Hmm this is disturbing. I only ever played IL2 1946 in Cockpit mode because it was the most emersive and fun. I have no trouble accepting the limitations of the console version that has been discussed so far but for me playing a realistic flight game without a cockpit is a total turnoff.

I was going to preorder but have held off because I suspected some disappointments would come up! Not to say I won't buy it period but I for one will be awaiting reviews before picking it up. Even if this turns out to be true, I'll probably buy it later on when its available pre-owned and cheap or something, then the issues won't bother me at all.

Well, that's it. If there isn't a definitive answer from Anton (by Saturday Aug 29) that either A: all/most fighters at least have some sort of cockpit or B: the situation will be corrected in a release patch, I will be heading down to GameStop and transferring my $5 preorder money to Call of Duty. There's no way I will be spending my very limited money (college is too expensive) on Il-2 without knowing for certain that I'll be getting a quality product. I'll also be encouraging the three friends of mine who preordered so that we could play as a flight do the same. Even if this all turns out to have been a mistake, it was still a MASSIVE fail in the PR department.

2:25 danneale: fire questions(not all at once!)
2:25 MARTIANS: yeh, go ahead, ask me
2:25 MARTIANS:
2:25 H_Lecter: is there a cockpit view for the german planes or not?
2:25 spunkyrakune: What game modes will be availaboe in MP?

Great relief here too. I take it as granted that there will be a playable BF109 with cockpit view. Everything else would really not make sense and I can't imagine any developer studio with such bad judgement.

This game is still everything I was dreaming of and I can't wait for it to be released

2:24 danneale: RawKryptonite -yes you can assign players to it
2:24 elneilios84: is there a real first person view in gun turrets on bombers?
2:24 danneale: yes you can fly ME262 in MP
2:24 Spotter5: sweet!

2:25 danneale: View for gun turrets is always 3rd person
2:26 RawKryptonite: MP Strike: do the base buildings respawn or are there a certain number to take out for a win? multiple areas?MP Strike: do the base buildings respawn or are there a certain number to take out?
2:26 danneale: RawKryptonite - No, in strike 1 player controls the plane (Flight, bombing, Turrets etc)
2:26 RawKryptonite: oops
2:27 RawKryptonite: no, I meant in game set up is there a required number of bombers. "each team must have ___ number of bombers flown"
2:27 danneale: DLC - plane and mission pack on 360 paid for, 800 points on 360.... on PS3 DLC combined into one pack also paid for... will be equivelent of 9.99 euros
