HagarTheHorrible Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Will it be possible to have the RoF maps available in BoS ?
BraveSirRobin Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Unfortunately, you can't fight against 109s in your RoF Camel, either.
HagarTheHorrible Posted September 6, 2013 Author Posted September 6, 2013 Technical or commercial decision ? Presumably BoF or BoB would be no brainier expansions for BoS if the RoF maps could be used, admittedly it might be a bit embarrassing though if the Camel and DR1 dominate. ;-)
AndyJWest Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Technical, no doubt - they have revised the graphics (adding bump mapping for a start). It wouldn't make much sense to fly WWII aircraft out of WWI airfields anyway. And then there is the problem that the maps have a humongous muddy brown front line crossing them, which would look rather odd.
Bf-110 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Well,WWII was fought in many places where WWI was.The Western Front map can be used for the Battle of France and Channel can be a good option for a Battle of Britain campaign while there isn't a tailored map for IL2.The only thing is that they will have to change the ground objects.
79_vRAF_Friendly_flyer Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 The RAF didn't fly LaGG 3s... We'll have to wait for the lend-lease Hurri I suppose...
AndyJWest Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 ...that or wait for the P-40, paint the Stalingrad map snow yellow, and pretend it's north Africa. 2
ImPeRaToR Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) Now that would be a fun battle of britain, Hurricanes versus Bf109F-4, G-2 and even Fw190A-3. I wonder which side will be very unpopular... Incidentally there used to be a server called "Wings over Europe". It had a rolling plane set from 1940 to 1946 and the plane sets were Western Allies vs Germans/Finns. Now since back then there was no Spit I, the red side was limited to hurricanes and early P-40s and even though they weren't even up against the planes mentioned above it was still pretty much slaughter and barely anyone of the regular red-side pilots would show up until the Spit V would become available. ...that or wait for the P-40, paint the Stalingrad map snow yellow, and pretend it's north Africa.

LLv44_Mprhead Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Maybe RoF maps could be used for leaning into france-campaign?
1CGS LukeFF Posted September 6, 2013 1CGS Posted September 6, 2013 The Western Front map can be used for the Battle of France and Channel can be a good option for a Battle of Britain campaign while there isn't a tailored map for IL2. The map is not nearly big enough to simulate the Battle of Britain properly. The only thing is that they will have to change the ground objects. LOL, you make that sound like it's a small task.
Zmaj76 Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Unfortunately, you can't fight against 109s in your RoF Camel, either. Well it would be a good match hahah

Well, no. If you think that's the only thing that changed to the area in those 20 odd years, you are sorely mistaken.
SYN_Vander Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 It might be interesting to re-release both the Western Front map and the Channel map for BoS once we have a 1940 plane-set so we can do a "Battle of France". But I doubt the devs will do this. Hopefully, a BoS map making community will be able to pull this off! But first...we need North Africa!

Wind Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Q : Would there be any technical (like different code//other business entity has the rights to the map) not to implement it to the BoS? No, I am not meaning it would be a campain map or anything, but maybe a "bonus" quick mission builder // test map. I mean, the realistic timeframe for us getting a summer map in BoS is what...Q 4 of 2014? A year away, or more... So having something green underneath your wings would be nice.

I agree, it would nice to have something like this. I'm not too sure but isn't Difis working on something?
