ROF thrived because it was a new and relatively modern WW I release.

Here's a novel ,idea start in the MTO, sell me a twin egined Italian torpedo attack aircraft or a P-40, Gladiator etc. The participants are many and varied, RAF ,USAAF,AU NZ ,Italy and the Luftwaffe. A theater where the diversity of missions can include land and sea interdiction, convoy escorts etc. A campaign where both sides depend on the logistics of seaborn supplies to continue the fight.

Not another version of the 109 to fly the 7 miles to the front for more of the same old, same old.

The PTO would be the ultimate !!

You're contradicting yourself quite a bit here, moaning about flight distances in the East, and then stating the PTO would be the ultimate. In the PTO, flight distances were more often than not, huge.

I for one welcome the Eastern Front back to the il2 series, i'm also a fan of the RoF series and have always thought a WW2 sim would be excellent with their engine.

Could anyone detail to me in a PM what exactly i've missed, why this has all happened and why Luthier has left? Been away for a few months.
