Wolfram-Harms Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) A friend of mine, who works for "WikiGameLeaks" received this image from a yet secret source. The image was coded "pacific package design - early ideas"...! Knowing how keen I would be to see a "Pacific sim" one day, he sent me the picture. I was amazed, and I bet many of you will also be! There's hope somewhere on the far horizon! Edited April 1, 2018 by Wolfram-Harms 1 9 5
Nightrise Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Looks at date. I still want both Edited April 1, 2018 by =FEW=nightrise 1
Cybermat47 Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 April Fools aside, that boxart is really damn good. 1
SvAF/F19_Tomten Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Stop it guys, this is an official leak, it's super real! Now start hyping! 1
seafireliv Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 It`s usually best to forget about it and it will come faster. Anything that`s going to take at least a year is best forgotten about unless you`re part of the team making it happen. I forgot about a Career mode in IL2 BOS and before I knew it, it was here. 2
=LD=Hethwill Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Nothing like april joks to make people hyped for something ! Damn biased covers though

Poochnboo Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Lol! I think that flight simmers can beat a dead horse better than almost anybody. 1
OrangeNoise Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 My older brother totally works for 1c and he told me the next game will be the new Gundam VS game. Pacific is fake news, yo. 2

Damn biased covers though Good joke, but these covers, man, he’s got an new job. Monday 2th of April at the 1C office, starting 8:30h and ask for mr Williams at the reception. . 1 1 2
=LD=Hethwill Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 They are superb. The dive attack one is superb choice. Has such a sense of speed to it. ( plus despite the joke, i'm a fan of the roughneck sdb ) 2
=27=Davesteu Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) That's simply superb! Well done man, I enjoy the joke and especially the artwork. Very talented for sure. The water and Akagi are awesome, I can't help myself but to repeat: Simply amazing! How much time you spend just on those details? But only carrier warfare? I also can't help myself but to spoil the fun and remember this only was a portion of the Asiatic-Pacific-Theatre. Now give me (Papua) New Guinea & Burma cover art! Edited April 1, 2018 by =27=Davesteu 1
Poochnboo Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Yeah, all kidding aside, those are terrific. Oh damn.....now I want to fly a Dauntless.
Venturi Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 The divebombing scene on the right box is possibly the best flight sim porn art I've ever seen.
[APAF]VR_Spartan85 Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Heck, when that expansion comes, I can’t imagine the kind of weather systems we might possibly have... or just technology in general...navigation equipment, fuel management, carrier ops, torpedos, battleships, radio comms.... etc. May need to learnt me some Morse code once again...
Wolfram-Harms Posted April 1, 2018 Author Posted April 1, 2018 Thank you all for your nice comments, gentlemen. The cover art was of course only compiled by myself; I did not do the paintings. In fact I never even asked the artists if I could use their works. So I want to name and link them at least, as I admire their art works a lot. The Coral Sea box is a collage from web images, and mostly the TBD Devastator painted by Jerry Boucher. More from him here: http://www.the-vaw.com/ The Midway box picture is "Nowhere to hide" by Robert Perry - if you want to see more from him... https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/4-robert-perry.html Jerry and Robert - if you should stumble across this - pls don't mind! It was just an April Fool's joke I made. 2

=FEW=Hauggy Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 Can't wait to get wasted in a devastator or try and dogfight in a Dauntless against swarms of Japs. 1
