    Update 4.506

    Dear friends,

    Today our team presents you the first IL-2 Great Battles update in 2021, 4.506. The main feature of this update is the Fw 190 A-6 fighter/bomber developed for the Battle of Normandy. The Normandy map is in development, but you can already fly the new aircraft in Rheineland Career mode, provided you have both Battle of Normandy and Bodenplatte. You can also encounter the new A-6 as an enemy in the recent Wind of Fury campaign and anyone can set it up as an AI in quick missions.

    In addition to the new arrival, there is a significant number of other changes and improvements. The updated graphical effects are included (the ones that are ready), Chiawei =Oyster_KAI= Liang continued his work on the 4K texturing of many planes cockpits and Martin =ICDP= Catney created 4K external textures for Bf 109 E-7 and corrected a number of other aircraft. There are two AI corrections, but they are significant. Among other fixes are ones for aircraft systems, player controllable tanks, including an important one for the gun aiming, and many improvements for historical campaigns.

    We continue our work as always and this Spring you'll see new planes and improvements for the game world.

    Main features

    1. German fighter/bomber Fw 190 A-6 is now available to all Battle of Normandy owners;

    2. Fw 190 A-6 added to Rheinland Career mode (to the 1st and 2nd chapters to joinable squadrons III./JG 11, I./JG 26 and II./JG 26 and to all chapters to AI squadrons III./KG 51 and NSGr. 20);

    3. Bf 109 E-7 got 4K quality external textures;

    4. There are new truck variations (which look exactly like the regular ones) that are loaded with ammo and explode when attacked in a spectacular way;

    Aircraft improvements

    5. AI pilots of fast fighters engage slow-flying targets much better;

    6. AI pilots that are alone or from different groups carry out a landing approach much better - now all the AI pilots form the landing queue, not only the ones that belong to the same group;

    7. MC.202 propeller rotation and twist were corrected;

    8. Yak-9 and Yak-9T elevator is affected at high speeds similar to other Yak fighters;

    9. On all aircraft with set mixture control positions the current position is shown in the technochat instead of the mixture percentage;

    10. UBT MG gunsight scale on IL-2 mod. 1943 has been recentered;

    11. A damaged Fokker D.VII won't visibly disappear at long distances;

    12. Gunsight adjustment (target size and range) using buttons happens faster and their default values are set for a close dogfight against a typical enemy fighter;

    13. German gyro gunsight Ez.42 damping corrected, higher frequency oscillations of the aircraft affect the calculated lead less;

    14. AI pilots fire all 12 Hurricane MGs when installed instead of only 8;

    15. Water vapor effect added to the damaged or overheated Hurricane radiator;

    16. Oil and water drops won't visibly appear on the inside surface of the cockpit canopy on many aircraft;

    17. A number of typos that appeared on Soviet planes after increasing the cockpits to 4K quality were corrected;

    19. Bf 109 F-2 and F-4 wheels corrected;

    20. BG-25 detail increased (Bf 109 G6/G6 Late/G14/K4);

    21. Rocket control panel detail improved on Bf 109 G6 Late and G14;

    22. Fw 190 A-3/A-5/A-8 ammo counters panel detail improved;

    23. Hs 129 B2 cockpit: weathering and scratches on leather objects, weathering of the gunsight parts outside the cockpit, more detailed dimmer switch, revised coloring and updated lettering of gauges and parts to make them more historically correct, alpha layer adjustments;

    24. MiG-3: enhanced textures of braided cables, redrawn placards, alpha layer adjustments;

    25. P-39L: control stick weathering, more detailed radio equipment (MN-52H, BC-345, BC-451) and recognition light switch box, more accurate white aluminum panels and detailed text, enhanced throttle quadrant and fuel prime pump handle, improved gauges and parts lettering, alpha layer adjustments;

    29. Radio and lighting switches are now animated in Fw 190 A-3 and A-5 cockpits;

    Player controllable tank improvements

    30. An option added that amplifies the gun aiming response to the mouse movement. If you play without a visual mouse aim indicator or aim the gun using buttons, it is recommended to leave it at the default setting (0);

    31. Player controllable tanks now correctly collide in multiplayer;

    32. A wrong technochat message about turning on and off the powered turret traverse won't appear while moving across rough terrain at high speed;

    37. Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.M suspension animation corrected;

    Visual effects improvements

    38. New bomb ground and water impact (impact, not explosion) effects;

    41. Improved gunfire effects for the detailed ground vehicles;

    42. APHE explosion effects corrected accordingly to the number of explosives they contain;

  • Es lohnt sich, auch wenn natürlich noch nicht alles gefixt ist und noch Kontent aussteht. Der Spielspaß und die Athmosphäre im Spiel sind für eine Panzersim auf jeden fall unübertroffen. ich habe es nicht bereut bis jetzt.

    VG

  • Ich habe mir den deutschen Flakpanzer geholt vor einiger Zeit, bin sehr gespannt was die gegen die verdammten Tiefflieger ausrichten. Ich gebe allerdings zu das ich mich auch ein wenig abgezockt fühle. Aber besser 19.95 als nachher 24.99 da ich mich kenne und es eh gemacht hätte

  • Update scheint auch in den Startlöchern zu sein...?

    Steam:

    Dear Friends,


    As 2022 draws to a close, we are completing our work on bringing the AI objects to the Normandy project that we previously promised. The first one is the Fighter Direction Tender. FDT are radar surveillance and control ships. They were actively used during the Normandy Landing in 1944 to coordinate the actions of Allied aviation and provide radar cover for the landing zones. We created three ships, FDT-13, FDT-216, FDT-217, based on the LST class dock landing ships, which bore the same hull numbers before modernization. Their modernization was carried out on the shipyards of the west coast of Scotland, away from the active enemy forces. During the modernization, various radio communication, electronic interception, and radar antenna equipment were installed on the upper decks of the ships, including two powerful Type 15 GCI and Type 11 radars. These ships played a prominent role in the events of D-Day.


    5ac58f62399fdb84afe987a1fa819d63ef9b725e.png


    The second AI object is a German eight-wheeled armored car Sd.Kfz. 234/2 Puma. This “slash-two” modification was the second by numbers among all the Pumas produced during the war: 101 out of 478 vehicles. This modification took part in the events of 1944, which the Battle for Normandy project tells about. It is a variant armed with the 50mm KwK-39 cannon (similar to the one used on later modifications of the Pz.Kpfw. III tanks), located, unlike later modifications with a 75mm cannon, in a fully enclosed and armored rotating turret. The car is notable for quite good frontal armor of the hull and turret (up to 30mm), as well as its unique chassis, which is worth mentioning by itself. The chassis is built based on an independent levered suspension of all 8 wheels and their coupled wheel springing. All the wheels of the Puma are driving and steerable. All this together, as well as a 12-cylinder V-shaped diesel engine Tatra 103 with a 210 horsepower capacity, provided very good cross-country ability, maneuverability, and speed.

    The third is a lighter American armored car, M8 Greyhound. This three-axle all-wheel drive vehicle, unlike the Puma, had a classic chassis design with 3 leading solid beams and a front steering axle, less body armor (up to 19mm in the front), and lighter armament, the 37mm M6 cannon placed in an open-top turret. An important quality of the vehicle for infantry units was the additional heavy .50 cal Browning machine gun mounted on the rear of the turret. Possessing more modest characteristics and a less revolutionary design, however, the Greyhound was a third lighter than the Puma and obviously easier to manufacture. In the conditions of the Second World War, this was largely a determining factor. Moreover, the Greyhound turned out to be a rather successful armored car that was used in various conflicts for a great many years after the 1945.
