Not going to tell you!! Ner-ner-ni-ner-ner!! :grin:

But it's quite a way south of Moscow.........

OK! be like that!

Hmmm! Near Samara?

Try 3000ft, looking south down the Volga, over the centre of the city of.......Volgograd. :grin:

Which used to be called.......................:confused:

Hmmm! That would tie in with the operational testing of the LA-5 in September 42'. I could live with that! :)

Yup. Imagine a 'combined ops' sim at this location!

Of course, there may be multiple maps in the sequel, maybe Leningrad, Stalingrad and Moscow........

Beginning to warm to this idea. ;)

Battle of Kursk ?

there is no indication from 1c that any ground vehicles will be realistic enough to create a worth while tank sim anytime soon

nice idea for about 5 yrs down the road maybe :)

Their goal may not be a tank sim, but something like DCS Combined Arms where vehicles arent hardcore simmed but are controllable enough to have a more dynamic battlefield. The focus of any IL2 should be the quality of the aircraft and their FM, the addition of vehicles while cool, should only be as added value to the aircraft and battlefield...

Of course this is only guessing...

@BlackSix
I think you are as frustrated about this situation as all of us are.
I'm sorry you have to deal with your own frustration and at the same time communicate with us, frustrated customers.

Let's hope it all improves soon for all.

My thoughts exactly. We tend to shoot the messenger, when he is simply being loyal to his company as a professional should be. BlackSix's English is far better than my Russian, he does an excellent job under the circumstances and shows admirable restraint in his communications with us. Here's hoping the upcoming patch remedies some immediate concerns and paves the way to further progress -- and makes HIS job much more satisfying!

Totally agree Snapper,BlackSix is caught between a rock and a hard place,however his company is in my personal opinion in the process of commiting corporate suicide with any sequel that they think will be successful if they don't sort out this mess with COD asap.

We on this forum may only be a very small snapshot of what is happening within the world of 1C,but you only had to read those posts on Friday and the subsequent days after to realise the big picture that is slowly closing in on this company.

Time is running out,people's patience is running thin,draw your own conclusions,the sad fact is I don't think they realise the brevity of the situation.They could have at the very least on Friday released some sort of patch to address the appalling flight models that exist within the RAF aircraft.

The ball is in their hands,and I hope they are successful in turning things around for us but also for them.
