Pacific Fighters Bombed - inadequate maps

There will be few left to get the message when BOB SOW comes out. The majority of simmers will move on to a more immersive combat flight sim. The Il-2 forums will become as quite as the CFS 3 forums.

I do believe Oleg will sell plenty of the BOB, on reputation alone. I don't see it as a long term thing unless he turns it into an improved IL2 doing the whole world conflict of WW2.

Then again... Online players are mostly turn, burn and shoot so what difference will it make whether they do their thing over the English countryside or Leningrad. There are exceptions in Online play, but most of it is TB&S.

While SOW will certainly quench some of the interest in il-2 (virtually everyone who plays il-2—modded or not—will buy SOW), for some of us the Pacific matters. So for the BoB, I'll be flying SOW, but I'll still want to fly an F4F or B-25 over the SWPA.

BTW, I think it's a mistake to limit player made maps in SOW to some arbitrarily small size. Players will quickly make maps, and the devs can concentrate on stuff use the maps for.
