Where do majority go for Multiplayer?

[MrHemlocks]

I bought the game not too long ago and just recently started playing it. I needed to get a better joystick and video card first) Last night, after 12am EST, I tried multiplayer and only saw about 10 players on ALL the servers combined! I used the multiplayer tab, in game, and was taken to the server list. Is there someplace else the group goes to play...like Steam???

 

As a side note: I did find a server, had only 4 players, and joined it. Not too fun for me...never got off the ground and blew up my plane 3 times by accidently dropping the bombs while trying to take off or crashing into other objects on the airfield.

Search the server list by numbers of people in game and it will normally return the 4 most popular servers which tend to be the two DED ones (normal and Expert), Wings of Liberty and TWB which is more populated in US peak time.

 

Alternatively download this cool app and you can see the servers and people in game before launching the sim, plus it will fire up track IR for you.

Midnight US time zone will be quiter to be honest, all the Europeans are tucked up in bed dreaming of IL2 but the weekends will be busier.

 

In the mean time practice practice practice :D
