in the old IL2 COOP onlinewars there where seldom more than 20 players in one mission, ok, bolstered in numbers by AI controled planes
For a dogfight kind of war, 32 player max is notvenough IMHO, and to call it MassiveOnlinePlay
I guess time will tell!
But if it will be 'just' airquake between fighters- its no game for me.
