The Martin Baltimore was a two engined light bomber wich saw action mostly on the Mediterranian theatre used by the RAF. It also saw extensive action in Italy with the 28th Bomber Wing the Stormo Baltimore of the co-belligerent Italian airforce flying raids over germany.

It would be a very nice plane in IL2

I am with you guys on this.
I love these earlier, less powerful, more fragile aircraft. Character! They are also in need of representation.
Maryland is also a natural progression to this project.
Then in the conspicuously missing company is the Bristol Beaufort. In terms of graphics at least, the Beaufort has a good start - its fuselage and wings (I think I recall) were the basis of the Beaufighter.
A coupe of other old beauties are the Ki51 Sonia, Ki30 Ann, G3M Nell, Handley Page Hampden, Fairey Fulmar, Lockheed Hudson/Ventura to name a few I'd like to see.

It is sooo easy to list aircraft we would like to see, and so much work by so few for so many to get them into the skies.

Modders your work is appreciated.
I can't wait to see the upcoming B26, Fairey Swordfish, Do17, and Boomerang to name a few of the great WIPs I read about.

Yes we need the baltimore - I asked for this a year ago, but to no avail. The MOD'ers had their hands full, as they do today, so we have to take what comes and when it comes...

We shall wait and see then lads!

[Loht773]

I love you too Howlin....


Thank you for youre kind words...





:roll:

[Loht773]

Well thanks for youre support! And it was only one 1950s jet not 2000 fantasy Luftwaffe jets. I still do not consider it spamming in ones own Pulqui II post.


Regards!

Whoever does a 3D model Baltimore would also be able to do a JAAF Lilly as the basic body is very close. Both in fact would be very welcome. To bad I have no time to learn 3D modeling.

[Loht773]

Anybody out there willing to take this proyect?








Come On!


Look at it it looks mean! :lol:



Cheers!

[Trooper117]

It would be a very welcome addition as already stated.. but given whats going on with a very limited number of modders to do it all, you will probably have to wait out..

[Loht773]

Yes probably...



Thankfully I managed to get some interesting drawings wich could be used to build this baby, from the outside to the inside of the plane. It would be truly awsome to get this one or even a Maryland in game, or a campaing for the Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force. Flying from Sicily to Germany in order to bomb U Boat pens. The most famous pilot who flew a Baltimore was an Italian the leader of the Stormo Baltimore, Massimilano Erasi. He begun flying bi planes and when the war begun he was transfered to a unit wich opearted S.M 79s, and started flying torpedoing missions against the british fleet. But when Mussolini fell and the Allied landings begun he went to volunteer to be the Leader of the recently formed Baltimore squadron. The missions in wich the Italian flew where very dangerous may be even more dangerous than the missions flown by the American B-17s. The had to fly into germany and attack all sorts of military buildings, ships, factorys or U Boat Pens with theyre little Baltimores facing a certain death if encountered by german home defence fighter squadrons, plus they always encountered heavy flak. Erasi himself was shotten down because he got a direct flak hit and was unable to bail out. The ammount of courage wich theese italian pilots had its truly amazing.



Lets wait and see!

Yes please! I would really like to see the A-30 Martin Baltimore and maybe even its predecessor the A-22 Martin Maryland that fought in the Battle of France in 1940. Plus some pictures of each.

First the A-30 Baltimore











And next the A-22 Maryland
