Korea. IL2 Series: Yak-9P Fighter

[@mattstephen7494]

If this video didn't have the Korea title, I would have thought it was the old Il-2 series.

[@il2_sturmovik]

that's because this is a test map. Work on the main map is still ongoing

[@unotoli]

@@il2_sturmovik so colors are going to be more real-life like? it takes only a few dedicated color specialists, but results would be huge!

[@luib7701]

The sound is fantastic, was thinking if the yaks in great battles will have this sound tho.

[@il2_sturmovik]

Korea is using an updated version of our sound engine, so no, the GB Yak sounds won't be updated

[@lucasr.5863]

​@@il2_sturmovikWhy not to bring the improvements of your engine to GB?

[@qwertyuiop-gn6dw]

​@@lucasr.5863Agree totally, to me the exterior sound effects have always been a big let down & slightly spoilt a very good flight sim.

[@dnt_alert5806]

@@lucasr.5863probably needs way too much work to do that

[@lucasr.5863]

​​@@dnt_alert5806Ok, but G.B. deserves a great update on sounds and effects overall. They should develop the game, as they are developers. They use the same sounds and effects since 2013. The only thing I know they changed was Soviet 20mm ShVAK. Cannon shells impacts is the same strange black smoke from 2013. Anton series of 190s (A), are terrible heavy like a bomber. It is a miracle they reviewed Tempest FM and turned it more realistic this week. It seems they work just sometimes and ignore what community complains about. Damage model is another thing that may be reviewed. 30mm with few damage, .50 that PKs like laser beams... A lot of things must be done in this game.

[@cbz3237]

Engine sounds seem improved from the flatter GB sounds, that’s great!

[@ui9kq2xa5c]

This is the same as the cartoon-like graphics of the GB series. It's ironic that the cliffs of dover graphics are much more realistic even though it's an older game.

[@hugoferrari6468]

I hope this game will have some color option choices like in DCS because that would really make a difference to add some vibrance at least

[@jacquesremlinger2044]

I'm waiting for Ił-10, one of my favourite strike aircrafts of that era. I would love to see it among collector planes. 🙂

[@Jbroker404]

Ohh man this is going to be so sweet. I can't wait!!

[@xXrandomryzeXx]

This looks very promising, the physics don't seem to have changed, and I always wondered what an IL2 game, with the new engine, would look and feel like with early jets.

[@Hornet_Gaming]

thing sounds AMAZING!

i love it! Great job 1C!

[@qwertyuiop-gn6dw]

I've always loved the il2 series flight sims (I hate it when people call them games, I've never thought of them as being arcade style one bit). One of my only criticisms with them would have to be the exterior engine sounds though. I have never been inside a real WW2 aircraft running so can't comment on the interior sound realism & will have to accept that it's been tested by actual pilots & is somewhere near but I've heard like many people these great aircraft from the outside. I've been into flight sims for along time & still remember one from memory, I think from around the year 2000 & think it was called Mig Alley by Rowan. I loved the sound of the Mustang in flyby & would play it over & over just to hear the Merlin engine sound effects which Rowan got maybe not 100% correct but it was so very close back then roughly 25 years ago. The RR/Packard Merlin has to be probably one of the most if not the most iconic aircraft engines & sounds of all time & I think getting it right would have added so much more to the il2 series. I kept waiting for updates to correct it & make it sound as close to the real thing as possible but they never came which was very disappointing, I think from thing's I've heard & read there's been some ad on's but I've always thought I shouldn't have to do this, if third parties can do it why cant the devs. The engine effects in this video do sound quite nice so I hope this very important aspect of a flight sim is very well done in this new il2 series & not overlooked because it's well worth getting right as it adds so much more to the realism & immersion, just like photo realistic graphics do too. In VR the il2 series sims take some beating & I'm so much looking forward to this title & the new features. Sorry for the War & Peace length of this too but some things cant just be said with a few words 😊

[@MoreFunization]

And yet it's a computer game. 🤗

Looking lovely!!!

[@marcioh8733]

The sound is good, and the picture is good! However, note that in the play of light and shadows, grid patterns are formed on the mountains on the diametrically opposite side of the bay where the Yak is nosediving, which compromises the realism of the image. Please, fix it!!!

