Airfield locations?

[Hero]

The map in this game is hard to overview, So I was just wondering if anyone know the airfields or landing strip locations that are in this game?

100's. Way too many to list ;; oh no wait, I'm thinking of proper IL-2. It's ummm ... 1! Hawkinge. One or two missions will see you take off from another UK base (Benson is it?) but the single player (skirmish/training) portion has only 1 airfield. north-east of Dover, can't miss it as you dont get to see many friendly airbases within the game. (One single player mission has you visiting 3 ground points though).
The pointless multiplayer mode 'capture the airfield' maybe your thing though as the number of airfields are nearly doubled but since October, I've not managed to find a single match other than arcade!

I think there is five total? Two in England, One on the north eastern outskirts of Stalingrad (something like that), and One in Berlin. I don't think Korsun has one, but Italy has one on the coastline. You can easily find it if you follow the coast line on the map, where it's a straight line.

Actually there is 3 in England counting Manston. Its up on the north-east corner of the map and has a huge runway. Great for formation takeoffs too.

as far as i know, there is definately 3 in England as i can fly to all airstrips without using the map (Gotten too familiar with the landscape)

I know italy has one as does Stalingrad and Berlin, Korsun does have one BUT its next to impossible to land on it (Cannot tell you where though)

How many of these are present in the training maps?

Actually on the Normandy maps in the mission editor I've only seen about 6... Obviously Normandy isn't Britain but I bet a level for the BoB wouldn't have more than 10. (in fact to this day I've only seen a maximum of around 10 airfields on a map, and to be honest I don't recall ever seeing any map for the BoB in the mission editor)

Just making a point.

I'm not too sure I see your point here. That one Normandy map out of IL-2's 75 maps, has as many (or more) airfields as the entire BoP experience.
Like it or no, BoP was never designed as a full & immersive experience on the ground (or in the air IMO). Like every other arcade title, it wants you in the air, seconds away from the fight & once the last adversary is downed, it wants you 'back' out of there. No bad thing to some & I guess it's in keeping with the whole console experience.
With my point, I was talking about the whole IL-2 experience, not just the mission editor but even that (the full mission builder I take it you mean) has no less than 75 theatre maps, (that's before 4.09); each theatre having it's own list of airfields with some theatres having as many as 12 - 20 airfields. And this isn't even counting the masses of modded theatre maps of which there are now some fantastic BoB maps & even BoB campaigns written for them. You can find these B0B maps here, along with thousands of other files & addons. http://allaircraftarcade.com/forum/index.php

Just trying to help.

Actually I've had that website bookmarked for about a year now.

I won't disagree that 1946 is much more realistic (and immersive in some ways but not others) and altogether a much better flight sim the BoP.

All I'm saying is that IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 (unmodded) doesn't really have 'hundreds' of airfields... Maybe 'tens' would have fit better.
