How's the weapon selection?

Is it like Il-2 where you have to take a pre-made combo, or is it like Lock On, where you choose the weapons yourself for each station?

 

And small bombs? Are they like in Il-2 where you see the air filled with small bombs, but when they hit hte ground, they explode at a certain distance from each other? (really didn't like them on the Il-2 plane :()

internal cockpit damage model is very good so far check screen

 

The graphics of this game are really state of art, but someone has to say it: if you have those bullet holes in the front window you are long not able to pilot.

these birds could take massive damage.

 

wiki site .....ww2...story on how the il2 was tuff as old leather boots.

................

 

Thanks to the heavy armor protection, an Il-2 could take a great deal of punishment and proved difficult for both ground and aircraft fire to down. One Il-2 in particular was reported to have returned safely to base despite receiving more than 600 direct shell hits and having all its control surfaces completely shredded as well as numerous holes in its main armor and other structural damage. Some pilots favored aiming down into the cockpit and wing roots in diving attacks on the slow, low-flying Il-2 formations.[15] Several Luftwaffe aces claimed to attack while climbing from behind, out of view of the rear gunner, and aim for the Il-2's non-retractable oil cooler. The veracity of this has been disputed by some Il-2 pilots in postwar interviews, since Il-2s typically flew very close to the ground (cruise altitudes below 50 m (160 ft) were common) and the radiator protruded a mere 10 cm (4 in) from the aircraft. A major threat to the Il-2 was German ground fire. In postwar interviews, Il-2 pilots reported 20 mm (0.79 in) and 37 mm (1.46 in) artillery as the primary threat. While the fabled 88mm (3.46 in) calibre gun was formidable, low-flying Il-2s presented too fast-moving a target for the 88's relatively low rate of fire and while occasional hits were scored, Soviet pilots apparently did not treat the "88" gun with the same respect as high-altitude Western heavy bomber crews.

Yes, these birds could take some titanic damage and still fly. BUT... I'm not so sure about the human body's resistance to .50 bullets. As the chap put there, YOU aren't able to pilot. The plane could still go on until it ran out of fuel or hit a mountain, but if you get in the path of a 20mm shell, I don't think you can do much about it, anyway... :music_whistling:

problem with making videos , as the dev team are still implementing more camera angles.

 

only external spot views for now. no flybys or free roam , or locking of ground targets the now.

 

this is all still to be fixed and implemented at a later date.

 

 

good news is they just fixed a big audio bug that was a real pain in the rear for some including me.

 

..all seams good so far. as i said before in time they will get to it.
