Hello Flying Dutchman, the airplanes you see in this version of the IL-2 Mod-game (DBW-1916) are
experimental
flying machines and "very rare" airplanes from WW1
The artist modders created them from top-secret airplane blueprints found in an old wooden crate left forgotten in a museum storage room.
The museum was not going to allow us to use those old blueprints, but someone knew the President and he said it was OK, as long as he could
also fly the WW1 machines in DBW-1916.
So what you see is all brand new (old) machines never seen before!
They also fly like old classic WW1 airplanes, which means very tricky flying and they burn quickly because of the wood and canvas construction.
What their cockpits looked like I have no idea, no one does. These were like experimental flying machines for combat. You must be the test
pilot and the ace pilot all at once if you want to survive in that cockpit.
VPmedia has created new cockpits for the airplanes but even though they are very nice and more realistic looking, I hardly look at them because
I keep looking out for some enemy airplanes trying to shoot me down all the time. Some of those new smart AI pilots are very agressive aces. Whomever did that change to the AI pilots, Thank You!
It makes for a better game. Like real WW1 aerial combat should be, agressive and no rules book! This is WW1 and the first time man flies
machines into combat. ALL combat rules are still to be written down and aerial dogfight maneuvers are still to be invented.
One day soon we shall have other WW1 airplanes that everyone already knows about from history books and films.
Some of them are already flying in DBW-1916 skies. The others are being built in the factory.
