Images of maps of IL2 COD

Thank you very much. We aswer ourself to our questions buying the game. Great.

Malta would have been probably a better choice considering we would have fight over the sea or over a very limited island.

Now we have these ridiculous maps for the online game, because we have The Battle of Britain map but almost probably we could never play it online.

I'm excited now.

If we can't play the BoB over a BoB map,I'll give up now!
The most advanced combat flight sim to date,flown only over arcade maps on line? I cannot believe that will be the case at all.

Lets think logically about this for a second, the only reason these maps are included in my opinion would be that due to the size of the BOB map not everyone would wish to have to fly for a long time to get over the enemy base ergo they have created small maps for quick battles.

Does that make any sense?

[ElAurens]

Yes Krupi, you are making sense.

Not every player wants the kind of realism that most on this board aspire to.

For some, quick action and short flights provide their fix.

What could be wrong with that? Nothing of course.

Choices are a good thing for all of us that play the sim.

We have to answer or speculate ourself. CoD Manual, Page 102.

"If you are creating an online mission, we highly recommend using an online
map. Trying to fly an online mission on a large offline map such as English
Channel - 1940 will take up a lot of resources and may lead to sluggish
performance on slower machines.".

Time ago they said they'd release tools to create our own maps for online...

[150GCT_Veltro]

Massive ongoing play with 128 players for me does mean "Guys, you'll have a chance to play The Battle of Britain in dynamic online war, as you did in the last 10 years for IL2, and better.".

Now, tell me what sense will have to fly an He-111 formation over these maps?

Calais at least......

We'll take Stukas to bomb the jurassic park's vulcan instead of Biggin Hill.

The game load and is much quicker than IL2 4.10 managing huge maps.

At low quality or full quality, you got the same speed/FPS. At least in my computer.

We'll have to test it with multiple human pilots, with and without AI.

if the shown are the, in the manual stated, online maps, i am very dissapointed !!
i would have expected smaler parts or the huge campaign map in a 1:1 scale but with fewer objects.
like Dover-Calais and Isle of Wight-Cherbourg !

espacially the distances in a Dover-Calais map would be short enough for instant dogfight pilots

but these shown online maps are a bad joke IMHO !

lets hope the huge map can be used online actually, otherwise it will take some time till serious onlineservers will give a nice battlefield for CoD
i guess, IL2'46 will still have a long live online
