What would you like after BoM?

[simplyjames]

What would you like to see next after BoM as far as map/aircraft? Keeping with the format of BoS/BoM, i'd like the Battle of the Pacific!
 

F6F Hellcat

F4U Corsair

P-38 Lightning

B-25

TBF Avenger

 

Ki-61 Hien

A6M Zero

J2M Raiden

Ki-45 Toryu

Ki-49 Donryu

I'd give anything for a Zero  

What would you guys be into?

 

[Finkeren]

Sigh... Yet another of these threads? Really?

 

Ok, I say: Finish what you started.

 

Do at least 2 more installments set on the Eastern front (personally I'd like at least 4, but I realize that's pushing it). Preferably at least Kursk and Bagration.

 

After we have covered the East, I definately think it's time to do some justice to the MTO, be it North Africa, Malta, Sicilly or Italian mainland.

 

Yet another Pacific sim would be way down my list. It's been done so many times.

I'd like to see a Leningrad scenario. You could use a lot of the current planes and make a career mode with a really long timespan.

[SCG_Space_Ghost]

Spanish Civil War, Invasion of Poland or Western Front 1945.

[Jade_Monkey]

Mediterranean for me.

 

Unlike Finkeren, i hope they dont do too many eastern front installments.

 

It would be nice to see some warmer scenarios and planes from other countries.

[sturmkraehe]

Pacific would be great. These carrier ops.

 

MTO however would be the next logical step after Eastern front knowing that certain planes are already there that could fit in.

Well since we already have most axis planes for it, Africa/Mediterranean would make sense. I never understood the reason behind choosing the MC202 over the IAR80 and the P40 over the P39, wish I both consider more iconic planes at the eastern theater (well they don't make sense for BoM, but Kursk/Kurban would have been an option at that time too), but if you wanted to go Mediterranean after this, it makes perfectly sense that the decision was made that way.

 

Axis

 

Bf 109 F4 check

Bf 109 E8 check

MC 202 check

Bf 110 ckeck

early Stuka missing

Ju 88 check

don't know if the Heinkel 111 H6 flew there or if it was an earlier Version but check

Ju 52 check

early Fw 190 check

 

Allies

 

P40 check

lots of British missing

 

 

And as soon as we have the first British planes, we can go to BoB first and get some of those guys that are still playing CoD over here.

I doubt that, somehow.

 

After all, CloD is getting Wellingtons, F4Fs/Martlets, and D.520s... you'll have a hard time dragging me away from those

 

Anyway, back on topic...

 

I agree with Finkeren. More Eastern Front, especially Kursk and Leningrad. After that, I'd like to see an early Pacific expansion (chances are that the MTO is the new theatre that Team Fusion is working on), preferably Pearl Harbour, Wake Island, and Midway.

15 years of IL-2 covering the Eastern Front isn't enough? I'm burnt out of flying Russians for so long.

It needs to start with Italy, that's the perfect benchmark for Western Europe, something that no flight sim has covered since 2002ish. The only thing we're missing are the American/British aircraft and we have it. BoM isn't fully being released until 2016, meaning Kursk or another Russian theatre will come out in 2017 with probably no change from the last besides a new map and aircraft that are all the same in the end, the ball needs to get moving to expand.

 

• P-51B (Maybe even the A-36 dive bomber version which was used heavily in Italy)
• P-38
• A-26
• Spitfire
• P-40 (Which we will have soon)

vs (aircraft we already have + upcoming in BoM)

• MC202
• Bf-109F-4
• Bf-109G-2
• Bf-110
• Ju-87
• Ju-88

The only time I ever see a full server, is when it's primetime in Russia. This game needs to expand and grow, the only way to do that is to move on from the Russian front. That's funny you mention Africa. The 202's were pulled from the Battle of Stalingrad because the Allies invaded Africa.

 

- 4 new aircraft and a new map is all it will require and the sales in North America would more than likely sky rocket.

The developers still have a very long way to go fleshing out the current theatre and bringing gameplay up above app store standards.

Once that is achieved though, I'd happily go for a SW Pacific addon.

I love the Pacific, but I feel like the Med will be a good area to branch out with due to all the nations involved with it.

Kindly point me in the direction of all these PTO sims that have come out in the last decade or so since Pacific Fighters.

Those count as sims? Flying a zero or p38 in this engine would be amazing, no other game or iphone game could touch it.

[71st_AH_Hooves]

I'd really love to get away from German planes. Thats why I think the Pacific is such a great place to go. There is so much to do. Army Air corp, us navy, the Japanese army air corp and their navy. So many stories, crazy battles and cool aircraft to fly. But I do feel like the next expansion will be another Russian theatre, or italy.

 

I'm really hoping italy. As getting another Russian theatre puts any new hope of somewhere else one more year in the hole.

 

What I absolutley pray they do is take a little time and figure out DX12, 64bit, multi threading and multi core utilization. Then we could play the theatres we have now to an all new level, it'd be like a whole new game

[Reflected]

My first thought is the devs should finish what they started and release a 1943 Eastern Front theater, like Kursk, and give us the beautiful G-6.