[@pkx_phant0m456]

Ngl, kinda bummed we are doing Korea and not WW2 Pacific, I would give my left nut for a decent A6m simulation or Ki-84

I'm waiting the release of your project. The Yak-9P looks greate! I like earlier reactive aircrafts. And for me, the Il-2 Korea the project of new level!👍👍👍

[@old_guard2431]

Looking forward to Korea and the Yak-9P. From the specs it looks like it can meet the P-51, Corsair and Hellcat on a fairly equal footing. But then the serious jets arrive and dogfighting becomes a serious hazard to your health. So, ground attack. . . I haven't listened to the Dev Blog video (too lazy) but I assume that the 9T will default to 2-20 mm ShVAKs, pretty good for a Russian fighter but a bit light for ground attack. This from "Aviation of World War II": "It was assumed that in addition to the standard gun, in this way it would be possible to mount VYa-23 (23 mm), NS-37 and even NS-45. The following weapon options were envisaged: 20, 23, 37 mm cannon firing through the propeller hub (ammunition load, respectively, 120, 80 and 30 rounds) and two synchronous 20 mm cannons (120 rounds per barrel) 45 mm cannon (20 rounds) and two synchronous 20 mm cannons (120 rounds each). 57 mm cannon and one synchronous cannon with 120 rounds." These were to be field mods. . . I would like to see these options available, at least as far up as the 37 mm (the heavier guns would probably be too much for a single-engine fighter). Bombs and rockets don't seem to be an option, probably due to the new Yak-9 wing structure.

[@wiwa23]

Oh yes! Sounds lovely! The one thing I didn't like in previous versions just got an update.

[@Mrbluesky-t1b]

Looking good! Carry on.

[@wassup9923]

Do you have any plans of adding the P-63 Kingcobra? I believe they were stationed in USSR bases near the North Korean border!

[@user-ek2lh7gn7d]

It would take them 10 years just to make all airplanes that particiapated in combat in Korean war, what makes you think they are spending time making airplane that didnt flew single combat mission in it ? and even then why would they not make IL-28, that was also neer border during the conflict, more interesting airplane for game type ?

[@zeno6111753]

Looks great! Will this version of IL2 have fully interactive cockpits so you can make realistic cold starts and such?

[@Artiglio1977]

So...besides its updated ones, I honestly don't see anything different from the IL-2GB series, or am I wrong? It may be that my age is deceiving me and in reality the video I see is not the same as the one others see...

[@user-ek2lh7gn7d]

im still waiting for them to show why GB had to be ditched for this, not even eyecandy is better, i do not see players that are now playing GB switching to this , so who they plan to atract with this old look i do not know.

[@Artiglio1977]

@user-ek2lh7gn7d precisely, I can't understand all this enthusiasm for something old... at this point it was worth expanding the IL-2GB... but with the excuse of the graphics engine not holding up... in the end they're working on it anyway that graphics engine...

[@DunkzGam1ng]

will the Al be able to avoid crashing into the hills?

[@RealDarko]

Why the Yak had that transparent window for what it looks like a radio antenna? The video looks fantastic, can't wait to fly my Yak in North Korean markings!

[@il2_sturmovik]

Yes, because the metal skin of the aircraft blocks the radio waves. This is explained in our recent Dev Brief about this aircraft: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaW4m4x5jdZrZ9k

[@RealDarko]

@@il2_sturmovik Cool!

[@old_guard2431]

It is an interesting choice. Mostly metal-skinned fighters would have the radio direction finder antenna mounted behind the pilot but within the plexiglass canopy. I expect mounting it farther back helped keep the center of gravity under control. You have that beast of an engine plus the guns/cannons and ammunition fairly far forward, and lighter metal wings/fuselage compared to the plywood structures of the earlier Yaks, so it seems to make sense.

[@Pixelatedworld-iu2dd]

OMG, ground detail looks a bit sad, reminds me of a kids Lego set world. Why cant they create real looking villages, towns and cities, instead of creating these sad looking artificial kids street play mats? No variation in the houses at all, no other village or town structures or buildings, just copy and paste basic looking houses. I had high hopes for il2 Korea, but this is looking a bit underwhelming. Whilst i loved the B-29 Superfortress video and this aircraft modeling looks ok, the rest is showing little progression graphically or physics wise whatsoever, which is all a bit sad. Sorry to be so negative.
