I wish I did, but they bring me no joy at all. I’m the exact opposite, really (though I do have a soft spot for the Pacific Theatre). The trick with WWI planes is to consider them powered kites and take them up for the sheer joy of flying. The Fokker Dr.I and Fokker D.VII(F) are particularly good at creating this feeling of flight. They are almost impossibly nimble. It’s true, you can never compare this to the sheer raw POWER of a 2600hp turbocharged death machine (and yes I admit the P-47D is pure sex), but you can trace back its lineage to these humble beginnings. That said, from a historical point of view, these tiny biplanes were the absolute bleeding edge of technological advancement. A serialised 1918 scout/fighter like the Fokker D.VII looks nothing like the experimental wiry contraptions that existed only 4 years prior. Then when you think that men who’d never even sat inside an automobile volunteered to fly and even fight in the air, you can understand why there will always be a bit of a cult following to them. And now I need to have a drink, lie down and accept that we’re probably not getting any new (very old) toys today. 1 3

I genuinely dont know WTF is going on but I can make accounts yet the game wont "see" them to log in, nor will the forum to ask for help!! So disappointed!! But yes I prefer ww2. However I love ww1 planes too - fond memories of tge Red Baron from the AoE and AoTP era.

Lusekofte Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 High expectations , eagerness never seen before? I wonder how servers will use it. I guess there will be at one point 83 262’s hunting down one po2 and that’s me going sightseeing totally unaware 2
CountZero Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 update with 262 on 28 may at 14:28min moscow time, you can bet on it ?
NN_RugbyGoth Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Flight-Sim Expo is on June 7th-9th, they need to have P51 flying by this time, so 262 should hit us hard this week and P51 in 2 weeks. Or they release both planes next week so that we can fight those jet engines with a poney when they go to land ? 1

Voidhunger Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Its hockey today, no update. I hope we win, after that they can release update.
Oyster_KAI Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 This week =Me262 , and 2~3 weeks later =P-51 WOLOLOOOOLOO~~~~~~~~~
Herne Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Or . . . . they could just sit on them, so that the flight sim expo happens to be the first reveal of the 262 and P-51. You want to be first to fly these puppies ? get in line at the IL2 stand at the flight sim expo Might even be a good move from a marketing point of view ? 1 1
Diggun Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Ye of little faith. Testers have been very quiet recently, almost like they're preoccupied....
LuftManu Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Looks like the hype train is going on again. I remember the weeks before the P47 dropped. I guess we are getting some pics this friday!
blitze Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 wolololo wolololo wolololo wolololo wolololo wolololo wolololo But before the Schwalb Goto keep our Yankie friends happy ?? 1
CountZero Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Theyz watch to mutch GoT and gona subvert our expectations and release Tempest V this month, before any other airplane ? 1
Lusekofte Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 I wonder if this sim will survive if no new content arrive?

Herne Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 3 minutes ago, LuseKofte said: I wonder if this sim will survive if no new content arrive? We all know its coming, the only question mark is when. steam charts look reasonably consistent and that doesn't include all the people that prefer to use the stand alone client. https://steamcharts.com/app/307960 What would be totally awesome, and not beyond the realms of possibility would be find out where IL2 goes next. Assuming BoBP is on track with Jason's Q&A he did a while ago I believe they were aiming for a BoBP release of autumn this year. I think BoBP was announced about 6 months prior to Kuban launch so if that represents the general trend, I reckon we could be finding out pretty soon.
Lusekofte Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 To me constant demanding stuff got a taste of ungratefulness about it. I would rather pay for upgrading the modules and the user interfaces within them. I guess such a thing cannot coexist with the rest and it is utter unrealistic. But the rate this is going I think they will have to come up with a totally new game engine and do something new. I know it is essential to keep the workforce occupied and get new content out for sale asap. I guess informations like this is a cooperative secret and will only get out when they are good and ready
ShamrockOneFive Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 45 minutes ago, LuseKofte said: I wonder if this sim will survive if no new content arrive? Three years ago? Possibly not but lets assume that everything announced so far finished up and that was that. IL-2 would last a long time after that. There's more than enough depth to the content now that it would continue to entertain. In some ways the multiplayer scene is just finally starting to pick-up and gather the kind of interest and organization that I've been hoping to see for a while and I don't think that would stop. Not for a while.
