Which is historically CORRECT for most of the aircraft in game.

Allowing Cessna style differential braking for all aircraft would not be historical, though of course a FEW major aircraft modeled DID have the two toe brakes, it was a new innovation at the time and only appeared on a few aircraft.

Ideally of course we should have toe brakes for the aircraft that had them historically and a single brake control for the rest. that however is probably unnecessarily complex.

This is by no means a priority request but it does appear that there are a few aircraft that are incorrectly armed. There may be good reasons for this but I wanted to pose the question.

My focus is on the Yak-9UT which there is unfortunately not very many resources out there on. The in-game version has a pair of ShVAK 20mm cannons in the nose and a single 37mm cannon in the hub mount which IL-2 Compare lists as Sh37ki. Although difficult to track details... we *think* that the correct armament should be two B-20S cannons in the nose (instead of the ShVAK) and one NS-23 cannon in the hub mount.

The discussion that we had was here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=17554

Also that indicates that there are a number of other types with incorrect armament. The Ki-43-II has Browning .50cals when they probably should be the same Ho103 as in the Ki-61 and Ki-100. The J2M3 and M5 aren't quite right either.

I didn't know some of this until just recently. References difficult but some are probably more obvious than others.

If it's possible, it should be attempted IMHO. Not top priority, but someday in another patch?