 

Then if I think more about it, marketing -wise it would be smarter to move away from the Eastern front. The MTO would make a lot of sense, since we already have almost all the German planes. And not only would I love to fly Spitfires and Mustangs, but as said above, it would attract a lot of players from the Western countries.

 

My secret wish though is the PTO and carrier ops. Landing a Hellcat on the Yorktown with this engine...*drool*

[Finkeren]

Please point me in the direction of all these advanced WW2 combat flight sims that have come out in the last decade or so since Pacific fighters.

 

Just because good WW2 flight sims have been as rare a sight as Sasquatch walking hand in hand with Nessie for the last 10 years, doesn't change the fact, that the PTO has been covered by a huge amount of CFS', while Eastern Front has had only IL2 and the Mediterrainean has had... well, nuthin'. If there's a 'right' order to do this, then the MTO absolutely comes next.

 

Also, I don't buy the argument, that this sim needs to focus on a more 'well known' theatre to draw in European and US players. When the original IL2 was first released, it was in direct competition with a handful of other high-end WW2 combat flight sims all focused on Western Europe or the PTO. It's not like it went completely unnoticed for several years and suddenly became totally dominant with the release of Pacific Fighters. No, it quickly took over the stage with LaGGs and Yaks and Ilyushins simply by being better than the others.

 

BoS/BoM doesn't need British or 'Murrican planes to succeed (doesn't mean it can't have it eventually) All it needs to do is being the best combat flight sim out there, and there's much less competition now, than there was back in the early 2000s.

Yeah I stand corrected with the E7. Wasn't sure wish Bf 109 E is was.

 

Well most of my post was ontopic and since I heard from some that they just didn't like the map setting being winter and eastern front I wanted to add this point.

+1 Me too! and an integration in the campaign for this plane: supply/ drop missions! that would be fun!

[Brano]

It is a russian developer and it has been mentioned at many occasions,that their focus is primarly on Great Patriotic War.It is not surprising,isnt it? Together with the new wave of patriotism in Russia,celebrating 70th anniversary of victory over fascism+plus long tradition and player base of CFS in countries of former Soviet Union,eastern and central europe,who are more interested in that part of history,which directly happened in their respective country.

IMO there is not enough players/interest in west (mostly USA) for the devs to dedicate their resources for.

BoB has its own dedicated game (CloD),no reason to work on same theme.As mentioned before,TF is heading for MED,so again,no reason for 1CGS to focus there.

 

I would post a question rather than contemplaiting about what ifs.Why there is no western game studio to deal with CFS for all of those virtual pilots longing to leave eastern front?

Maybe becouse where is no demand,there is no supply?

As for me,I would love to see a good competition in west for 1CGS.Finally someone would show them how the perfect CFS is done

If decision to make Med next expansion was made now, it would probably be released sooner than TF5.0 :/ And also we don't know what part of Med next Team Fusion patch is going to cover, there is plenty of room for both in there. I do agree about BoB, no reason to go there.

[Reflected]

I don’t entirely understand this “let’s divide the different theaters and see who covers what” approach.

 

To be honest, I don’t fly one sim or another because of the theater they cover. My decision is based on how good they are. The BoB is on of my absolute favorites, still I fly BoS instead of CloD because it feels so much better (to me). Therefore, I’m really open to anything 777 wants to release. (that being said I admit that the BoB would be a really poor next choice)

[Juri_JS]

I hope before the devs start to work on the next game they will take the time to add at least some of the many missing features to the game, for example debriefings/stats for single missions, possibility for user-made campaigns, mods-on mode, more radio commands, etc.

If the games content doesn't improve significantly I see no reason why I should spend another $80.

[Picchio]

Polish and refine Bos/BoM as much as possible. I agree with Juri above. (I also quietly hope that if and when we get a proper campaign system - which to me should be at least as the one RoF provides - the team would offer their take on the Battle of Britain... yeah it's been done twice, less and more recently, but I still wish for this team to explore it... ).

Then, I'm for Mediterranean & North Africa too...

Edited August 5, 2015 by Picchio

[216th_Jordan]

I think they could do some other theatre than eastern front next and after that come back to the east to cover kuban and kursk with 2 maps and one planeset for example.

[senseispcc]

Eastern front 1943, 1944 or the end of the thousand years Reich 1945. Or maybe more campaigns for the same time with more and different planes? I-15, I-153, Po-2 for night raids, Il-4,  P39, La 7, Tu-2, ect... and for the other side Fokkers DXXI, IAR 80,  Ju 88, more types of Me-109's and FW190,Dorniers... but stop dreaming. I am happy with what we have and what we shall have.  

[Danziger]

I would like expansion packs for both BoS and BoM with 10 more planes each

[Voidhunger]

Africa is my wish

[Blooddawn1942]

A third eastern front scenario would make perfect sense and I would be absolutely fine with such an decission.

But then they should head over to another theater. Mediterranian would be fantastic. But the Pacific would be great too imo.

[Elem]

Khalkhin Gol/Nomonhan Incident, Spanish Civil War and Battle of France. More esoteric aircraft and biplane vs. fixed gear monoplanes please.
