think about this,what does il2 1946 have that Cliffs of Dover dont??A meeting place!!!A community where pilots can talk, chat, and compare fps,settings,etc..If i dont see pilots in servers just like most are saying here.i either play single player or join the most populated one i can find and usually will fly for a bit, get bored and move on to another game.CloD does NOT have a meeting place!!
Il2 would NOT have survived 10 years without it.1st we had UBI lobby wich was an ok starting point for muiltyplayer experience.Then one day I found Hyperlobby and never looked back, not even once.In my opinion and this is "just" my opinion with all the support that HL has with the community CloD would be far more advanced and fixed and a lot more players if everyone would use a lobby or meeting place such as HL.Am i trying to endorse Hyperlobby? Yes i am.Lets give credit where it is due.Il2 would not have survived this long with out a community.Cliffs of Dover NEVER should have went with "Steam"...It "should" have went to the place where it belongs with a more dedicated community.And i am NOT just saying this because of myself being part of HL staff. "CloD" should have had hyperlobby on the box cover NOT steam.What it all comes down to is that CloD needs more than just a "server" list.it needs friends a common meeting ground, a place to thrive!


can i get an Amen??

FYI:hyperlobby is UP and READY to fly Dover.

Amen brother Woodstock, amen to that.

:cool:

I agree with this. HL may be ready for Dover, but Dover is not ready for HL. Until all the stuff that disconnects servers gets sorted out, adding HL into the loop again would just add another program to babysit to keep servers running. With that said, I'm looking forward to using HL again.

at this moment we have 5 servers up and running

+1

Steam may be something for the ego shooter kids. I am just too old for that.
I deleted Steam, because I felt it would make me mad. I hope they will rethink that policy before CloD is debugged so far, that I would like to give it another try.

The mother corporation 1C relies heavily on Steam (with its other releases). You can moan as much as you want, for 1C Steam is a good platform to publish things on without the hassle of having to print CDs and manuals. Publishers like such systems ...

I had a dream...
 

I had a dream... The CLoD would had replaced IL2 1946 a long time ago. I was really hoping that all the cheating in IL-2 1946 would have been stopped with punk buster or something.

I stopped playing IL2-1946 on multiplayer forums because I could never understand how I could be flying at 100% throttle , angle down at max speed and someone would just catch up to me shoot me down and fly by like i was doing 20kts. That got so old. It seemed I was always under powered and I adjusted everything as needed but I was always being out flown out sped all the time. I have no idea if people are hacking their aircraft or what in il2-1946 but that was something I thought would have been worked out.


The community as a whole should take care of the cheating, I would love to start playing either version again.

Not sure where you've been flying but my experience in 1946 was never anywhere close to what you're describing :eek:

i was flying on the popular HL servers...

Really they need some kind of anti cheat program... I am only saying that if me and 4-5 of my buddies would fly in a private server, we could take 15-20 minutes to shoot someone down.... get into a server on HL... it took like 30 seconds to get shot down. seemed like something was up.
