Cybermat47 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Maybe the next game in the series, after BoM, could be Siege of Leningrad? I know, I know, BoM only just got announced, and this thread is just me making a suggestion that can't be acted on for a year or so, if at all. But frankly, my enthusiasm for flight sims got a new lease of life after Moscow got announced, and my interest in the Eastern Front has grown immensely over the last few weeks. So, I think that, after BoM is released, SoL is the logical choice. BoS gave us a major battle involving Army Group South, BoM will give us a major battle involving Army Group Centre, so SoL would give us a major battle involving Army Group North. Another thing is that the early stages of the Siege of Leningrad took place at the same time as the Battle of Moscow, so the dev team would arguably only need to make a new map. And as the siege lasted over 800 days, the devs could constantly expand the game. Of course, that would mean that to begin with, SoL could just be BoM on a different map, which would certainly be a negative. But what do you guys think? Would you like SoL to be announced in around a years time, or would you prefer to see Kursk, or the Mediterranean?

DD_Arthur Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 S' o.k. The Ostfront a third time round though? Nah. Gimme the Med. Malta, Sicily - not the freakin' western desert - that'll do me. We could have elements of the Desert Airforce - that means P38's - as well as Seafires off carriers and even F4 Wildcats. Some really good planes coming in BoM for all sides. Later versions all used in the med; P40's, Macchi 202, Bf110, Ju88. Could be epic.

It would also give us a chance to use those desert skins without sticking out like a sore thumb
DD_Arthur Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Desert skins would be o.k. as long as we don't have to do any desert. Desert and snow = yellow or white = two years down line; one big yawn. Think about landing a Wildcat on the deck of an escort carrier off Sicily though. Must be a way to use all that water boarding technology from RoF's channel map Edited February 23, 2015 by DD_Arthur
voncrapenhauser Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Med or European theatre after BOB, or even D Day and after for me all the way.....Something different for all the gang that have been with the IL2 series from the start. We have seen enough of the same old same old. Something completely fresh please as your asking. Wings over Italy, not many games cover the Italian campaign. Edited February 23, 2015 by voncrapenhauser
BMA_FlyingShark Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 How about a Flying Tigers in China and eventually South East Asia? P40's all the way.
Leaf Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Anything late '43, early '44 would be very interesting, I think. (Not to mention extremely popular!)So I'm going to go with the campaign in Italy, because a France and Germany would take insanely long to map, and I'm likely to get as bored of the sand in the Sahara as I am of the snow in Stalingrad. 1

Sokol1 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Krimeia = green, mountains, rivers, sea, ports, ships, submarines, seaplanes... Trade snow plains for sand plains will don't help too much these people who get lost over the "white", they will get lost over the "yellow" (with less geographical references than Russian steeps).
