1_Robert_ Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Hi everyone. With the recent movie releases like Dunkirk and Darkest hour, as well as talk of the new Hurricane coming, I've been getting a bit of an itch for some BOB action with some spits and hurricanes battling some early 109s low on fuel. Now I understand that Cliffs is now part of the family but unfortunately there's no VR so it's a no go for me. On top of that, it's my understanding that the Dover series and BoX series don't share the same engine and never will. Please correct me if I've misunderstood that. So my question is, has there ever been any discussion of a future BOB in the BoX series? I realize there is a lot on the devs plate and the priorities are getting Kuban done, Bodenplatte, Tanks, FC...etc. Then there's the Pacific which I'm really looking forward to as well. There's a lot on the go so I was just curious for discussion purposes if this has ever come up, or if there's really any hunger for such a title added to the great battle series? Cheers
TAAC_Blue Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Cliffs is supposed to be adding VR support with the 5.0 update. You will more than likely have to wait until then to scratch that itch.
Gambit21 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Yes it's come up - many times. Please reference the many discussions.

Sorry I should have clarified what I meant by "has there ever been any discussion of a future BOB in the BoX series?". I meant have the devs mentioned any interest in doing a new BOB to tie into the BoX series.
Gambit21 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Not possible due to affiliation with CloD, and I think I'm being accurate when I say little interest even if that wasn't the case due to CloD's existence. Not the wisest business decision in either case.

Is there even the foggiest idea of when 5.0 with VR might happen? I just bought CLoD and RoF to support both programs but until they go into 5.0 and Flying Circus and use VR I won't use them. I expect FC Early Access maybe late this year but is there any idea at all for CLoD 5.0 VR capable?

Not the wisest business decision in either case. Very true, CloD post "release" discussions has showed that players in general has few interest in 'B of B'. From SP point of view TFS are moving from CloD 'B of B' leaving the SP "broken" as MG leave. 'B of B' is now "history" in CFS history. Well, are that 303 Squadron "plane mechanic game" under development.
SYN_Haashashin Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Hi guys, Answer to the OP was given. BoB is not happening in BoX for now and the close future (who knows what can happen in 5/10 years??) so I am locking it. CLoD discussion can take place in its subforum: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/forum/104-il-2-sturmovik-cliffs-of-dover/ Haash 2
