    That was one of your smoothest landings. You, and ROF,got me into you tube. I've always been fascinated by WWI avaition.
    ROF led me to you. Been a fan ever since. I miss the vids.
    I enjoyed your Atlantic Fleet campaigns, both sides.

    Love missions like this. The more obscure the aircraft, the better. Any chance of seeing Italian single seat flying boat fighters like the Macchi M.5 vs. Austrian floatplane fighters?

    • @5peciesunkn0wn
      @5peciesunkn0wn Год назад +1

      Sadly Rise of Flight doesn't have any italian planes to my knowledge. But I hope that Flying Circus (the IL-2 Great Battles engine version of this game) will include an even wider variety of planes.

      @@5peciesunkn0wn Unlikely. IL-2 v3 (Great Battles) has been focussing on a few flyable planes, though pretty representative in width.
      IL-2 v1 (combined into IL-2 1946) had a wide variety of planes, including a number of “speculative” ones … like Heinkel’s circular wing VTOLs and their guided AA missiles.

      a) I know
      b) if it is its own thing, that dogfight is not possible. FC only adds a few planes and maps.
      c) none of that negates the claim that IL-2 v3 is few planes (or tanks, for that matter) that are well modelled, rather than many planes that are rougher around the edges. I do not see them changing that model any time soon as it has served them well.

That first Hun is going to sink on landing! Excellent Cin and Demo. Timely video; As the British in HOI4, I'm going to visit the Kriegsmarine September '39 with a mixed force of Wellingtons and Sunderlands, because the Square heads won't come out to play. Hope nothing goes wrong. ;-)
