Very impressive hock: hock: 8) . If it was already available somewhere I would certainly download.

But from military viewpoint a project like that one, if ever suggested back in 45-46, would have been cancelled immediately:

I know it is just a launcher not ment for combat, but still it has to survive until it reaches high altitude and releases the 5 missiles. Just look at the design, clearly too much drag and quite big/heavy. No matter how powerfull those 6 engines would be, that thing can't be very fast. Extremely easy target for the overwhelming allied air power. In terms of vulnerability, this design is no more than a gigantic stuka. Can't survive without absolute air superiority. To launch missiles, germans would use He111H21 or He 111Z or so rather than an entire new design with probably inexistent tactic flexibility (can't use that thing for multiroles).

(on a side note: this reminds me a bit the gigant railway canons that were much more impressive than military efficient).

This project from early 1945? Sorry, but I don't think so. This for sure is 200% fantasy and was never in the drawing board or minds of any german designer, ever (if I am wrong, please, tell us where is the crucial info)

This said... I don't mind anybody requesting it (or requesting any other thing), the modder can do it if it has fun at it



Personally, for a strange project, I would rather go for the Junkers 287 family , which have interesting shapes, must have an even more interesting FM and many data including pictures do attest its existence. The V1 prototype was tested in 45 ,the V2 was in the build process when russians captured the place and the working team. As a consequence, there is a russian outcome of this interesting project: the EF-140, a russian built version of EF-131 (=Ju 287v3, with Ju 388 fuselage instead of Heinkel 177) with 2 RR Nene & flown in 1948. I only know of one or two photos of it.

Until missing ww2 planes are made...no way! When we have a Hampden, Meteors, an IK-3, T-6, DO-17, those funny flying boats etc. -then maybe :lol:

[quote="Ala11_viktor"]Particularmente me parece fuera de lugar..... ademas de ser solo un proyecto de bombardero....no existio y ademas me parece mucho mas importante cualquier avance el el Lienzo de Caballeros...Se

[norm]

of course i would dl pretty much any thing made for this sim.

It's a nice and very interesting plane, I read many things about the Luftwaffe secret planes, but I have never heard about this one!!

I WOULD FLY IT!!!!!!!!!!!

I would download it.The game is called IL2 Sturmovik 1946 which to me is an open door to what if stuff.Maybe a forum set up just for what if's would be cool.That way you keep the historically accurate people happy(which i am) and stop the negative and sometimes brutal comments.I agree there are more important aircraft we need,but,if someone has the time to make strange planes and it doesn't take away time from other projects we should support them and not put them down.I enjoy and appreciate ANY new edition to this game.I've been playing IL2 since 2001 and it just gets better plus CK will be another fantastic edition(i wait quietly) I didn't care for the comment about how many post's people have. I don't have many because i find what i need and have no problems with adding mods to my game and i thank you guys for the mods.Lets enjoy our time here at AAA and you all know it would be fun to shoot those big DB-C's out of the sky :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

It seems great to me. I have always been into "what-if" campaigns. +100.

[norm]

it would be good for testing new weapons against.

When I talked about the posts I said there are exceptions, and I meant that the more time you spend here the more historical stuff you want.

I'm sorry KG, I took it as you were giving him a hard time. I am sorry. My mistake.

The mercedes project is a weird one. I vote for a NO.
I would rather see airplanes that actually were made or were
in prototype fase. The Junkers project is a good example as were other "Amerika Bomber" projects.
This airplane was just an idea and was never touched on again since it was drawn up on paper as a scketch.

Now if you want something really weird and fantasy-like, then I would rather see a "Hannebu" with a
rotating copola with machine-guns. That oughta make my flying day a good one! LOL
