[Yossarian]

There does never seem to be any games to join.

The way I got round it was to add a lot (40) friends to my list from people here on the forums. So we can invite each other to games. This does seem to be the best method of getting games.

You can add xYOSSARIANx if you like and I will invite you into games if I see you online. Then after every game you play send out a friend request to all the other players. This helps to build up a fairly decent group of people to play with. Oh and we(my friends) play all the game modes on realistic difficulty.

I manage to play now most evenings from 8pm-2am (UK time) in a room with 8-12 people in (from the US, Euro and Australia zones). I am generally in a party with 8 people who play together all night and we always invite the people who just played with us to rejoin a new game straight after.

You can also add the silver member here 'BirdsofPrey1C' and look through their friend list for people that have IL2-BOP.

Once you've found a decent little community you will not be short of games. The dogfighting online is EVERYTHING I always wanted from a WWII flying game, it's a real shame it is so hard to find a game if you're not playing with friends/party.
