What does everybody want the end date for modded aircraft to be so eg Do people Want BAE Hawk (1974) to be in the game
So the cut off date for modded aircraft
What should really be asked is can we actually build planes from the 60's and 70's? I think 1955 is as for as we can go for now. Yes, a B-52D is quite quite possible for this sim but the F-4's that would have gone with them (to Vietnam) are not. But maybe a YB-52 or B-52A with Sabre's for support over the Korea map.... :roll:
Okay, back on topic. Anything that greatly exceeds Mach 1 or requires complex avionics to keep it in the air is impossible (as far as I know). :wink:
XB-49
"Good poll"
+1
"In my opinion" keep it classic!!!! No tanks, No F-22 raptors :wink: :guncool:
i'd say anything before BVR combat

i think it's up to the modders though realistically the 50's is about the cut off.
Annoying the annoying, so you don't have to.
I would defenitly like 60's aircraft especialy russian aircraft from that era, like mig-17, mig-19, mig-21, mig-25, Su-17, Tu-22 blinder, Tu-95 bear but also the rest like, the hawker hunter, Bae bucaneer, Bae lightning F4, F5, F8, F100, F104, F105, F106, F111, A1, A4, A6, A7, B47, B52, mirageF1, mirageIII, super etendard, ect.,ect,.... But I think this would only be realised after Storm of War, because I read at Sim HQ an interview with oleg that SoW could cover all of history of aviation!!! 8)

snailsave11, it was Blackburn that made the Bucaneer, and English Electric that made the Lightning, not BAE. Also, if we're going to be like that, I'd love to see the TSR2, a truly brilliant aircraft murdered by politics! But still, i afgree, i think stuff like that would be better suited to SOW

What about the Avro Arrow? That may be pushing it too far but maybe, just maybe.... :roll:

Some piston-powered planes for me.
Personally I wouldn't use planes from after the Korean war. I think Korea suits the Forgotten Battles moniker. Anything after that gets very hard because of game limitations.
It all depends on what you can make. If you can make a B-52 of any kind great (someone send me something if you are) but it is impossible to do an f-16 properly. It would be cool just to have something that looks like one to fly round, maby hive it HVAR rockets just to play with, but there REALLY shouldnt be a cutoff date. If you can make it, you should be able to post it. What I would like to see happen is a more flexible version of il2 that can let you build planes with higher or lowerspeeds, and let unrealistic planes fly.
