Its possible, but not high on the priority list.
Quote:Actually the two gunpods that we have in the weapon selection for the L and L_Late are not historically correct, as they were only experimentally tested on one aircraft in the States, discarded due to the aerodinamic drag that affected the performance and never operationally used in combat.
Actually, I have photo's of them being used on F4 and F5's and even pilot quotes who used them. But not like "never used or even existed" has ever stopped anything from getting into IL2. I mean we have the Do-335, 109Z and Ta-183, but your going to argue about experimental gunpods that nobody even uses anyways?
Quote:I'm courious to know wich variant of the P-38J the one already in the game is supposed to represent. maybe a J-15-LO ? For sure it is not a J-25-LO as this one was externally indistinguible from an L, due to the landing light repositioned on the wing leading edge, and the Dive Flaps that were first applied to this variant...
J-10 or J-15. I dont remember. Many of the J-10 and J-15 were upgraded to J-25-LO standard using kits that included the booster pumps, aileron power, and dive flaps.
Quote:I beg your pardon for pointing out this, it is not intended to be a complaint, only a suggestion based on historical evidence...
Thank you for the outstanding effort and be sure that it is deeply appreciated.
I like to be historical, but for IL2, we are so far from historical its really almost humorous to point out little things, like the difference between J-10 and J-15 really has little relevance when you have stuff like the Heinkel Lerche buzzing around, dont you think?
