yes, yes I know another Vietnam era plane request.    I think this plane is so versatile and can be used for so many purposes in il-2, I felt obliged to request it:
_Carrier-based heavy plane (18 Tons, up for the challenge landing this baby? a F-4 phantom is only 13T)  :p
_Used as a Strategic bomber, Photo Recon, Electronic countermeasure and Tanker. (We already have nice prop-engine re-fuelers, including the rumored KB-50. But tanker props were a declining technology during Vietnam, this would be a great opportunity for a Jet Tanker).
_one of the longest serving carrier based bombers (1950's-1990)

Performance
Maximum speed: 530 knots (610 mph, 982 km/h) at 10,000 ft (3,050 m)
Cruise speed: 452 knots (520 mph, 837 km/h)

8× 1,600 pounds (730 kg) armor-piercing bombs or
4× 2,000 pounds (910 kg) bombs

The only full pic I could find of the cockpit, you got to admit, a B25 cockpit or even b24 surely could be used as a replacement! This plane is just waiting to be flown on IL-2.

again, this plane is a little advanced for the game, but in a year or so it will hopefully be possible.

Wth, it's from the 50's.

again, this plane is a little advanced for the game, but in a year or so it will hopefully be possible.

And I think in "a year or so" the game will still use the same engine...modders can make a lot of progress but no wonders 

[singüe]

Who knowns, perhaps in a year or so someone can change the game engine.

engines kinda have that Me-262 look

Please this is a legit request and considering there is a falcon f 16 in the works . it is definatly not too modern. I would not hesitate to use this in a Korea sceenery. Good request
I read an interview from a aircrewe of one of these birds. Facinating plane

[BT~Tarik]

i like this plane and it's of a type we're in need of for the timelines we're moving into these days.  this plane will fit into the game fine...  if we can get the 3D done at some point, it'll get in game.   count on it. 

Good news ! 

[mojojojo]

cool!
guys, dont get me wrong, i love this plane and would be happy to see it in the game. it just makes me agitated when people request one modern plane after another.
