Iāll just throw out that I never even heard of the IL2 series until after I started playing DCS A-10C in 2013.
No, I own itā¦IL2: BoS and IL-2: CoD, Iāve just never really played them other than to grab a few screens. Maybe an hour or less. Never a campaignā¦
Iām waiting for Battle of Bodenplatte. DCS WW2 looks to be really expensive.

Can you use combined arms in the ww2 asset tanks?
Yes, although it still needs some love, but the units pack is still getting more units and such.

Got round to flying The Big Show mission 1 this week which is nicely done in generalā¦but some advice.
You see NLS he is very good at taxiing into the back of meā¦despite my swerving. On the 3rd attempt to get to the runway in one piece I decided to take the grass route and let him take off first as he was so eager.
You see that weird bulge under the Spitfire - yep I noticed that about half way over the channel (thus didnāt put the ext fuel switch on doh) - that was not in game the last time I used the Spit. I kept it on for the dog fighting and scored one kill but the game crashed on the way back to blighty when I hit F10 so will try again soon.

I prefer the A-8 over the Dora (Dunno why exactly. Probably just the looks or because it is a versatile fighter bomber with a lot if different possible armaments).
So I will most likely buy that module.

They are night and day. One is fat the other slim. One makes me think air to air the other multirole. Both make me glad that I play DCS

Well said
Like the shorter nose of the A-8. It looks more balanced to me. Since I already have the D-9 I will buy this one, eventually.

Iāve been on a WW2 binge lately, so the A8 looks amazing. The cockpit textures are superior to anything else that Iāve experienced. Fantastic trailer.

The only thing that would have made the trailer even more awesome would be if they had shown it using some of the cool armament options that bird had, like:
- bombs
- torpedoes
- dual 30mm cannons
- WGr.21 rockets
Did you play CFS3 too? 
It seems the Torpedo was more for the F-8 variant, and even then - a rare occurrence.
Yet, I would love to have it anyway.

No, I havenāt played CFS3, I stopped in that series after CFS2.
As far as I recall the variant was called A-8/U11.
The music nods to the Phantom of the opera main theme a couple of timesā¦ 
corny but good.
