Best single player?

IL2 running smooth, nicely and pretty.

Tried to like the campaign but its a bit boring and very unrealistic to choose your own missions.

Tried PWCG , much better , all airplanes focus on attacking just my plane, lacks something too.

What other options are there?

Any scripted campaigns?

I'm not sure.

 

I'm very hopeful that the new campaign system that is coming next year will be much more interesting to fly. By all rights... it should be as the Rise of Flight campaign system its based on is very good.

Problem is the regimental attacks by the AI on the player solely.

When it happens and you're in the right plane, try to climb-circle and let your friendly AI shoot the Enemy AI down, for the enemy AI is only interested in you, the player, even when they are shot to pieces by other aircraft.

 

I believe the Devs are aware, but have given it a low priority.

So at the moment, even if we would have the most perfect campaign system, the AI behavior will screw it up and kill your immersion.

 

I hope the Devs put it higher on the prio list and we'll just have to wait.

Have you played the Veteranen missions (assuming you play german planes)?

I recommend checking the mission making section of the forum in general.

FYI - Is need wait Veteranen66 update their campaign for 2.004, the .mnsbin files became incompatible.

Other good SP is maybe is Albert (?) Life.

Juri_S missions are also well worth a look

Just played multiplayer for the first time.

109F2 and for the first time I saw the advantages of the 109 outclimbing enemy planes.

Got to shoot down a P40 , then was shot  down by a Yak.

 

Element of surprise is there too, lot more immersive than single player.

I dont have the time to fly for that long though, wish there was an immersive campaign that makes you wanna play mission after mission and take care of your caracter.

 

Without all AI trying to kill you or flying their plane to their best perfromance.

Try Il2 career generator; it's basically career layer for default campaign; instead of choosing your mission your career tells you to go to field X, take plane Y and fly mission Z.

Multiplayer is more intense, but less immersive in a "flying in WWII" sense. I know what you mean though. Single player and multiplayer compliment each other - we just need better single player. I'm grateful that it's finally coming. As implemented before now it's been a bad joke.
