bobbysox I owe you an apology. For some reason I seemed to land in the wrong forum/thread, I don't know how. I was talking about IL-2 Cliffs of Dover.

I don't play BoSteel or BoP but as I'm here I'd like to answer your questions about on-line play in case it interests you and explain why BoS/BoP don't interest me. I believe they may be console games? Perhaps that's why they have lesser graphics and on-line limitations.

I said that a multiplayer that only supports 16 players is of absolutely no interest to me or I suspect anyone who wants to get involved in serious on-line campaigns.

I have played in PC multiplayer games for over 16 years, sometiimes involving over 400 players. I don't suffer lag because I have a reasonable PC and Broadband and am only limited in that respect by the server capability. If you want to fly serious PC multiplayer thats what you need and I guess the same goes for console games although I don't know who hosts them. If its one of the player's consoles then I understand why it isn't very capable.

If I played BoS or BoP, off-line play wouldn't interest me because it is too sterile and I prefer the challenge of intelligent opponents (as opposed to Artificial Intelligence).

Anyway I though I'd apologise and give you a peep at what's possible in the world of on-line play.

Have fun.
