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

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.

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

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)...

[JG53Frankyboy]

actually , as long Maddox will stay with the idea of releasing "scenarios" , all is welcome

i just have my doubts about any future Pacific carrier stuff , because of the Grumman "affair".

[tagTaken2]

Two of the options, BoB and Korea are already happening. North Africa/Med is quite possibly next (not sure what's up with Battle for Moscow- anyone have good information?).

SCW would be great, really enjoyed the Il-2 Campagne Espana. But the number of plane makes involved, in small quantities, makes this almost unviable to produce, especially for the number of people interested (no Mustang? No thanks!).

I'd like to see high-fidelity Flying Tigers (easy to do planes, recognition etc) and an expanded Pacific.
Even if just one battle at a time was modelled (Midway- ocean map not hard to make, Pearl Harbour) and sold, there'd be plenty of buyers, and new planes to add to the set.
Or- as above- go by timeframes, like East Front 1941, or Battle of Kursk.
