IL2 and Sound Modding

[jasonbirder]

I'm not trying to flame here Jason. I'm just asking. I think its a viable question. What are the numbers compared to IL2? You didn't answer.

A sensible question deserves a sensible answer…
Though to be fair I can’t understand how you can describe Falcon 4.0 online as “blowing”. I’ve flown it online for the best part of 6 years in various incarnations and it’s the best online experience I’ve ever had…I assume it’s the fact that competitive “force on force” engagements are very much secondary to co-operative missions that has coloured your opinion.
Obviously IL2 is by far the most widely played game on Hyperlobby…but that’s simply because use of Hyperlobby isn’t part of the online culture in other games…they are played through dedicated or squadron servers or through peer to peer sessions…so to say very few people play online through Hyperlobby, is a very different thing from saying very few people play online full stop.
IL2 is popular on Hyperlobby because it lends itself exceptionally well to that environment…it lacks a steep learning curve and is relatively straightforward to learn and play and the very broad base of flyables from all nationalities mean it is ideal for competitive dogfights.
