Default Update/Add-ons

First off great game and the level of ground detail and the planes. Second if you do decide to do a update then you should think of the following: Correct the planes turning, climb and decent rates to the correct way that they were in the war, then for every german plane you need to put the swastika on the back not a diamond, then you need to put the correct weapon sounds like machine guns sound like machine guns and cannons like cannons, the biggest is correcting the FW-190 D-9 cause its missing two cannons and two machine guns which makes it have 5 cannons and 2 machine guns and if you think that it will be a balance problem then explain that to the men who fought in the war and i can a sure you they will laugh at you about balance, add cockpits for all of the planes, ability to change the controls to the users preferances, guns need to be able to damage everything, add more planes, bomber missions, have the ability to change your load out cause the germans added cannons under the wings of most of there planes, have a ranking system instead of do a certian amount of stuff to unlock a plane or load out that way it is easier to know how close you are to unlocking something, and finally different paint schemes and custom user schemes

The Dora 9 never had 5 cannons...where on earth did you get that from? It had two 20mm MG151 cannon in the wingroots and two 13mm MG131 machine guns in the top of the nose... If you want to see some real errors with the aircraft in the game, look at my previous posts. The Germans didn't add cannon under the wings of "most" of their planes at all...certain variants, yes...such as the Bf-109G-6....certainly NOT most. And these were marks...there were field mods, but these were the exception rather than the rule.

When selecting a game mode (ie dogfight, team battle etc) when going online, could there be an option for 'All'. At the moment when there are so few games visible, it's a bit of a pain flicking through all the options trying to find a game, would be nice if you could just have an option to see them all and pick from there.

I have read all 36 pages so apologies if this has been said or is a know problem.

In the MP game, your selected target seems to randomly shift for no particular reason. Its especially bad when your tring to closely follow a target, and all of a sudden your target rectical swaps to another planes way across the map.

Also while I here, the hit detector is way, way off! I was plugging a target from less that 10ft away and hitting nothing but air!

Maybe have it so the Yak-3 doesn't have mullions on the forward part of the canopy, and just has it across the top. Then it will be a real Yak-3 all around!!

In training mode, I would like to be able to choose friendly planes number (not myself only), just the same way enemy planes number is implemented.

This would add a lot of gameplay, by allowing any air battle u like in any scenario.

Also, it would have good training value, helping to distinguish friend or enemy without hud.

Hello, i'm new around here, and enjoying this forum as the most active source for useful information about the game

I can only agree with Atila about the improvements the Training game mode could get...

After playing IL2 on the PC with the complete quick mission generator, it's quite disturbing to be able to only fly a plane against a flock of ennemies, without wingmen or anything...
We're nearly there though, everything's in it, EXCEPT the possibility to choose allies and more than one variety of ennemy planes.

Call me pessimistic, but i've never seen yet a patch or DLC for a console game that looks like a PC patch...Usually they add new stuff, but don't really correct things...Well, correct me if i'm wrong

Still, is this something we can expect, or can you forget about this right now?
It would really add MUCH to this already nice training mode.

It looks great and arcade mode is simple and fun and infact the only thing I’d suggest you change in game is the R3 look around. Countless times I’ve throttled up to dive on a target only to find myself looking around at the wrong moment. There are spare buttons on the ps3 pad during arcade I’d suggest being able to move it.

Biggest let downs for me is the lack of a lobby system, passworded or private rooms, mute for noisy kids and for some unknown reason the inability to remain in the same room after each game. Having to find another room again and again and then sending out friend invites before it repopulates with random strangers before they can get in is such a pain.

Others have already mentioned Co-op game play which would be fantastic.

There is the usual issue with lag and disconnects.

I do think it’s a lovely game and can see the great potential with a few tweaks here and there.

Yes, I second that. We need to be able to stay in the same multiplayer room and for more players to join while game is in session. It should only change or end if the host leaves or he/she changes the map - in which case everyone stays on while map loads.

There is something wrong with my UK Import Version.
I put the language to german and whenever the speaker is supposed to say "Hitler" the word is cut out.
This has not been censored bei the german USK (like PEGI) so the publishers cut the word "Hitler" out.
But why the Hell?
That is not prohibited here in germany, i mean it sounds totaly messed up whenever the speaker says something.
The Germans fighting under the Dictator *beep* bla bla bla *beep*
WTF?
