DD today?

[[CPT]Crunch]

Wondering if its your last ever photo or DD.

[Zeev]

Although it seems that this game is not going into a positive path with the lack of DD I do appreciate that the community did not give up and there are still new single player campaigns being released even now in 2023.

We don't need this thread anymore... we know how they are working things now that Jason has gone. Might as well lock it.

 

We never needed this thread. I find it hard to believe that anyone believes otherwise.

 

Anyway, the thread doesn't need to have a reason to exist - it just does. It exists. Might as well accept that?

Just change the title to “DD this quarter?” and all be right again.

Maybe re-name it 'The Bismark'. ?

If you want it locked I can do it in a hartbeat. And get banned. Long time since last tima anyway

When you can get a thread locked, without getting banned, your training will be complete, Padawan.

Well...title speaks for itself.

I was wondering, if the developers are going to show something to us this friday or if they are going to skip it for now.

 

Yep, it's been seven long years (almost) .... years of torment, suffering and anguish. Are we gonna git it or are we ain't? I'll never stop asking ya hear. NEVER! What else is there? Life would be meaningless .... a vacuum of discontent. A vessel of despair. O Ye Gods, give us a sign! Have mercy on our souls .... etc etc.

A sinking ship? Nah... I'm sure everything is fine.   They've been "very open and forthcoming" these last few months. Nothing to bother about....

8 years... Jesus... Back then, the Friday DDs meant a world to me and undoubtedly IL2 came am incredible long way since these days. Sad but true, today I don't care anymore more if this game is alive or not or if or when the next project will be announced. My limited sim time is reserved for competitors. The world has turned since then and not to IL2 s favor I fear. Sorry to be honest. 

Will continue to support the team nevertheless.

8 years is it. God help me! I'm so distraught I can't even count proper. Please forgive me Blooddawn1942. It's the stress see. When will they put us all out of our misery and resurrect weekly DD's? Like you Blooddawn1942 I will continue to support them but it pains me to see gamers like you opting for competitors. Look. I've seen the DCS thread and, well, if they did WW1, I'd be there. Although it does seem costly and probably needs real good rigs. So c'mon 1C get your act together! We all need to keep the faith.

Communication by the devs with the international community needs some improvement to keep us interested until the next project is released. As far as I can tell they do it better in the Russian community, just take a look at the games Russian Telegram page.

Bother to give us some insights? I have no Telegram and I don't intend to dig in webspaces where I don't understand a single word. 

 

And there we have it. Just like in the early days before Jason stood at the helm. You hear that the devs are way more engaged with the russian community and the rest of the world is starving. I'm not sure if I like this kind of behaviour. Wait. I'm sure I don't like it.

What the devs share in the Russian community is mostly general information on how the team works (interviews with programmers, etc.). News on the game itself is always shared with the whole community.

If the Russia language is a new prerequisite, then who knows what the next theatre may be!? A bridge too far? 

[Blooddawn1942]

Anyway. They are definitely no PR guys by today's standards and expectations.

If you scroll up a bit, you find this:

 

"The news has been sad lately: projects are closed, events are canceled, employees are fired.
Good news only on our YouTube channel."

 

Doesn't sound too positive I think.

 

Have a nice day.

 

 

 

[76IAP-Black]

They should deal with the international community the same way they do with the russian speaking.
I have no idea what the video is about

Same here sad to say... I thought I may be happily drawn in again when FC2 became a complete project, but the career is just a joke with its shoddy AI... even the choice of appropriate planes for FC3 and 4 beggars belief.

I will give them Kudos however for how glorious the planes look...

Yep. I share Your opinion and love especially for WWI. Been there all the way since ROF 

And I don't say those negative things that easily. Always considered myself a supporter for IL-2. But let's be honest. The world has turned.

It's true for now. But in Jason`s time it was vice versa - some info was exclusive for .com forum. Anyway, according to last rumors, game update are coming and announcement of new project on the horizon.

I see.

Taking into account people eagerness to know some information, better to clarify first that it was a joke or forum would go mad ?

[CountZero]

so i went to ru forum to see whats that last video about and using great google translator it seams it was about tunnels, funnels and pancakes on runways ?

 

 

"On 04/22/2023 at 09:09 AM, Adler said:

Why do I need tunnels?

 

Normal bomb craters, trenches. They talked about it there.

It will make sense to plow the enemy field with pancakes, provided that the funnels do not disappear until the end of the mission."

 

 

and there was some nice picture of guy fixing telegraph poles

 

 

 

so next new project is Korea ?

Hey thanks for the telegram link.

The same as status of a new, upcoming game I presume? From that podcast months ago, and testers' posts that followed, I figured the proper tanks implementation effort in Il-2GB proved to be unsuccesful and thus there would be no drop tanks system in this game engine. Especially when its creator left the team.

 

That's something they're going to consider for future projects.

Yeah they let that Korea cat out of the bag years ago during an interview.

 

 

 

[CountZero]

Yes and Han also said he would like Poland 45 before we got Normandy so it could be anything i just post its Korea every so as a joke i highly doubt its that

[Gambit21]

 

 

 

[Trooper117]

It's Korea... get with it people!

[CountZero]

and this gona be opening hangar scene ?

[gn728]

Trying to read tea leaves with these guys is next to impossible.  I was triggered at first after Normandy with no announcement  - but not now, they're going to run this however they want. End of the day not a lot out there in new CFS, you'll be on board or not. But ya - lol - escorting AI B-29s near the Yalu will be a blast......
