8 engines, which is a few more options...
