planespotter pretty much said what I would say myself as well sdcruz.
IMHO, the lack of a campaign map is the biggest problem.
People like to think that they can do the difference in war with their actions.
So far, Oleg has stated that it is unrealistic to think that a pilot can change the course of a campaign and I agree.
But why not giving us more options for the whole army of our preference?
Why not combining single flying with some strategy touch?
So many of us are lovers of strategy and besides IL-2 we play strategy games like Hearts of Iron & Civ4 and we would love to have the option to fly a campaign where we'll have something more to think besides "kill those easy-to-kill-AIs".
I've been playing this game since its release and believe it or not I've tried many times to like its offline mode. It was just impossible. And I just run to HL to fly in one of the online wars where I have stats that matter (since I compete with other human) and some map where I see the results of each mission I'm flying.
If BoB provides a good offline mode, it can double its clients IMO.
