Game"s future

[FaQgo_show]

Hello devs, what i am about to say is meant only to enhance this game.

Firstly, multiplayer where we would all like to play...

Your servers are too biased for total simulation.

There is no satisfaction in playing, ask yourselves,

what do players want? let me clue you in.

Communication, so why can you not have the ability for all to communicate

in the lobby before a game starts.

Gaijin's Birds of Prey had this.

Also, have no respawn modes...dead must spectate till next game.

Have games start in flight, we do not need this

takeoff and landing crap.

It gets old after the first couple attempts.

What we want as virtual pilots is flying, dogfighting

with statistics being counted and the ability to communicate.

We want to see a ladder we can climb stats wise.

Your work on the minutia of getting airborne really is time/effort wasted.

I have been pc gaming since Jane's ww2 fighters, 1998...

Only one game, the aforementioned somewhat arcady Birds of Prey

has captured the fun of air combat.

Why do you devs not realize this?

Are you gamers or is it just a job for you?

I have more suggestions, if you really care about the

direction of your game...pls msg me.

I am only here to help.

Without wanting to offend you, I don't think that this is largely the fault of the developers.
1. The servers like CB, KotA,TAW,WoL etc. are provided by private persons who also run their own missions. So it is up to them whether there are air starts or not.
2. In how far biased? That there are certain parts of the community that prefer only one side is probably not the fault of the developers, but rather of the players. Also, as far as I know, features to limit the number of players who can access the site have been tested by various server hosters and found to be negative.
3. A voice chat would be nice, but the team is small and not everything can be done. Especially since it is not difficult to find people via Teamspeak or Discord with a little initiative.
4. Honestly I find the post a little cheeky. And without wanting to sound mean, you might want to check out War Thunder, which seems to be more to your taste.

Wrong, around 3/4 of players never play online. 

[Lusekofte]

Unlike @6FG_Big_Al I do not care if I offend you. 
You take the liberty to speak for all of us and yet it looks like you want to transfer this game into wow. 
Personally I hate servers with people not bothering to taxi to runway.  Your idea discust me short and simple

Totally self-contradicting. You claim to want "total simulation", then demand one arcadish thing after another.

Please do not for a minute imagine, that you are speaking on behalf of anyone but yourself.

This is the one good point you make here: Player communication can indeed be improved, and the devs are well aware of it.

Are you really though? Seems an odd way of offering your "help". 

 

Barge in on your very first post, clearly having not searched the forum, to see if there are any discussions of the points you are about to bring forth. Insulting the devs at every turn. Pretending to speak for everyone, when you have only been part of the community for mere minutes. 

 

This is not "helping", this is trolling.

Come back when you've got one.

[Lusekofte]

Btw. Many of your request can be forfilled by starting your own server. 
it can have airstart only , outsideview with aiminghelp and all the arcadish stuff you like. 
but I highly doubt many would join it

Good list mate! Everything on it is exactly the opposite of what I want from Il-2 Great Battles, and I doubt that I'm alone.

You have clearly strayed into a flight sim that isn't, and never will be, for you.

Btw, I sincerely doubt that you are only here to help.

Objection your honor 

that would cost me a lot of points

Well, speaking for MYSELF and not others I’ve never played multiplayer. I find the immersion level especially with the gains attributed to the AI in recent updates to be right where I like to be in a sim - just me and the AI. I agree with Finkeren that past posts and polls signify over the years most players simply enjoy the sim playing against the AI. Just look at all the missions developed for single player versus multiplayer. Nothing against multiplayer mind you as it’s great to have the option. Maybe someday if the whim hits me.

 

For some reason your post smacks as someone coming off of a War Thunder kick, which is fine for those who enjoy the arcade style of play but posting it as a thread topic here doomed it from the start.
 

Speaking of kicking time to get those chicken wings thawed out for tonight’s game.

I'd almost forgotten about that. Am currently feeling depressed as England are losing 0-17 to France at half-time. Let's hope that the Chiefs and 49ers can serve up a decent game; both are exciting teams from what I've seen. Cheers.

Well, look at it this way. If England can’t pull out a win ya can hoist a couple of brews in the ol’ pub for better luck next time. And if they make a comeback and defeat France, ya can hoist a couple of brews in the ol’ pub for victory. Either way, ya could turn it into a win-win situation for yourself at least (as if we need an excuse to be drinking to start with). Cheers mate!

I need it. Its not a crap. Lots of users like it.

 

Your post went well until the "take off/landing is crap".

What about learning taking off/landing?

Its not that difficult, bro.

I highly doubt devs gonna PM you for your "advise", wise-man. Why not create your own sim then? After all, seems like you know what we all want.

 

 

Edit: after reading the OP post, I rushed to the reply box and then replied. Just checked the replies after that.

I love it the rejection he received from us lol. But seriously, as BigAl said, his post is cheeky. Cheeky, immature, annoying, contradictory and idiotic.

 

Sorry mate, but your behavior of "oh I know everything, you devs dont know anything" irritates me as ****.

What did I just read ? ?

 

I'm so glad we usually all argue as a community about DM/FM and not about the stuff OP talks about  ?

 

What's next, aim assist and RPG skills ? ?

 

Il2 GB is great the way it is thank you very much OP for your suggestions ?

 

[69th_Mobile_BBQ]

A lot of OP's statements start with "We want".  At least speaking for myself, and I'll venture that others would back me as well.....  What's this "we" shit?

[simfan2015]

I, personally, already have everything from IL-2 (as well as DCS) that I always wanted in a sim.

If not flying solo I set up my own, personal "friends-only", Co-op server. Password protected.

What else could I wish for if IL-2 (and DCS) allows me to create my very own game/sim in a few clicks with the IL-2 SYN_Vander co-op featured QMB (and the DCS ME) ?

Not even talking about setting up ... Dedicated Servers !

That way I (and friends) can do whatever I (we) like without getting into a WT type of MP-mess, but of course ... YMMV.

IMHO The ability to -easily- do all of this makes IL-2 (and DCS) almost unique  in the gaming world.

The only future things I wish I could get from future IL-2/DCS versions is ... what I already enjoy and that those awesome features will always remain !

Well I have to say. Most people here all though aggressive about it , very passionate about this game. I try to remember that when responding to suggestions. So I do not get too emotional in my reply. 
I believe we can come off as ungrateful in our passion able postings. 
But this is either a troll or a kid. It do not deserve  attention by people who care. Yet we do
