= SOW ( Bob ) vs other scenarios. << Poll >>

[ElAurens]

Well the only thing SoW needs is more Curtiss aircraft.



Seriously I'd like to see the air war in China before 1941 and the AVG.

The hottest things in the air would be Hawk 75s or A5Ms.

Lots of other little known aircraft that have never been done in a sim to my knowledge.

However, our politically correct world, and kowtowing to the People's Republic means it will never happen. Hell, we can't even have Nationalist Chinese markings in the game, officially.

I can't wait for SoW, and to put it bluntly, I know it'll be a blast.

As far as later scenarios, I'd vote for North-Africa (MTO).
BoF I'd love to see, but I can see campaigners working on this battle with SoW when it's released (mostly everything needed for BoF will probably be there with SoW). If small-maps can be made, I can see areas 1:1 in scale with combat-areas in france being made (if these areas aren't already on the map).

+1

North Africa for me

[lbuchele]

I would like to fly everything in this gourgeous engine from BoB to Vietnam.

[BK_JG27_Treiber]

I want to see Spain; it's an undercovered campaign.

Now that would have to be a huge map! Let's hope the AVG aren't too tired fighting the Ki-43s (amongst others) before the Zekes arrive after their 8+ hour flight

Why pick -with BOB and Oleg we will eventually get them all ! After BOB I hope they add a Med map with the historic plane set. Malta -Italy - crete - North Africa-

Storm Of War - Battle For The Med !

Its interesting that at this point SCW/France holds a considerable lead.

I would not have expected that.

[heracles]

I think there's a growing insterest in SCW.

SCW is the unexplained (better say "unknown") factor of the equation that define Luftwaffe air warfare tactics in WWII.

Luftwaffe support doctrine, key element of the abused term "blitzkrieg", was improved over Spain's sky between 1936-1939. Also, "modern" air formation tactics like "rotte" was born at the heart of "Legión Condor".

So, I think it will be very interesting to set missions in this period and simulate tactics, thanks to the new great engine of SOW.

Cheers.

my "ideas" are:

after BoB (even it is not my personal favorite scenario, its is set, so....) it would be nice to get a first adon called like "Dieppe 42" or "Channel 42". No new map would be needed ( i still belive one of the mayor tasks in the SoW series is to build a map at the shown high standards..), perhaps just "modifications".

the pool of possible planes would look like this:
Hurricane Mk.IIc
Spitfire Mk.Vb
Spitfire F.Mk.IXc
Typhoon Mk.Ib
Whirlwind Mk.I
Mustang Mk.I
Boston Mk.III
B-17E

Bf109G-1
Fw190A-3
Do217E


after that a huge AdOn , called "Tobruk 42", as the main map the Cyreneika, an additonal of Malta and Sicily would be awsome - but most propably to much work.
A nice tactical scenario this NorthenAfrica one, with a lot of "mudmoving"
possible planepool

Bf109F-4/Trop
Bf109F-4/B/Trop
Bf110F-2
Ju87D-1
Ju88A-4

Mc202_VII
SM79

Hurricane Mk.IIc Vokes
Spitfire Mk.Vc Abukir
Kittyhawk Mk.III
P-40F
Boston Mk.III
Baltimore Mk.III

IF with Malta RN carrier operations would be awesome with Fulmar, Seahurricane (i guess a Martlet is a no go because its a Grumman) and Swordfish

[JVM]

AFAIAC, I would not worry too much: nobody remembers this little tidbit from Oleg 10 days ago?

Battle of Britain is because
- it wasn't modelled in Il-2.
- It is a good start for the new series that to expand with new titles based on BoB in both directions of historical period of time (more in future).

It may not be directly MG who is going to take care of some theaters but definitely projects seem to be floating around (yet to start or ongoing, I do not know yet)...
