I rather cope with the faults of the AI - which will at least fly everything I put it into without moaning and whining and demanding "fairness" - than waste my precious freetime on an online environment that doesn't give me anything ... except a headache.

OK for DF servers, but one cannot put in the same basket dogfight servers and coop/virtual wars. There is nothing better in the simulated world, imo, than the online experience with a squad. Never had more fun than flying online missions, with well known and trusted mates, against people sharing the same sportly and fair approach.

I've tried that as well ... Same issues as outlined above.

That is the part of the online experience I think would definitely appeal to me.
The 'each man for himself' mentality, not so much.

well, the 'good old times' of COOP onlinewars are over i guess.....

It was a blast the last 8-9 years
that was 95% of my onlineflying with classic IL2. Met a lot of very nice people of all nations on TeamSpeak too !

This greatly increases your chances of surviving in an online furball and increases your chances of a kill since the enemy may be more concerned with your wingmen than you for awhile. It also helps alot to be able to urgently let your flight know you have a bandit on your six and you will probably take a few hits and be rescued. The simplest online engagement totally blows the most complex offline one away soley for the fact that its you against a real "pilot" and not some AI jack-off. It can be daunting at first to step into multiplayer but it is completely worth it. Just remember, get in TS/Vent and USE IT! Let us know when you warming the engine, when your wheels are up and where you are at or going to be.


As for the complex CEM on any fighter plane, Bring it on!

Completely agree, this is exactly what i try to do when i have time to get into multi. It just needs setting a "slice" of time apart for flying because interruptions (eg, pausing mid-flight and coming back to the PC half an hour later) are not possible in multiplayer.

I cant wait to see all te types mentioned above.Why oh Why do we keep hearing p51 p47 Its getting very very annoying now.
I cant wait to see the lovely looking P51 and the power packing P47.I love the look and the history of these fine a/c,when i was 15 yrs old(im now 40) i made a "Royal Kit"of a p51 remote control,i do honestly love the look of the A/C.
I just mentioned history,Please gents lets let it take its course.
Not everything HAS to have an American involvement.
Take that how you wish,i dont mean to be rude in anyway.
Im well aware of the situation Britain was in in 1940/41 and im also well aware of the money and the hardware that followed after 42 but for gods sake its a bloody game.
I for 1 would love nothing more than a whole series made of the offensive into France just after the BoB,with all the new tactics and the new a/c,Spits,190s,etc.
That was a time in history when it was pivotal to go on the attack.
I cant wait for this game to develope into what we all want it to be,and it will be(at the moment 70%of the online(or offline)flyers cant even get the bloody thing working!!!!
Hope i dont get shot to peices for this(but im expecting,just like so many others in this forum i will)
I cant wait for the historically accureat Whirlwind, and the Lancaster and the Typhhon etc etc i want i want i want
