Hi, veltro. this is nice. Keep up as I would like to see it in sf. I am curious thoug, are you makng the anti-ship variant or just strait bomber version? Reason i ask is for cfs 2, somemodeler release 3 diffferent versions with one being the antiship varaint. had like a 75mm gun in the front. See here if you plan to make it. i for one would like to see something like that. P.108A Artiglieri Anti-shipping version. One built. P.108A P.108A in Luftwaffe service.In response to a request in November 1942, the P.108A Artigliere "gunship" was developed for anti-shipping duties as an alternative to torpedo-bombers. It was armed with a modified high muzzle velocity Ansaldo 1941 model (90/53 mm) gun mounted in a redesigned nose. This was considered to provide the best combination of precision and range of all Italian artillery, and in several versions was used as an anti-aircraft and anti-tank gun by the Army and the Navy. To be more effective in its new role, the calibre of the gun was increased from 90 mm to 102 mm, a non-standard Italian artillery bore, and fired shells weighing 13 kg as opposed to the standard gun's 10 kg shells, with a muzzle velocity of over 600 m/s. This weapon has only been superseded in calibre, on aircraft, by the low velocity 105 mm modified M102 howitzer (23 calibres in length) carried on a mobile mounting in the flanks of the AC-130's 3.2 m width fuselage. The gun together with its recoil system weighed 1,500 kg.[6] Due to it being a re-bored smaller gun, its weight was relatively low for its calibre. The P.108A wasn't particularly unusual at the time, as medium bombers and even smaller attack-aircraft like the Henschel Hs 129 were fitted with high-velocity 75 mm guns despite being one or two categories lighter. The gun was mounted longitudinally in the fuselage centreline, at a depressed angle, and had a very strong recoil action which the 30 ton airframe was nevertheless able to absorb. The amount of ammunition that could be carried was around 50-60 rounds for the main gun, as well as up to three standard torpedoes or two radio-guided torpedoes (a secret weapon which was never used in combat), and finally the standard defensive weapons in the fuselage and wings. The 102 mm gun was intended to be fitted with a ballistic sight with an analogue computer, and a six or 12 rounds mechanical loader.[1] Initial modifications were made to MM.24318 which on 16 December 1942 flew to Savona, Villanova d'Albenga airfield. The modifications were completed in February 1943, and testing commenced 3 March. Testing of the P.108A was satisfactory, achieving a maximum speed of around 440 km/h due to the more aerodynamic redesigned nose. It flew to Furbara on 19 March, and later to Pisa on 16 April, where it carried out a series of firing trials at altitudes between 1,500 and 4,500 m to collect the ballistic data for negative angles of elevation that was required to allow the computing gunsight to be produced.[7] After totalling 24 h 40 min of flight and weapons trials, it returned to Albenga. Enthusiasm was high when it was presented as the new official attack machine at Furbara on 22 May, and it was planned to make five further P.108As, as well as convert another five or possibly all P.108s available. But on 29 June it was decided to produce no more than five aircraft, and in July, the order was limited to only two, and eventually cancelled. On 6 and 8 September the lone P.108A made other weapons tests over the sea, finally equipped with the S.Giorgio calibration/aiming system.[1] German forces took control of the P.108A and painted it with their insignia, but soon after it was damaged by Allied bombing. Repaired 7 April 1944, it finally flew to Rechlin where it was probably destroyed in one of the many Allied bombing raids. Although the P.108A proved to be capable, and fired over 280 shells in testing, the Armistice and the never-ending change of priorities halted its development. The use of such large aircraft in a dangerous anti-ship role was however questionable (at sea level 360 km/h was the best safely achievable), the cost was even greater than standard bombers, and the improved naval anti-aircraft defences (Bofors 40 mm guns, P-F shells, and fire-control radar) led Germany to rely on (relatively) long-range missiles like the Henschel Hs 293 and Fritz X. These were much more effective, as demonstrated 9 September 1943, when the Italian Navy was struck by these missiles, launched by their prior allies. The Germans launched a number of missiles against the Italian battleships, sinking the Roma and damaging the Italia, causing over 1,300 deaths. The three armoured decks of RM Roma could withstand hits from battleship-calibre guns, with over 200 mm thickness overall, so such results were well outside the capabilities of a medium calibre gun, even when air-transported. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piaggio_P.108 -

dsawan posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Hi, I have been trying to add a torpedo to the Il-2 variants for antiship but no go. I went into data.ini and added a torp rack station to it but won't show up. isd there anything special to add the torp to it? thanks. -
Il-2 T version
dsawan replied to dsawan's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Hi, Yeah i can use the weap ditor and miodify an existing torp into a russian one. As for the hardpoint. All i did was copty the Jap torp entry from the kate torpedo plane but the torp did not appear. Was therer something else i needed to put in the data ini? I thought it was just copy and paste of torp rack. -

Hi, it says EOGR as weapon type, but do you put the type of torpedo and does it need centering? they already have anti-ship as a mission type. -

Any Interest In an F-15S?
dsawan replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Yes, plz release. thx. -
I wish naval ops was in a future patch as well as torpedo fixes or torp carrying planes. I would think missions with the british carrier HMS Furios and their plan to attack the german High Seas Fleet at Kiel in 1918 would come to mind.

Mosquito FB Mk XVIII -Tsetse
dsawan posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Did not know this variant of the Mosquito existed. would be nice if pasko's Mossie could be tweaked with this gun. Other fighter-bomber variants were the Mosquito FB Mk XVIII (sometimes known as the Tsetse) of which 27 were made by converting Mk VIs. These were fitted with a Molins 57 mm cannon, a 6 pounder anti-tank gun modified with an auto-loader to allow both semi- or fully-automatic fire, in the nose, along with two .303 in (7.7 mm) sighting machine guns. The Air Ministry initially suspected that this variant would not work, but mock tests proved otherwise. Although the gun provided the Mosquito with yet more anti-shipping firepower to pit against U-boats, it required a steady and vulnerable approach-run to aim and fire the gun, thus making rockets more effective, especially because Mosquitos without the 6 pounder didn't suffer the weight penalty of the gun. The FB Mk 26 and FB Mk 40, based on the Mk VI, were built in Canada and Australia and were powered by Packard-built Merlin engines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Mosquito -

Patrol boat(nnauchka) and Radardome probs
dsawan posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Hi, does anyone know of a fix for the patrol boat(nanauchka) and radar dome showing up in CAS missions? The patrol boat shows up on land instead of water and the radardome shows up as well almost all the time. I still want them in-game but not in cas missions. Any fix? thx.
