as someone who was involved in the VOW team in the past, i cant imagine that the BoB scenario will give a good COOP online war IMHO...

we have to wait what possibilities of scripted dogfightservers CoD will give. I guess thats the way to at least play the BoB scenario.

and in total, the COOP online wars in IL2 are not completly over, but their 'good' times are

anyway, i will still use the game a lot in the FMB like in the past in Il2.

at least the FMB should run ok

This is funny Dover-free "Cliffs of Dover". Planes mysteriously stolen into bermuda triangle, where all is islands and water, water everywhere.

Well, I kinda disagree, although I doubt that I'll ever gonna work in an online war again.

A war like VOW or VF is easily doable in this map/scenario and I think that we can see some fantastic scenarios, as long as we're ready to accept the possibility of invasion of either side to enemy's territory

What we need is:
1) Realistic online map (the big map please)
2) New "blood" of programmers/administrators, who will develop these new online wars

Anyway, first of all we need a game...playable!

They should add the Netherlands. It's a nice country and relatively small map. There were dogfights too during WWII and makes bomber runs into Germany possible.

Time ago we flew a wonderfull campaign with Chanon's BoB, a SEOW campaign with a massive players involvement, and without many problems because the map was very good for this. We have bombed London several times with big bomber formations.

So now CoD is (seems to be if we prefer) a big step backward, a totally nonsense. If the landscape is a so big problem, Malta would have been a better choice for a very similar campaign (but with more water).

The online maps are a toally nonsense in CoD, really a bad joke if the Channel will not be playable as i think.

We were waiting finally for something special for the online wars, the definitive step forward. Now tell me what should we think after looking the Jurassic map? We'll play it in a massive ongoing play with 128 players?

Really i would like an explanation here because is quite unbelievable to me.

http://il2sturmovik.ubi.com/cliffs-o.../key-features/

Join a 128-player jump-in/jump-out multiplayer mode where battles can last hours, days or even weeks.

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.


So one of the most important feature for the IL2 community for the last ten years (the online war), is higly recommended to be played in the Jurassic style map?! Come on!?

I think that the bottom line of this is we need a smaller historical map for online. I hope they release something in the next updates.

Yes, yes, i forgot about Rotterdam. Was even before the BOB and i think the Spit? Would make a nice online map (smaller than London ) and the Heinkels are flyable. Unlike for real, this time the Brits got the smell of Axis plans and send all that was flyable at that time to save Rotterdam from being destroyed.

Warming up for the BOB, so to say.

Still waiting for an Ubi confirmation of my cancelled order.

Meanwhile some nice shoots from Jurassic.
