Patch bringing people out of the woodwork.
 

Just had some awesome TB over dover and stalingrad on sim mode with people I have never seen before. Very fun with 20 minute matches with nobody dropping out of game. Large room with 9+ people.

yep. that was a cool teambattle. u have choiced well, not limited the ammo. ^^

Its all good at the moment, had a great match with a few forum reg's last night. Had to stop playing as I'd had a few too many drinks and was struggling! But Its like the game's been reborn. Looking forward to some epic Sim matches tonight hopefully.

I Had a nightmare flying the Spitfire XIV last night. Is it just me, or has the FM totally changed? I'm having to really lower the sens just to keep her stable.

I really haven't noticed anything.

Really? Maybe its just me... I've been flying the LA-5FN a lot lately, and maybe I've just gotten used to throwing the plane around with out having to worry about spinning out (that bird is seriously hard to spin, even at full sensitivity)

The Spits have always been about 6 notches down on elevator sensitivity to avoid the spins. I agree about the LA5FN...is that what you use in the second to last campaign mission? I remember getting there on sim and thinking "wow, this is the plane to use"...I guess the armament put me off though cos I'm much better at flying than I am at shooting.

I see more players online now playing Il2 BoP, also, I notice many more posts and new threads now :)

Aint it great! Every game I hosted last night got 6-10 players in 5 or 6 minutes. I knew it was getting late when I could hear French and German coming out of my speakers and I knew EU was online. Looked at my cell and sure enough it was 5 AM! Tired as shit today. Got in a traffic jam on the way to work and ended up an hour late (so I told the boss!). Haha! Cheers to strike with bombers everwhere!!!

Sounds like the long wait was worth it after all.:) I'll be very nice and patient waiting for the 360 patch if we get the same kind of player burst.

Im looking forward to the patch on 360 so I can take a proper crack at unlocking the extra aircraft. Some of the requirements pre-patch are a bit to steep for me, so the requirement reduction for unlocks is a nice carrot to keep me flying

I've noticed a big increase in activity on this forum as well since the patch's release.

Yeah tell me about it, The other night i looked at my friends list and the majority were playing BOP instead of MW2, i grinned ear to ear :grin:

hmm i dont see a increase in realistic y am i like the master of the least popular game mode?

i like realistic too. the target cam in cockpit view rocks. but in sim, it feels a little bit slower. im not so stressed in sim mode. im getting old... ;)

nerving for me is to play arcade , to get the loadouts and other trophies. 100 kills with fw190 on arcade. pfffff... this was dumb.
