That's why I focused on the grossly inaccurate and wartime serving Yak-9UT first

agree, in total, but when i started read about these yaks, understood what all not so bad, of course, need fix many things like and for lot of other planes, but in this case DT can easy do only what i'm proposed - it's just will be more historically correct armed plane - and forget about him for a long time...

plus here changes only in code or something like this, 10 mins of work and hour for tests, i think...

well, gradual fixing of some things, what wrong here? and i'm not talking about franken planes and other similar things, but absolute perfectionism here it's can be serious problem for players who wait any changes, even simple, already very long time...

ie, generally speaking, for example for soviet planes in game could make lot of similar fixes like 2 b-20 for yak-3 m-107, number of shells for lagg-3, etc etc etc, it's important, but easy to do, can be in patches, in something like 4.1x.1, etc, and we won't wait long time these simple things...

this why, partly, i write here my findings and this is only my opinion, of course...

i think, another little and easy correction of armament, now for "il-2 field mod"...

apparently, gunner with DA-2, ie, MG did "field mod" with turret of r-5 or something like this... now in game have r-5... so, if in game we have DA, maybe, need replace what now (2 shkas with 1000 rounds in compare 4.09), at least, on what we have (even if it's PV-1 from i-16 type 5) or do DA, if this not hard...

because 2 shkas it's too good and, in RL, if i'm not mistaken, for field mods was used mainly one shkas in part of turret of pe-2 (like in attached pic)...

plus, in ideal, need replacing of disks, because was around 60 rounds per disk...

and, maybe, DT can do now gunner of this il-2 with parts from r-5 and tb-3? or... well... just i want "fully" flyable il-2 field mod and apparently we have now some details and parts for this... but, of course, it's not really better than frankenplanes, apparently...

i'm not really specialist on i-185 and not read, carefully, all these great books by Maslov etc, well, not mass plane etc... but... i think weapon for all i-185s ie and with m-82 and with m-71 was same, ammo boxes too, so, apparently if in 4.11 how and in 4.09 all planes have 220 rounds for each shvak, 660 in total, it's wrong...

correctly - from "brief technical description of plane i-185-71 (etalon)", 1942 - 560 in total (250 for upper gun, 170 for right gun, 140 for left gun)...

plus, i-185-71 ie plane with m-71 had or could have bombs and rockets how plane with m-82 in game, page from description, but at first maybe need fix only main error if this true ie after confirmation from books...

apparently, it's will be very easy...
