Why would anyone bother playing online if it would be only to these silly maps?
I think they've confused Flight Sims with Unreal Tournament...

Why in earth don't they give us a reason to feel excited with this game?
Why does everything have to be so wrong?

Oleg, please do your miracle and sort this whole mess out, cause it's pitty to have wasted all these years for nothing.

Is this a joke? 35'

If it's a joke, somebody say OFFICIALLY it is.

That's just a simple arcade dogfight map, what did you expect? Switzerland in full detail as a dogfight map?

May be something that remember me i'm fighting the Battle of Britain.

However as i've already said, is no more a my problem. I hope fanboys could have more patiente than me.

No, but at least one dogfight map that can be used for online missions which are set in a historical context. Simple as that. Especially obvious when even the manual states that you should not use the 1:1 map for online gameplay.

Period.

I couldn't say it better in my poor english. Thank.

You must be joking, right?

Unless you're new to the IL-2 series and you don't know about maps like Moscow, Stalingrad, etc.
Big enough to play good online missions and not Unreal Tournament.

And you do understand that this game is about coops and not about arcade dogfights, right?

I sure hope we can use the 1:1 map in online matches.

That being said, does anyone of you remember the online maps in the original IL2? I do and they looked a lot like the ones that are apparently in CoD, many of them looking like they were taken straight out a real-time strategy game: symmetric islands around a central point and what not.

It didn't stop IL2 being successful and it won't stop CoD either. What matters is having at least one REAL map and a sim that works well for most PCs, after that we can have as many silly maps as we like and it won't harm the game one bit.

I can understand people being worried about the frame rates.

I can understand people being worried about what kind of PC they need to run this.

I can understand people having different preferences about copy protection, Steam or no Steam, Solidshield DRM or not, what is more important between graphics and gameplay, DX11 or no DX11, i really can.

I can even understand that some people think they'll be able to fly this at maxed settings right off the bat, however mistaken they might probably be even after the first round of optimizations has taken place.

But i seriously can't understand not buying the game over what is an optional map for some quick online skirmishes that you can never play on if you don't want to. It's like saying "i won't buy this because it has no-cockpit view" when i can very easily disable that view and use the realistic cockpit view.

I'm not saying you have to agree with me, it's your opinion and you are entitled to it. It's just that of all the reasons i've ever seen for not buying the game, this is the only one that has actually made me laugh out loud in real life. Sorry, i really mean no offense to anyone, but i just can't help it...i'm actually laughing like a little boy in front of my monitor right now :-P

Hey Blackdog_kt kalispera :)

We don't care about the silly small maps, as long as we have a big realistic map that can be played online.
That's all we ask and please don't tell me that online experience will have to stay in these silly maps!!!

Ok, someone pls help me, what it this?

I see a map with parts of England and France, location of the Battle of Britain.
And some little maps for Aracde dogfights.

Maybe I don't read it but where is the sentence with: "...there is no 1:1 Map in MP..."?

I don't read it, someone help me, pls :???:
