Why is there no really heavy artillery for the Soviets?

I just looked at the artillery in the shooting range and the mission editor, and realized there's no 122mm, 152mm, or even the big 203mm howitzers that the Soviets used extremely prolifically throughout the war.

Yes, there's the ISU and SU series, but that's not exactly the same. I'd really like to operate one of those M1931 B-4 203mm howitzers, they were used literally almost everywhere by the Soviets from Moscow to Stalingrad to Hungary and Berlin.

Having the Il-10 in the Blood on the Danube DLC (or base game, whichever would work better) would be awesome

It's an even better version of the Il-2, and it plus aircraft like the La-5 and La-7, and weapons like the DPM, would really round out the peak of later war Soviet tech in the game. Having the Pe-2 would also be cool for any point in the war that is currently represented in game.

We should have the DPM in the Blood on the Danube DLC

The DPM (which was introduced in 1943, it's essentially a DP-28 with a pistol grip and a receiver extension for the recoil tube) would make sense to have in at least some of the Soviet squads as that variant became more prolific towards 1945, and would eventually lead to the RP-46. I can't find any specific information on if production and issuing of the DPM replaced the DP-28 entirely at any point in the war or if both variants were produced until the end of the war, but regardless, I think it would be a accurate, worthwhile, and uncomplicated addition to Blood on the Danube.

Issue with the model of the SBD Dauntless

The model for the SBD Dauntless has a large gap around the fuselage where the tail connects to main body of the plane. It's not that noticeable from the ground but in-flight it is noticeable to the point of distraction.

Edit: The angled portion of the wings also have gaps where they meet the straight section that juts from the fuselage.

What the heck happened to Evike's UI? This is so janky and ugly. Even on mobile it looks awful.

Why does the I-16 in the game not have the option to use the 20mm cannons on the in-game model?

Some of the later variants of the I-16 had 2 20mm SHVAK autocannons mounted in the wings, with two SHKAS machine guns above the engine. Other variants mounted SHKAS guns in the wings, but A. The muzzles of the guns on the in-game I-16 are too big and B. They don't fire when you fire the machine guns in-game.

Have the invasion stripes version of the P-38 and the Soviet I-16 been removed from the game?

I can't get either to spawn in the shooting range. And also, will we be getting the version of the Il-2 Sturmovik that was in the game before the 2.0.6 update in the upcoming DLC? I miss all the bombs that version has.

Do you have to do missions like "The Flyover" to get the "Hero of all Fronts" achievement?

Edit: I DID IT! Beat The Flyover and completed the Anzio Campaign as the Allies! Now on to Cassino!

I've been crushing the Anzio campaign so far (after having a little trouble with Panzer bei Cisterna) and now I just annihilated the German counterattack at Aprilia twice in a row (Fischfang Aprilia-Gegenoffensive and Wadis bei Aprilia).

I was going to move on directly to Breakout: Securing Aprilia, but I tried The Flyover mission and it seems to be a timed wave defense mission, unlike the others I've been playing where you just whittle down the enemies or capture the points. It's a branch off the main line of Aprilia missions, so is it necessary to complete?

If it is necessary to complete in order to get the achievement, what is the win condition in it? Survive 5 waves? 10 waves? Any and all help regarding The Flyover (and any future missions like it) would be very appreciated!

What is Easy Red 2 like on the Switch 2? Does it have higher bot counts than the Switch 1 and does it run smoother?

Me and my fiance were thinking of getting it on his switch 2 that way me and him can crossplay together, but if it doesn't run well we don't want to bother. From what I've read online, the PS4/PS4 Slim/PS4 Pro and the Xbox One/Xbox Series S versions of the game don't run very well, and the Switch 2 is in-between the PS4 Pro and Xbox Series S power-wise, but as I understand it the Switch 2 has better optimization for its games with it's DLSS.

Anyway, all that aside, do any of y'all have any experience with Easy Red 2 on the Switch 2?
