I do agree that it is just impossible to translate the names of loadouts or whatever into english. Why English by the way, and not Russian, German or Uzbek? Il2 is played world-wide.
Still I think it is too harsh to accuse people of lazyness, just because they do not know something or do not know how to look for it (Everything is just dead simple, if you only happen to know it). But some things are not as easy as they look at first sight. For example: what does "default load-out" mean for an ac that is not included into the data-base. A simple solution would be an update of the Database, that has not been done since the very beginning of the game. Including a new section: "load-outs". Imho it should not be too hard to do, because the TD guys have all the knowledge, information and sources (it still needs time, I know ...).
Thus even casual players could find the info without leaving the game.

The perhaps the in-game encyclopaedia which is looking less and less encyclopaedic should be given an overhaul including sections on aircraft armaments (guns, ordnance etc) and ground & sea units & their armaments.
Perhaps TD could subcontract some of this work as I'd prefer to see them continue to spend their valuable and freely given time and effort on coding enhancements and new content.

...

It's not because they don't know, it's because they don't want to find out themselves, asking instead, that someone would make it more easy and convenient for them.

And don't tell us, people, who can play IL-2, can't use Internet search.

Some like to help. Some don´t.

By the way: I would volunteer to translate the texts from English to German.

actualize p-39 armament rockets, fueltanks bombs
actualize i16 armament too

actualize maps that are WIP or already finish- (and are very completed on forest and real airfields) specially east front.
fix quick mission builder
will be nice see new aircraft like ju188 - he177 - he112 - finissh aircaft armament modification - british bombers - early war biplanes

Hey TD just a couple ideas!
 

More readable gauges for F4U, better rear view for Tempest, new engine frontal area for Fw190A.

Better positionned gunsight and reticle for P51B/C and P47 razorbacks.

Tyre/shock absorber/brake sounds especially when landing

Original gunsight for Airacobra.

another idea: mid air collision
 

When two aircraft collide, the more robust in construction suffers less damage. Or at least both suffer fatal damages.

and these coul be nicwe fly it

A couple of things I've recently learned, which might be of interest to TD:

* The propeller for the P-47D-10 is actually the wider "paddle-blade" version, only fitted on the P-47D-22 series and later. It should be narrower.

* The Finnish version of the Blenheim actually had a modified bomb bay and different ordinance loadouts than are modeled in the game.

A Spitfire XIV or XVIe?
