afaik yugoslavian "k" used gnome rhone 14cyl engines, cowlings are different!

btw nice flying pencil, must have for early/interwar scenarios

I wonder why German bomber design increasingly moved away from 'conventional' cockpit design, while post-war most nations mostly stuck to the conventional cockpits, with a few exceptions like the B-29.

I believe the answer is in this episode of "Wings of the Luftwaffe". Essentially to boost morale and effectiveness of crewmen by having them all in close proximity around the cockpit. I hope that's what you were looking for, and highly recommend watching all three parts and other episodes as well.

This plane is a very required for IL2.

will also game ???

[SAS~Poltava]

Wot?????!!!! Is it a WIP???

[juanmalapuente]

It looks like the Do-17 Z with the skin made for Do 217 (by PA-Asis?). Actually Do-17 P could be easily derived from Z. I'd love to see in game also Do-17 E or F, with very different BMW inline engines. BTW, the ones in the B&W pic are F and not P.

Regardless of what exact brand of "Flying pencil" I would love it to have it in the game!
