Well, as a former Air Force mechanic and "Phantom Phixer", I don't think the IL2 engine will handle an acft as complicated as the Phantom. The avionics alone would tax it to it's limit and we haven't even gotten into it's weapons system.

As for the XB-35. Did you know it was scrapped because it had a fundimental flaw that the engineers could not fix? It couldn't fly in a straight line. That's right. It was no good as a bomber because it couldn't hold a course.

Fun to dream, but at the end of the day, IL2 has proven it can do a lot of things, but I'm afraid these two acft should stay in the realm of wishful thinking.

The XB-35 was scrapped due to the vibrations caused by the crude government-fashioned gearboxes that reverberated through the plane's hull and caused it to drift off course, yes. Assuming the plane were to be made for IL-2 we would forget that little detail and pretend Northrop was allowed to design their own coaxial gearboxes for it, which they should have been.
To clarify, the YB-35, the four-engined version did not drift, but it also didn't have enough to power to carry a sufficient bomb load. The XB-35 was the coax, and it drifted because its gearboxes were crude and not designed for coaxial use. The YB-49, which was essentially the YB-35 with its props swapped with jets, also did not drift.

As for the Phantom I don't see how its flight would be much more difficult to calculate than any other jet in IL-2 unless IL-2 gets buggy at supersonic speeds, which I myself have not experienced yet after hitting almost 2000 km/h in several aircraft including the B29 (which tore itself apart, but whatever), the Bi-6 (which recovered nicely), and the C-47 (technically only 1,200 km/h but still).

If you would like to fly the F-4 I recomend Wings Over Vietnam. If you get the Yankee Air Pirate add on, you will have new scenery ai, ect. It really rocks. The enemies are all there too. You really dont want to fly a F-4 against a I-16 do ya'? Mig-17s will challenge you and make a b&Z artist out of you.
There is allready a flying wing in IL2. Fly the G0-229. Once you get a few B-29 kills you will love its power. Just dont try to take on any real fighters.

I know of the 229. I love it, it's really fun to fly, but it doesn't feel as powerful as I'd imagine the XB-35 would. It's not as big and surely nowhere near as loud (not to mention prone to spontaneous combustion while throttling up).
On the F4, I'd love to remove inferior aircraft from my airways through the use of aircraft with technology not chronologically existing yet.
