Ouch! It's official, no dynamic campaign.

Well, isn't IL2 Cliffs of Dover multiplayer the new, "dynamic campaign, " if you will? What need is there of a dynamic campaign when you can have a persistent campaign online, that can go on for weeks or longer, against real people? Seems a lot more exciting than going against AI.

Because there are people who have either not the time or inclination for multiplayer, including myself.

To say I am disappointed that there's no dynamic campaign upon release would be an understatement. However, I am not surprised, especially considering Luthier's recent hinting of a love story in the campaign. I can't really see how that might happen in anything other than a static, scripted campaign format.

For now, I'll just hope that we'll get a nice dynamic campaign at a later date, as was the case with Forgotten Battles. Frankly, for campaigns, I prefer plausible dynamically generated "what if" scenarios in historical settings over strict recreations of actual battles. For me, the latter is better for "Single Missions" like IL-2 had. Let the campaign begin with whatever resources and manpower were available to Britain and Germany in the summer/autumn of 1940 and then let a nice, robust campaign generator allow the chips to fall where they may.
