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.

I know F4 blows online. LOMAC isn't that great, I fly it btw. The others I'm going to have to take an educated guess at and say they don't even have a quarter of the numbers IL2 has online. I truely believe the one of the reasons IL2 remained so popular online is because people could fairly assume that there was not a plague of cheating going on because of mods/hacks.

Sniper,I am also not trying to flame here,so please do not take it as such: I have not seen a decrease in the players in hyperlobby since this started.There still seems to be a 1000 or so online when I fly.
Its a valid point though, does anyone think there has been a decrease online?

I didn't mean to say that there is currently a decrease online for IL2. I am afraid, however, if things continue the way they seem to be with no quality control or real server protection IL2 will end up as dead as those games mentioned, online.

A bit farfetched assumption! You must have an interest or curiosity for the hardware of that (WWII) era in order to buy and choose to play this sim on the hyperlobby. A normal night, like tonight (just checked!) we have about 350 in game and 100 in chat in Hyperlobby.
