I remember when starting out with Il2. I exploited every FMB feature possible. Worked on campaigns and missions for hours on end. I spent three years just enjoying the things I could do with IL2 on the Kuban map.
Lock ON devs have worn out the Crimea map and still keep adding.
Someone mentioned the map has expanded into the Kuban. Since I don't do the Lock On I wouldn't know for sure.
What I'm saying is... there is plenty that can be done for a long time everyone will enjoy. One quality map, a good FMB and improved AI will make the BOB a greater starter package, and the improved programming tools in the FMB and AI will be awesome.
I know the plane screamers will start immediately, along with the mappers.
They have a cup that will never be filled. Look at all the constant barrage of whines on the TD threads for aircraft. Always people wanting new aircraft. I doubt most of the whiners give a rat's behind. The just think they want something, until the get it. They spend a couple days with it and move on to other wants.
I think aircraft should be $old in packets by war theatre with the opposing forces aircraft from the same time period. Then people can put their money where their mouth is... and actually do something with the added aircraft. Maybe the inclusion of a couple maps and some ground objects could round out the package.
Actually, this might be a good revenue producer and Oleg could still sell addon editions. LOL
