Plane unlocks in single player - now more relevant than ever

[simfex]

Also completely on your side. This game is great, not the single player itself, it is too easy and not enough real. But the multiplayer could be phantastic if there would be players online. So many people have loaded the demo so it can not be that only 5 people bought this game. I hate it, when a game like this goes the bad way. So many guys played IL2 Stormovik on PC why now so less on console. What is the mistake, what is wrong with it ?!!
I see a large,very large potential in this game, hope you too and I hope 1C is able to push this game on top where it should be. To all the players in the air...if you need cannon fodder, take me, I have no problems with beeing shot down a hundred times, but ......stand up and fight.(in realistic mode)

Hey guys, just letting you know that Pavel (one of the IL-2 game designer) has replied to the 'partner' thread of this on the official forum and says that something will be done. They're not sure what yet, but it's great news nonetheless . Was very impressed by their responsiveness - there are some great answers to questions about Strike there as well.

Great news! If they were to unlock all the aircraft for SP training at completion of the SP campaign/training missions that would solve the problem.

The Trophy could be left for unlocking the aircraft though MP?

Give it time CW - also, most people online play arcade or realistic, so no worries there.

In terms of the MP trophy, I think it's silly leaving it as is, because the number of games online at the moment means it's probably one of the hardest trophies I've seen to get, particularly if you're in a non EU/US timezone and not nocturnal. It's also necessary to get the Soviet, Allied and Axis aircraft, or training missions trophy until after you've unlocked it - which means that the issues with online are effectively locking out around 10% of available achievements/trophies other than to the hardcore fans who purchased it and played it to death in the first week or so of release.

too be honest I think the developers have gone a little overboard with the online achievments and plane unlocks.

Ive never been a fan of too many online achievements.
I know devs want to encourage people to play online but I find that achievments and unlocks dictate what modes gamers play and how they play them.

a few online achievments I dont mind but when you have to play a certain number of missions with a specific aircraft to get a specific type of kill (ground or air ) it ruins it because it forces you to play rigidly.

Completely agree with this; for those of us who don't take games online that often (if at all), its becoming more and more common to be unable to properly complete a game.
