Well I'm happy :) Rata next month is great! Will we be able to fly it online straight away?

Great job on the cockpit! When is the summer map coming?

Looks great, I can picture it now, chasing a beat up 109 real low over the summer map in my P-40 showing no mercy as it explodes into the tree tops.....

Anticipation almost always exceeds reality.

Lovely stuff about the I-16 and the rest of the news in DD100. I hope that one day we get Hurricanes along with that Murmansk map that is doing the rounds on another part of the forum :)  

 

Thank you Dev's and all involved.

What a lovely cockpit :).

 

Question regarding early access, how will BoM interact with BoS during the EA period? Specifically, will we be able to fly the I-16 from day one of EA in MP with the current BoS planes on an EA server? Or is it going to be a quick mission builder plane only initially?

Posted

Ahaa, sorry I was too busy scrolling down to check those fantastic pics! :D

 

Looks like it will be Christmas every month!:)

Wow the 'Rata' looks great. I always thought of it like a little convertible sports car.

Please include BoS aircraft with BoM EA so that we have something to shoot down with our new toy.

Posted

They said the ea planes will have to be flown in the BOS map until the Moscow map is released, so I assume that we will be able to add the I-16 to any Bos mission in the editor and fly it online next week when it's released.

Looks great. We are a needy bunch.

Happy but a little underwhelmed considering the hype from the DEV's last week. I was honestly hoping for the roadmap, which we got, and a major surprise of some sort; new campaign direction announcement, small summer map release, etc.

same here..

anyway I WANT that I-16!

nice update although a bit underwhelming, but where is Mig-3 ? :unsure: I thought this iconic aircraft will be one of the first aircraft for BoM as it is tightly connected with this battle.

They're saving the best for last :)

 

Personally I think this is good for me. This way I'll get to fly all the other planes a lot too. If the MiG-3 was released first I'd propably fly that almost exclusively ;)

November - Bf 110 E-2 ohh long time to wait :(

I'm with you on this, but as Russian developers, not surprised Russian aircraft being released first, so have to go with their decision.

 

Disappointment over now, & which ever aircraft I fly, the same quality is there with all aircraft.

 

Also looking forward to flying over something other than snow.

Well, actually, if you look at the schedule you'll see that they plan to release the new aircraft alternating so we get one Soviet, one Axis, one Soviet etc. The fact that they start with the I-16 and not the MC. 202 is propably coincidental. The 110 likely is one of the later aircraft, because it's a multi crew fighter with a lot of loadout options, hence propably taking longer to model.

The Ishak is a pretty badass aircraft, actually.  :D

 

This will be sweet.

~S~ Devskis,

 

Those cockpit screen shots are sschmokin' hot. Very nice work! Truly high definition, top notch!

 

Cooler even, than my gunner poppin' outboard the other night in Multiplayer, to watch my 12 o'clock.

 

I truly love this simulator, warts and all, and, obviously I'm onboard for Battle of Moscow. Take your time.

 

Keep 'em flying,

 

S! -Jupp- :salute:

Fortunately we'll get the green maps Zeus are creating in the coming months.

 

Comrades, please enough "...Zeus are creating..." :) Whole team are working on the new seasons and technologies for it :)

Why I16 first on the list?

 

Simple: my favorite first.

As everyone has noted, the cockpit pictures look great.  I hadn't been that enthused about BoM recently but the 109 and I-16 cockpit images have got me interested again; so thanks for that.

 

Bit underwhelmed by the other news though.  I'd hoped there'd be a big reveal concerning a revision of the 190's roll-rate or something of that magnitude, or failing that,  maybe free beer and hookers but .....nah.  So, yeah, disappointing in that respect....sigh

That Rata cockpit is really impressive. I always enjoyed flying that in the original so I guess I'll be doing that in BoM as well, and BoS too.

The I-16 looks very good. I'll enjoy flying it to the Action Point.

Is it too late for early access?

What is this nonsense? You can't finish creating BoS, and then you lump in BoM and claim to "continue developing BoS with BoM" but can't finish BoS? Really? That is absurd, you should have finished that game when it was released. Look at 1946, I bought that at release at it had everything. Over 100 planes, dozens of maps, a dedicated server that could host ~100 players, and a campaign system that was fully integrated and amazing. Why are we paying for BoM, when BoS hasn't been finished? Why is this update so lack luster? I was expecting at least three flyable planes from the pre-order that is to be released next year, and a few maps that have been in development for only a matter of months! You only laid out the anticipated release dates so many of us have been asking for, which is obviously not enough.

 

I mean, really, look at 1946, that only took those developers NINE YEARS to get where it is today with a completely third party campaign system plus lots of third party planes that took away from the developers time to fix up because most weren't good enough to even be imported into the engine. And we need the campaign system like Starshoy made, but no one is willing to do it.. so obviously it's the problem with BoS.

 

And then, THEN, there's the problem of people not playing because the servers can't run more than 50 players but I rarely see players that hit that number <in select time zones, the most complainy time zones>. Up the numbers to 256! There need to be servers that show more emptiness during certain time slots. It's not like it's the players themselves of those time zones are the problem or anything.

 

Seriously. This looks amazing, and I'm having a hell of a fun time with BoS. Far more than I ever did with Il-2. There were far more problems with the original series that continued through its entire existence that I'm glad this isn't a continuation of that, when jets have torque, all planes have the exact same torque and g-precision for several versions, and when planes have zero prop drag for several versions, or when the first release for several months doesn't even know how planes are supposed to fly - holding back the stick to climb until hitting a certain airspeed is not how planes work and I don't mean just holding back to climb I mean holding back to STAY IN THE AIR - that isn't a quality product.

Sigh indeed, sigh indeed. The roll rate is fine.

Any progress is good progress in my books  :cool: .

 

Good hunting,

I guess it's never to late for early access....need that I-16 too! ;)

 

Have a nice weekend all!

Pessimistic would be that he will not enjoy flying it to the action point.  ;)

Beautiful cockpits and it's good to have a timeline for the next few months' aircraft. I guess I'd better pre-order soon!

Here's my reaction to the EA schedule:

And yes, I know that she was getting excited over a Panzer IV, and I'm getting excited over a I-16, but... I don't care. I mean... we're getting an I-16 :biggrin:

Every comparison test I do, flight dynamics wise, with other sims ( mainly one other one ) are so in favor of IL2 BoS that I simply shelved the competition

 

Yep :salute:
