More twin Engine flyables in IL-2 1946

more versions of betty

So, making Bf 110C-1, C-3, "soviet" A-20s, and A-20H with beefier engines will be very easy. I wish I can see them in next release

The Bf-110 mentioned in previous post sounds interesting.
I also would like to see a Poland section. There are lots of mods for Poland but they have not made it into TD patches, yet.

The best scenario for twin engines, will be "el golfo de vizcaya".
Bf-100, Ju88C-6, Me410, D0217, Beaufighters, moskitos, Lockhedd (not the P-38, but the coastal patrol version)
And some four engined planes like Short sunderland, B24, FW200 condor, Halifax.
Those planes were very busy over there.

Also there was a huge war on the night intruder role, with the germans harassing british air bases without night radars, and got as opposition twin engine british night fighters.

AKA, The Bay of Biscay.

I've been asking for this for years. This area is a dream for strike fighters and patrol bomber fans.

But, as you said, IL2 would need to add a number of planes, and perhaps a few more ships, to really bring the area to life. Also, it would require at least 2 maps to do the area justice, or perhaps just one large map at 1:2 or 1:4 scale.

This is another "forgotten" aspect of the Western Front where twin-engined types really shined. Most of the necessary plane set already exists, although a few new variants might need to be added. The only real problem is maps, since intruder ops mostly were over SW England, coastal France, and the Netherlands. Currently, we have nothing for those areas.

I'd also like to see TD get actual night fighter and night bombing ops sorted out first. After all, intruders need night bombers and night fighters to bomb, and night fighters need something other than bombers to shoot.

This would be incredible... Some of the planes would be more or less easy to add:

Mosquito F Mk.II: Modified from Mk.VI
Beaufighter MK.VIC: modified cockpit + small external changes to Mk21
Ju-88C6: According ot TD, external is done, it would need new cockpit, but most of it could be ported straight from A4.
Bf-110C4 and/or F2: Pilot's cockpit from G2 with modifications, gunner's cockpit would need some serious changes, especially the canopy.

With all this talk about night fighting, perhaps the Japanese Irving, or Gekko, would be something to look into.

And gunner/navigator position... I like almost everything in Beau except my inability to watch my six.
