Hmm yea, but the main problem is NOBODY getting the kill atm (exept some times) when the player crashes, wich happens Fast if you damage a wing greatly or having intense dogfights tree level.

Its like being a sniper in BF1943 Headshot or no kill.

And its to bad anyone hardly plays sim.

Yeah I didn't consider part? But I have gotten some kills online, not much because the first two were against my friend, and his plane spun in. The last one though, I did get a kill.

And I'm in the same boat, it's just been me and my friend playing sim. But he's been working (same place I work).

Very few people will actually buy this game. The game is very, very niche, and appeals to very, very few people. I was going to buy it, but as we got close to release I lost interest in it, and decided not to.

^ I think a good amount of people will actually buy this Dennis.

Currently my multiplayer experience has been much, much better than what other people have reported here. A lot of good things, but some bad things as well:

1- I have a hard time finding matches, the most players I've ever been in a dogfight with is 6. Most player on team battle was 4 . I have yet to find a match of capture airfield or strike, but I haven't been searching that hard yet.

2- When I do find a match however, people will score kills at least once or twice every few minutes (my record is 7 kills). Usually I guess it just depends on the players you are playing with.

3- I have encountered only 2 people who crashed just so I wouldn't score a kill. Most other crashes were from damaged planes and occasional spinning. I do agree however, there should be a penalty for crashing or something of the sort. (the worst part is the number of deaths/crashes isn't even factored towards a players score; a player with 3 kills and 20 deaths is apparently doing better than someone with 2 kills and 1 death)

4- I will also agree that this game won't sell as much as other games being released soon (no surprise here), but I still think a good enough amount of people will buy it. I have heard people say it will be a 'silent hit', but we won't know for sure until a few weeks or more.

6- I have encountered no bugs in MP or SP at all yet, and I have only gotten lag once or twice during MP (and even then it wasn't that bad, usually only for a second or two).

5- About the title of this thread- It should be changed to 'No one plays it online'. The game's great.

So then tell me, from what my Gamestop told me, they got about 100 or so copies, all of which are now completely sold out. Not one single copy of Il-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey is at my local Gamestop? So now tell me "Mr. Economics"? Why would a game, with little advertising that I know of, in the city of Los Angeles be sold out?

Could it possibly be that you were wrong, and that even though it is a niche genre, it can still sell very well? (You don't have to say it in every damn post you make. WE KNOW ITS NICHE!)

I don't think you were ever going to buy it. You've been nothing but a troll since you've been on here. Why are you investing so much time and energy making pointless comments on a forum for a game that you obviously don't care about? If you dislike the game so much, then why are you still here?
