No I think it was implemented when Forgotten Battles arrived.

Stock Il2 just had scripted campaigns.

That's what I thought as well but then I thought "this game has been in development for a long time and there are no dynamic campaign at release".

That MIGHT mean:

1. They haven't even started work on one.
2. If they will release a dynamic campaign in an update, it might not be much to write home about since it's not something you do over a short period of time.
3. This time they have put A LOT of emphasise on the multiplayer.

As long as one of the components kicks *ss, I'm on!

Lets just wait and see.Im getting tired waiting though

No problem, scripted campaigns are more interesting IMHO.
I hope that the campaign isn´t too short.(probably it covers BoB day-by-day)

I'm not really surprised, its an element desired in the inital release but considering this is probably (hopefully) the first installment of a long running series rather than the complete game it can wait untill later in a patch or intoduced in 'IL2 cliffs of the battle of the bulge or whatever.' If there is a later that is.....

Yes - and in a dynamic campaign the 15:th of September might be a day with just a few recon planes appearing over England... Talk about immersion killer

Bring on a scripted campaign with all the correct attacks and let you follow the true flights of one of the more famous squadrons. Add some historic background with some images at the END of the day telling what really happened, but not before. That would be just awesome... In a dynamic campaign, what could possibly happen that would be more interesting than the reality accept if you could be the germans and have a strategic interface where you could control the targets etc and then fly the missions yourself. Keep pounding the radars and the airfields and see what happens? Then add the real production rate and pilot fatigue for the poor Spitfire pilots and see if you can get the invasion started That's another game though!

I am so afraid this is the case. If so, I don´t think that we can expect a decent (not to mention good) dynamic campaing anytime soon.

It´s a pity because IMHO dynamic campaings, in wich flying is just a part of managing the air battle (resources, supplies,etc), take the game to a higher dimension.

Other tan that, CoD looks great and I am sure we all will have a lot of fun with it.

Agree. No doubt it will be a blast either way and it's actually going to be released!
