Does anybody have a Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik graphics in Luftwaffe markings with appropriate pzeqp file info?
Thanx to all replies and greets from Virginia.

I don't have the pic ya requested but ... HI, from a fellow Virginian

I have a vanilla icon that's been re-skinned and marked that you are welcome to use. It's kinda dark but might work until Guille makes us a new one
Regarding eqp file info, you can just copy the Soviet unit's line. You would need a new unit # / add "ger_" so as to match the new icon.png / change the "Flag" value from 3 to 0 / adjust available dates if needed / purchase or nopurchase.

Same thing with efx file. Copy Soviet unit's line and add "ger_" so as to match the new icon name.

Hello guys!

Here are some "Germanized" Il-2 and Il-2m3 in plain and SE camouflage schemes...

Here are the SE camouflaged units... All these units are heavily based on the icons made by Bebro.

Greetings!!

As usual, Guille to the rescue
I forgot I can just copy/paste the soviet pzeqp info, thanx for that too.
This topic made me wonder if the Germans ever did fly captured soviet planes.
Surely they must have captured some, particularly at the start of Barbarossa.
I'm sure the transition wouldn't be easy, but I still wonder.
Anyway, Thanx to all and greets from Virginia

The Ilyushin Il-2 was the main attack aircraft of the Soviet Union and her allies in Eastern Europe during and after WW2. During the Second World War, Germans captured no less than 100 Soviet Il-2 planes. They were never used (even for training purposes) because they had very poor technical data and pilotage capabilities. German were surprised why planes so poorly built as the Il-2 was produced and used in such large numbers. Using German standards this plane never could be used by Luftwaffe. Not only were the Germans disappointed, but also Hungarian and Finnish pilots. Those planes were used as ground targets and as trophy exhibited in main cities. Probably one plane was exhibited in Aviation Museum in Berlin.

Very interesting! Do you have any links or sources? I would very much like to read more
Thanx
