Vaxxtx Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Would it be announced in update notes, or a preview in the developers updates/blog? Not sure where to look.
dburne Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I would imagine any news, if there is any , would be mentioned in the next Developer Diary... I am keeping my fingers crossed that there is some.
LLv24_Zami Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Lets hope we get some tomorrow. Qmb is getting a little boring allready. Something a bit more complicated would be great! 1
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Qmb is getting a little boring allready. QMB got boring before this title even implemented it... (*cough* RoF... *cough*) The old missions were quite nice, though I understand the difficulty in maintaining mission version updates with each patch.
dburne Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Yeah it would be nice if one could do a little more with the QMB than what we can currently, does not take long to get pretty repetitive. I have had some fun flying 8 yaks ( well usually 7 that get off the ground), against 4- 109's and 4- 111's.

I agree, and that is why I have been waiting to purchase this title. I was hoping/hope that since its so close to release, there would be SOME info by now. An IL2 without a good SP campaign, just does not feel like a true IL2 game. Lets hope something comes out soon.
Mugwump Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I certainly hope there will finally be some added single player specific content as there's really been nothing for several months now. You can add all the planes to the QMB you like, but it's still the same, dull QMB.
Taxman Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 I agree, SP news would be very nice. I have not had much time to fly lately so right now QMB has not lost its shine, yet.
Gambit21 Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Nothing wrong with the QMB - 16 plane furballs are fun.
Vaxxtx Posted August 29, 2014 Author Posted August 29, 2014 Nothing wrong with the QMB - 16 plane furballs are fun. Either I have been playing sims for too long, or my idea of fun is drastically different from yours. 16 plane fights ARE fun....for a short while. But a good dynamic campaign is better, and even MORE fun when there are actual events, mission goals, and some meat to along with air combat. Like flying CAS for a column, or intercepting bombers, or escorting bombers to and from a target. And while 16 might be ok, looking at the back of a bomber formation with escorts that all number close to 100 is even better. BoB Wings of Victory anyone? 1
Gambit21 Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Yeah I hear ya. Even in RoF though with it's campaign, I still found myself loading up an 8 on 8 fight from time to time.
marklar Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 But a good dynamic campaign is better... It won't happen in this game. Actually I haven't seen a simulator with a dynamic campaign since Falcon 4.0. Hopefully a carrier mode in BoS won't by such boring as it is in RoF.
jeanba Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) I am very curious about the BoS dynamic campaign sytem, I think that if properly developped, I will really enjoy it. And the current QMB is sweet : I just would like some variants such as "escort", "intercept" ... but this is linked to the "dogfighting bombers" porblem Edited August 29, 2014 by jeanba 1

Hopefully a carrier mode in BoS won't by such boring as it is in RoF. Well, I dont think anyone has ever done a dynamic campaign better than FalconBMS that is for sure. Wings Over Flanders Feild was probably second. But Il2 1946 modders did a great job of having a static historical campaign that followed certain events very well (AVG Flying Tigers campaign for isntance). This is what I assume BoS will have, but more lean. But then DCG for IL2 46' also made it awesome with a dynmaic campaign that gave you the option to follow timelines....or not. I find these of much more interest just because of the possiblities. Want to fly the Me262 in 1940 to see what it would have been like? Go for it. Want to Push the Germans out of France in 1941? Can be done. Want to have an accurate production date and only fly accurate battles....do it then. I would love to see BoS over time get to that point. It depends on how mod'able they make it. I have heard no SDK, or at least not a full one, which is a letdown. I mean, look at what was able to made with ARMA, and the huge following that the series has just due to the modders. 432 active members of just ONE company that does co-op 3 days a week. And thats just a very small fraction of sqauds that are active.Thats the kind of numbers that could make this IL2 title last for as long as the original IMO. I am not expecting it right away, but it seems since RoF they have been very adament about no type of dynamic campaign, and I just dont understand the reasoning behind it. Hopefully the SP portion will be interesting enough to justify the hype of this being the start of the "new" IL2 1946 legend. Time shall tell.
Reflected Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 for a start it would be nice to have the option of bomber units in QMB. I don't want to dogfight with Il2-s and Peshkas.
