The Crystal Ball 2

[=FI=Scott]

From BoB it sounded logical to move towards the MTO but I would welcome anything that hasn't really been done before. The idea of another Eastern front sim does nothing for me. While I though that conflict was well done in IL2 I never thought they got to grips with the PTO (the closest it came was with the Slot map) so I would go for that.

I know there is a home audience to please and that there are simmers in the west who want to try the eastern front in the new sim but it just sounds like old wine in a new bottle.

I would like to have the MTO, particulary because I`ve never experienced it. Two, three generic IL-2 coops years ago. But now when we have the foundation of Battle of Britain ops , it would be much easier than with the predecessor. Besides that, imagine the tank battles in the desert. I`d happily bring down some 40mm Hurris while flying a Fiat.

I quickly accpeted the IL2 way of develpment but I don`t think we should go to the same depths as we did before. Battle of Moscow is just one campaign, so we do have some hope that the MTO will come. I mean I`m not against fighting the reds once again. I know th theatre of operations, I know the tactics and I`d probably do pretty well right from the start. But the Mediterranean is everything I`d wish for. Bf109 in trop camouflage, crappy italian planes, endless desert and a sea over which I`d gladly perorm escort sorties. Imagine that. Taking off from Italy, landing near Tobruk. Yeah, I like it.

I understand though that 1C first needs to grab the Russian market with something.

Yeah the North Africa and Med would be a dream. Uber Italian planes, crappy English planes, etc. etc. .
Imagine taking off from Lybia with a flight of Mc.200's escorting SM.79's to bomb Tobruk's port ... and the poor Gladiators and Hurricanes in the middle ...
