I know anyone crewing for me more than once would value their virtual lives enough to go out and buy the full version. Seriously! I'm that bad!!!!!!

Yes, that would work too. We could get our FPS friends to join in as gunners

The fact is we do not have (yet) an equivalent of the Tiger Moth on the German side. This would be either a Fw-44 or a Bucker Jungmann (there were many others but those ones being several still airworthy are easily accessible for proper reproduction).
There was a request by Luthier years ago to define which German trainer would be made if time would allow...I am not sure time is allowing because I did not hear of it anymore!
Another issue is that training on the German side happened in Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia...not in France on the front line...so we would not have a proper representation of a German training base.

Interesting, i didn't know the Bf108 was so fragile. I know about the other trainers you mentioned, but maybe we could be cutting some slack until there is a proper representation.
You're definitely right about the training not being done on the frontline. However, in the same vein as before, if we wanted to sidestep that issue we could suggest a smaller map (for example, the smaller DF maps in IL2 like Ardeness) that would roughly represent a scaled down portion of Germany around a major training base.
In my opinion at least, it would be worth it if it meant getting more people in contact with SoW.
Now, as for what Sasqon says, just like most of my other suggestions i don't expect such a feature (a "buddy training" installation) to be in on release day, not by a long shot. However, if time permits and they liked it they could do it sometime in the future.
It's true that most of us here will have no use for such a feature since we'll be getting the sim anyway and thus, it's not a first priority request. I'm sure that even the developers would rather work on something that will be used by the majority of the "confirmed" buyers at this stage, than spend time on coding what is essentially a marketing tool for the less interested part of the gamer community (ie, we can't be sure if the sales generated will be enough to justify the work at this stage).
It's just a nice way to generate free advertising so that Oleg's team benefits in the short term from increased sales and we benefit long term by keeping them in the business, something to think about for the future once the important parts are done
Again, thanks to the developers for the awesome updates and the community for the intelligent exchange of ideas and information.
