I think we have to stop thinking hyperlobby numbers of 1000 people on multiple servers, and start thinking in terms of RoF numbers, with 40-50 people playing on one or two servers.
It is sad, but I think thats the way its going to be.

I believe that the reason behind this is mostly because of the high end specs necessary to play the game decently. Considering the buggy game quality of the moment and the aforementioned high pc specs, few people are getting in CoD and still playing Il-2. Things will change in time, but it will be a troubled, long one.

It's pretty depressing. i only play MP and only bought the game due to the 128 player servers stuff that was said prior to release.

I assumed the IL2 community was large and would move in force to CloD, seems i was wrong, shame, the game could be so good. But without a community behind it for me its worthless.

Multi player is so badly broken in terms of sound, losing connection and no co-op play that we really are lucky to find anyone else online, once these things get fixed in the next year or two it will improve.

A community grows, this is not IL2 1946, this is a new start with a new community and it will take some time until the people can look through the veil of negativity and find the good stuff.

The problem is, tree, with posts like yours there are quite a few people which dont even try to find something good, they think: hey, there is a guy who already tried everything and found it wanting, i'll wait until it is fixed before i try.

As there are a few, very outspoken, negative posters here, trying to weave the veil of negativity, they give each other a artificial sincerity.

As the devs are working on the patch, why do you critisize for taking the time to do it right, not again a quick shot from the hip, trying to pacify the ungrateful parts of the community?

Don't try to deceive us and yourself, regardless of the state of this sim, you will always find something negative to point out!

Just "to make it better", of course.

Better to have a broken sim getting better then no sim at all.

I would love to play on multiplayer,but that would mean having to give up all the superb mods that we have been given,especially Jafa's sound mod,and Big Pickles weapon sound mod,sorry but could'nt do without those now.

To play this sim with the wooden sounds that it came with would be sacrilege,once we are given the freedom by Steam to play this sim how 'we' want,then maybe,but I don't think that's gonna happen.

I love multiplayer,to fight against a real human in a dogfight is fantastic,but I want to have all the goodies too,that make the immersion that more real.Besides the multiplayer on COD also needs a BIG fix in it's current state for me it's too broken.

It's a down right travesty that after paying for this sim we can't play it how we would like.I therefore lay this blame fully on Steam's doorstep,you're killing our gaming!!

It is Luther and Co. who decide what mods count as cheats (not Steam/Valve). If MG green-light a mod then it won't trigger a V.A.C. ban.
