Have we got any Active Clod Squads??

[VO101_Tom]

I am flying regularly, two other member monthly with couple occasions, there are not more. I hope so, this will change (we have 17 active members, who play with different games regularly). They said, it would be bought (this means a new PC most to them), if there would not be this much bug, and there would be some kind of on-line war. Dogfight servers very few people liked it from us.

On-line war, and chat (like Hyperlobby). This brings the squadrons, pilots, together. These are missing from CloD for me. Forum and ingame chat is not enough, you knew the others much better in Il-2.

I'm the only BlitzPig that flys online anymore at all, and that is pretty rare really. Most have just become bored with IL2 altogether. 10 years of the same thing can do that.

I don't fly Clod at all except to check the latest patch performance, when one is released, still not good enough to bother with.

The most organized thing we do is play ArmA2 Combined Ops once a week.

We had high hopes for Cliffs of Dover, but alas, the extended development cycle will probably spell the end of the Pigs, at least as a flight sim oriented group.

If CloD can get to a playable state before the end of the year, then things might change for us, but there will never be 10+ Pigs online at the same time ever again.

Thanks for the replys lads.

ElAurens I'm sure your sort something out fella, join another squad if need be?
I'm guessing everyone is in the same boat, vert few members are able to run Clod due to the bugs etc so everyone's waiting.

I have to agree having a lobby makes a community, and certainly helps with squad participation..hopefully one day soon were have a lobby for this game.

I like objective based missions cuz you know where to be and where the action is but to be honest I don't mind just hooking up with squad members/flyers and winging, just as much fun

Just hoping we see this game improve and do it quick enough that the squads we have here participate and haven't give up on it.

Nothing better seeing a few squads on both sides fighting one another on big objective based maps.

I can invision good things, just hope it happens

~S~

Ze-Jamz, this is a very revealing thread which I hope will stay clean and on topic.

I know only about 8 guys have posted hereso far but its the same story, something like 1-2 players of squads that would probably be around 10-15 strong at least. Ours has 17 'active' and we used to put up 10-12 regularly.

Whilst the servers are not particularly active at he moment - although one or two have hit numbers around 50 plus - it tells me that we can expect to see perhaps ten times as many on line once all the bugs are sorted.

I think its important to keep that kind of positive thinking alive while some are consgning CoD to the bin.

But please guys, don't push the thread off topic.

The very same thing happened to me and my squad.

Nearly all of them bought COD, but no one wants to fly it in the current state and as we are more of a coop squad, it has little to offer, even when the multiplayer bugs get squashed. We now play Arma2 on a regular basis.

To be honest the release of CLOD in its awful state as done nothing but damage to online squads, it as split them down the middle or for some members they have just simply stopped flying, the game as been a community killer. The guys that I fly with out of 12 of us that would regulary fly Il2 on hyperlobby theres only 3 at best that give CLOD any time, the rest have simply stopped flying.

Gonna have to agree. Our members talks trash about it on our own forums and this one constantly. But even in it's current state, MP, IMO is much better than any other sim out there. But having been in the FMB quite a bit, I'm very biased because I know just how much this puppy is capable of. Other sims don't hold a candle in that regard besides the old one. When will it "get there"? Who knows. But I have no doubt that one day it will do everything that was promised. Lets just hope it's sooner and not later.

Always on your six... in a flat spin

ATM I fly regular sorties with the fanboy's public enemy No1 and 2, or Tree and Furbs as 90% of the members (I.e. The non fanboy population) here know them as .

lol, it is good flying with you mate, though we all have our frustrations!! And it goes to show that when people talk we soon realise we all have the one thing in common, we are flight sim geeks!!
