German cockpit reply thread

[David603]

Anton, while you are on here can you tell us which planes do have cockpits?

[manintrees]

The rational behind the cockpit decision is fine with me. I think we were probably given too much info for our own good. These types of decisions happen with all games and we have now been privy to the process. Anton simply gave us more than we were going to get and I am happy with that. I will get the DLC free or not and am looking forward to the release date.

I'd like to thank anton for the information, I can imagine this is the type of information that the developers knew had to come out sooner or later, but were dreading the time the subject arose, well it has and it has been a bitter pill for many of us to swallow, particularly those who love to fly Axis aircraft in IL2.

I do wish the team every success with the game and its subsequent sales, I'm sure it will attract a new fanbase on the console format, myself - I'll be holding off purchasing until those pits are available, I spent 95% of my PC time in the 109 and 190 cockpits, without them the game won't be the same to me, call it anal/silly - whatever, its what I enjoyed in Il2 , and that is what needs to be there for me to enjoy the title.

In the meantime there is Forza 3, OF Dragon Rising to fill the time - I'll be keeping an eye on what happens with BOP though

Just goes to show that there is a lot of disinformation here, the twitter guy said last week there would be cockpits.
Wanting to fly the 109 and 190 primarily I am very dissappointed BUT will still buy the game knowing that they will eventually be released.
Does this mean those of us who will fly german planes online will have an advatntage? Not having a cockpit to block your view would certainly seem like an advantage and this to me for now is more dissapponiuting then anything else. I want to fly strictly with the cockpit (this is a sim right?) but I'll be damned if I'm going to get owned by somebody flying "superman view". I'm assuming there will a setting online where we all have to use the same view? Hoping.

Not the end of the world still super pumped to get home and try the demo but yeah REALLY looking forward to the DLC cockpits.

I haven't read this, but could it be he was thinking about future?
Doesn't matter in any case.
Believe me, I know better.

Yep.

In any case, I believe, it will change rather soon (with DLC).
The real alternative was only to wait the same amount of time until the would be German planes at all, or even the game release (the last - wasn't the real option. That would be violation of agreement, cancelling the deal, our bankruptsy, and other bad things, no kidding).
