I'm rather hoping for something French, it would fill a huge hole in the early war plane set.

The Imperial Japanese Army needs a flyable bomber/attack aircraft as well.

And the Finns were not the only country to take the Hawk 75 into combat.

Indeed, Wellington made me think that perhaps we're getting some basic night war aircraft set. But yes, I'm also hoping for something French

@TD Any chance you can release 4.12 complete as a one stop download. I know community members have bundled them together previously but it would be great to have the whole lot compiled officially.

Obviously, I realise an incremental patch is still needed for modders that want to switch back and forth between various versions.

I can see the obvious advantage of a one stop download for those installing the game for the first time, but for anyone already running v4.11 a smaller patch is by far preferable. Some of us, maybe many, still have quite slow internet download speeds so big patches which duplicate stuff we already have is not our favorite option.

Yes but wouldn't 4.12 be new.. totally new anyway? I can't see them adding stuff from 4.11.xx into 4.12.. what would be the point?

Hey Barry:

I don't think they (Mods) are going to do it that way anymore, I think they are just going to take what they can and incorporate it into their current package i.e. DBW 1.8, UP3/4, and HSFX is a different story, they are not as wide reaching where getting every mod you can jammed into an install. So I think what I'm hearing is it will be DBW 1.8v.xxx drawn from 4.11.1 content. In other words they will adapt the patch to their package instead of vice versa.

And re-installing. I probably installed this game at least 7 or 8 times. It's the worst game I own when it comes to patching. I have 8 files including 4.09 skin pack in my 1946 updates folder. I'd much rather delete them all and have just one.

Torrent overnight. Anyway like I said, it's not a problem if we have both Incremental and Complete. Everyone wins.
