Suggesting to devs

One thing that I would really like is historically accurate skins. And also the ability to add new skins to the plane, maybe as free DLC? Such an update, I feel would go down really well with simmers like me.

Maybe I don't want it to happen, for the very reason I just stated.


If you are no longer able to keep your plane in the sky, or land it properly, then someone should get the credit for taking you out of the sky.


I don't know the multiplayer details yet, and if there is one for landing on carriers or at airfields, then yeah a successful belly land should count in your favor, but someone should still get credit for taking you out of the sky/you should be punished for losing a plane.

This explosions achieves two goals:
- adds more Holywood style action (especially if you one, who hit target, not the one who landed).
- gives more visual for MP - more time you see enemy explosion, not just landed.

In the Il2 games on the PC, during campaign it was possible to progress even if you were shot down so long as you survived and came down behind friendly lines. This meant being shot up badly did not necessarily mean that you failed the mission, like a real pilot, you could survive being shot down and return to your unit for another mission.

While less stylish than the plane blowing up, it did give an authentic feel to the game.

An alternative method would be to give the victor the kill when the game recognised that the plane was on the ground and could not takeoff, but leave the pilot to exit the plane manually, which would count as being shot down, not being killed. This would perhaps be best on simulation and realistic difficulties, leaving "Hollywood style action" for the players on arcade.

If you pull off an amazing belly landing after being damaged badly , only to explode into flames after minimal damage . it ruins immersion.

this was a NORMAL landing , and it was WAY over reactive

i suggest just turning down the damage at low speeds

I think you came in a bit hot, hit the ground a bit hard, and you need to pull back on the throttle to apply some brakes once you are on the ground. That cute girl at that farm you you tried to park at would be more impressed if your corpse was not charred!

Hello developers,

i haved play the demo from the il2 on xbox .

it is a very good game but please make different gamepad settings .

to look around in the cockpit i don't will hold the stick pressed down .

i found a toggle between look and yaw rudder better or

the usage of the left and right trigger/button for the rudder .

Is it just me or does WEP stay on forever and your engine never overheat when using the Aviator stick? Maybe that could be fixed?

I've noticed this too but it's not the stick. It seems to be unlimited in all modes except arcade, bizarrely.

Maybe we can get an option to adjust the deadzone for the AV8R joystick? Or maybe have it reduced from its current value?

I use the Saitek stick and when playing the Tiger Hunt on simulation mode, I have experienced my engine over heat two times. I wasn't shot at or anything and I had been using full throttle for quite some time. What happened is that my engine went off and I couldn't start it anymore.

The propeller did roll when I went to a dive but after leveling it was idle again after a short time.

P.S. My firs post.
