Current Player Numbers ?

[jerjabs]

I was wondering what the current player numbers are? My friends and I live in California, are there people playing all the time?

Are players of this game leaving for the newer Wings of prey?

Thanks!!!

We'll give you the benefit of the doubt and just assume you were joking.

basically... during the day, any given day, (till around 10PM) there's usually 300-500 people online, there's 64 player servers that are usually pretty full... at night (11PM-3AM) it dwindles down to around 100-150 people online any given night... then it starts picking back up as the aussies and asian community logs in... either way, there's always someone to shoot down.

and wings of prey is not a flight sim, its an arcade game, nobody who likes IL2 would leave for it, because tis a totally different genre of game.

I live in BC canada, so it'll be the same time zone.

So in all honesty, would a bunch a new fighter game players get our asses handed to us over and over and over in this community?

What exactly do we need to purchase to be completely up to speed with the multplayers aspect of this game?

basics are 1946 + 4.08m + 4.09m, we're not allowed to discuss mods here, so download hyperlobby at www.hyperfighter.sk and ask the community itself

yea ur gonna get ur ass handed to you by the pros, but don't get frustrated by it, cause it doesn't matter how good u are, there's always good and bad nights.... this game has a very shallow but long learning curve, u can get into it fairly quick, within a couple weeks, but to really get good at it can take years, and depending on ur in-born tallent, you might never get to be one of those guys that people say "gotta watch out for this guy" but practice will yield results, and you will get kills, no matter how bad you were when you started.

but... the main thing is u have fun doin it.

Are 4.08m and 4.09m patches or extra expansion games we need to buy?

[AKA_Tenn]

just patches.

I would like to try MP at some point but at the moment quite happy to cut my teeth on SP before I do. I get the impression that MP will be pretty tough and 'realism' settings fully implemented so I am (slowly) learning to adapt to them in campaigns and SP missions with AI at ACE. Didn't know about Hyperlobby so thanks for the link and I will download it and read the relevant info. Hopefully, I will find a few sessions suitable for IL2 novices or with other newbies...
