Etzel Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Hi Pilots, 1st: There is an IL2 sale running, much of the content (even the latest collector planes) are on discount => good chance for some new pilots to grab some items 2nd: Seems IL2 Development is really not dead, there are some very interesting plan(e)s, take a look on the current development blog: Dev blog #342 / IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles (il2sturmovik.com) They plan to add towable gliders!!!! Specifically the American Waco CG-4A..... => that adds the possibility of some very interesting missions... Salute Etzel Britchot, Razwald, J5_Hotlead and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelsup_cavu Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 The novelty of a flyable Glider definitely peaks my interest. Â Wheels Klaiber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 The WACO CG-4A has a glide ratio of 12:1 and sink rate of 400 ft/min at 60 mph. Â You initiate landing by releaseing the tow line. Â Upon landing you become a rifleman. I prefer sailplanes myself. wheelsup_cavu, Britchot and Vonrd 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonrd Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 So, will the Germans get this to balance? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DFS_230 Â What about the Russians? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_A-7 Klaiber, wheelsup_cavu and Lee 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etzel Posted May 17 Author Report Share Posted May 17 Probably depends on the success of the 1st one.... Like it was with the Ju52, where with quite some delay the C-47 followed  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
