DZZ New Slot A/C with Weapon Updates (4.0)
------------------------------------------
danzigzag, July 22 2009

IL-2 1946 and AAA members,

This is the FOURTH of a series of small mods that aim to add new aircraft to the sim which have weapon additions but are in new slots, this way updated models of many of the existing types can be updated, without changing the original models, thus avoiding cheating and compromise of flight model and Weapons.

Below are the previous releases:
#1.0 http://allaircraftarcade.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17902 (IL-2I, IL-2T)
#2.0 http://allaircraftarcade.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18006 (Ki-43 Series)
#3.0 http://allaircraftarcade.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18204 (Recon Pack: Yak-9R, Bf-109 F-5/F-6/G-8 and Bonus Adolph Galland Bf-109F-2/U1)

In this release (4.0), the following mods are included:

* TB-3 4M-17 Configured for Cargo and Troop Transport [NEW SLOT]
* TB-3 4M-34R Configured for Cargo and Troop Transport [NEW SLOT]


Tupolev TB-3
============
(Reference: Yefim Gordon & Dmitri Khazanov's "Soviet Combat Aircraft of the Second World War")

The Tupolev TB-3 bomber entered service in 1931.  The first models used the M-17F engine which was a copy of the 

German BMW-VI.  In 1933, the TB-3 started to be fitted with the M-34R improved engine, which subsequently 

improved aircraft handling.  Both models are represented in the IL-2 1946 Sim.

The TB-3 was slow and vulnerable to modern fighters, so it was used as a heavy bomber only in the first year of 

the war.  TO avoid losses it was used to drop cargo via parachute (represented in this MOD).  It also earned its 

pay as a troop and paratrooper transport (it could handle 35 troops or 30 paratroopers - paratroopers are 

represented in this MOD).

I also added the ability to drop 1 to 4 individual paratroopers...  for those special missions that required 

special personnel...

NOTE: for Cargo and agent drops, open the bombay door.  For paratroopers that is not necessary.

I hope you enjoy these planes as much as I do.
