Many good players even entire squads disappeared from Hyperlobby. And I still can not figure out why. I hope they will come back and rebuild the hard-core player community on the release of BoB.
Likewise, most players in this forum and ubi forums should be arcade players. So I'm afraid your idea will not be welcome here, Xilon.

A lot of people seem to blame the mods for that, but to be totally honest its probably just that the game is 10 years old and that is an incredibly long time to play a flight sim online. People just moved on to other things.
Personally I play offline, without mods (the only addons are Il2 Stab and Il2 Mat) with Speedbar disabled, HUD disabled, chat disabled, icons disabled but map turned on and try to fly the full missions in formation while trying to protect my AI squadmates as if they were real people and not die. But that is my personal choice, its not better or worse than how someone else chooses to play the sim.
