As far as the mods go they have created a strong online community and even inspired a revival of sorts in the online gaming and amongst the online squads. That is an excellent thing and I congratulation them.

However I strongly suspect the great mass of IL2 users just buy the game, apply the latest official patch and then never bother with mods, posting on forums or mucking about with online play.

To say 4.09 is unnecessary because the few elite online users have mods now seriously underestimates the number of people that still play the game patched but unmodded.

You can say that for 100% offliners, but as soon as you get online and spent 5 mins in HL you'll get the idea that there is something beyond the official patchs rather quickly.

Mods might be the way to go for the individual, but getting a Sqd or a whole airforce ready to participate in a modded warserver is hell.

For the last month I have spendt over 50% of my online time helping people in 'my' airforce.
There are many among the veteran pilots out @ HL that know almost nothing on what goes on behind the desktop of their computers.

I would prefer streight 4.09 servers to the modded ones.

More flying time.
