The Luftwaffe currently has five flyable combat aircraft (109, 110, Ju87, Ju88, He111), plus there are two Italian flyable combat aircraft (BR20, G50).

Or to put it another way, three Red and seven Blue.

Or is this 'German Bomber' only AI?

Thanks for the update B6.

Not for Cliffs of Dover.

Does this mean there will be no 100 octane for BoB or that some aircraft will have it but they will not have an 87 octane option (like when you out the Rotol prop on the Spit Ia but could not have the DH)?.

Klem - It could also be interpreted as "you will have to buy the sequel to get octane options", whether the options could be used on the BoB map is moot. It would certainly be tragic if they could not. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding of BoM (at the very least) is that they were running on 87 octane.

Thankyou for update BlackSix. Regarding next week "video footage of an unexpected new feature". Notwithstanding the development issues highlighted by Luthier last week, I'd rather have the features promised in the original game (such as weather, rain, tree collisions, 128 player battles, no launcher crashes, the list goes on) rather than a "new feature". Still on the COD Official website 1 year after game released:

1. Join a 128-player jump-in/jump-out multiplayer mode where battles can last hours, days or even weeks - Not possible since most servers crash or players have launchers failures after 15min to 1 hr of play.

2. Advanced physics – wind, lift, turbulences, rain, fog… Feel the air rush on your wings as you push your aircraft to the limits in epic dogfights. See your fuselage torn to pieces while every single enemy bullets ballistic and damages is calculated. - No rain, fog, or heavy clouds. Most computers can't handle the fps hit.

Only one question , i can understand work its very hard and needs too much time ( last update ) , this its the question.

¿ its programated turn some actually non-flyables planes to flyable?? like Defiant, gladiator, beaufighter...

No. Maybe there will be modifications of flyables aircraft

NOOO!! Hopefully 1C will encourage 3rd Party modellers to do these ? I've already said i'm willing to chip in to help this process.

I sure hope that the next patch does not change the sounds, or if it does its in the + direction. First time flying the E-4 today, fired the cannon...it was like OMG does that sound good.

Well as a start, I managed to get the old Mesh Converter for IL-2 1946 to also export some of the information from the CoD mesh files. Unfortunately I don't think Dr.Jones is around anymore to update his program.

Thanks for the new airmass including propwash!

Really THANK YOU!!!

yeah thanks for the update . . .

Like the airmass answer also.

in regarding the positive argument, its always better to be positive, and this also applies to life in general.

in regarding the Rata I can't wait for it. In 1946, that ship's maneuverability was king. It was hard for 109 pilots to shoot down a Rata that used its strengths. I remember watching them BnZ me and then last moment use the Rata's maneuverability to throw off their gunnery and get a quick burst in as they zoomed off.

Also Rata's fell into the that 'annoying troll planes' like the PZL P.11c, that if you knew what you were doing and they didn't catch on quickly, you could make your opponent waste ammo and bug out because its hard to nail something that small and maneuverable.
