I disagree with that completely.  I think Korea would sell better than several of the WW2 battles that people have mentioned in here.

Well, alright then, this is good, I prefer to wait at least one more VR generation, depending if and when Valve make a new set.

 

The order for VKB-Sim T-Rudder Pedals Mk.IV is confirmed as for now.

[watch-your-fire]

As the title says I'm just curious what the community expects from future content updates. So far we have:

• Western front '44
• Western Front '45
• Eastern Front '41
• Eastern Front '42
• Eastern Front '43 
• WW1 Western Front '17

 

Personally, here are some ideas I have for some future updates

• Battle of France '40
• North Africa 1940-1942
• Mediterranean 1940-1943
• Eastern Front '45
  • Note: Really wouldn't offer much new German tech, would mostly just offer final variants of key soviet designs like the La-7 and Yak-3
• Japan
  • Note: would be a huge undertaking for the devs and would require tons of new features like aircraft carriers and torpedos. Not something I expect anytime soon.

 

Anyway, let me know what you guys think.

[Enceladus828]

I think after Normandy they'll perhaps go back to the Eastern Front for a 1941/43-44 battle, or Berlin, or the early Pacific War.

Doubt we'll get North Africa, Mediterranean, or France anytime soon, unless they've done everything in Europe or Pacific that they want to do and those are the only places left.

 

IMO, when it gets to that point, I'd prefer if they made ships already in the game playable if they haven't already done that, add ships and planes not in the game that people have expressed interest in. And NOT 1946 planes!

 

Cheers.

[MasterBaiter]

I would like to see Battle of France or the Bagration operation area.

[CountZero]

If its not Poland 1945 ( Yak-3, La-7, P-39Q, Tu-2, IL_10 vs Bf-109G10, Fw-190A9, Ta-152H,Ju-87D5, He-111H20), i hope we get Italy 1943:

Spoiler

 

Main focus is on Salerno landings and Operation Avalanch. Map size is withing existing maps in game and is with interesting terain like Kuban offer.

 

A-36A, Spitfire Mk.VIII, Martlet Mk.IV, P-38G, Beaufighter Mk.VI

MC.205V Serie III, Re.2002 Serie II, Fw-190A4, SM.79bis, Ju-88A-17 

 

Carrier operations could be introduced and torpedo loudouts, and airplanes would fill in some gaps for Normandy map 1943 era.

And planty existing airplanes in game could be used in area.

 

But this would be more demanding then easyer to make map for Poland 1945, and airplanes would not be as atractive as late vvs vs german stuff. I would mostly like to see that map area in game as from how good Kuban looks this one would be great, but i fully expect late east war Poland DLC to be next.

 

I dont see them making anything in Africa, or early 1940-42 west front, and anything in PTO looks to be to demanding to make when its so hard for them to get neccesary airplane data for anyting Japan had exept Zero.

Lots more Italian birds they could have there like the G.55 or Re.2001, but generally seems like a very real possibility, would be lots of fun I think.

I don't believe France makes any sense to do without eventually expanding into the Battle of Britain, makes much more sense for Team Fusion to build it in my mind. I feel the same way towards early eras of Africa and the Mediterranean, however engagements close to or during the actual invasion of Italy I think's possible. I agree with Japan & the Eastern Front, although I would say there's some interesting types you could add for Germany there, the He-162 & Ta-152 for example. One other thing I want to note is if they make more volumes of Flying Circus having a ones based around the Channel & Eastern Front would be almost certain seeing as they already exist in RoF.

I think they could get more money if they save popular airplane like G.55 for separate collector airplane betwen DLCs (ike Yak-9 or Hurricane now), as in my reserch they were not as comon in that timeline, more were used later. Re.2001 is good option i would just go for radial Re.2002 so Italy have inline and radial versions also in game for varaity, like germans now for example (109s and 190s). There is also many options on Allied side but i think Martlet insted Seafire is good option also for varaity and some others llike maybe Spit 9c insted Spit 8 would be good to compliment Bobn... If they wont to stay at west front this period in Italy gives them good options.

[Blitzen]

Finish Flying Colors?!

[BinakZaino]

Has anyone mentioned a "Battalla de Madrid"? Italians vs Soviets where the Italians had a slight advantage.

[PatrickAWlson]

Let's try this one:

The title is Bagration, so that is Eastern Front 1944.  Thing is the German plane set is pretty fleshed out. What to do?  Fill in some gaps on the German side that are not necessarily directly related to Bagration.

 

Russian:

LA-7

Yak-3

Tu-2

IL-2 1944

I-153 for some extra life in Moscow

 

German:

With Normandy delivered, the German stable is really already complete for this time period.  We don't really absolutely need anything.

TA-152 Get to fly it in April of 1945

IAR 80 Bring on the Romanians.  Later in the war they can fly against the Germans  

Ju87-B for early war.  I really want this one.

HS-123 Good fun, much like the PO2.  Used for a surprisingly long time.

Do-217

 

Most of the German side  is entirely expendable.  The product might be better served by adding an extra Russian plane or two.  Even there, with the addition of the Russian plane set it is also pretty complete.  Maybe add the  P-63 and eliminate one German plane.  

[Bremspropeller]

I think fitting Malta, Sicilly and southern Italy on one map might be feasible.

Two modules:

• Eastern Front '44 (Kertsch and Krim could make sense. Double usage for 1942 also possible) 
• Eastern Front '45 (Vistula/Oder operation or Oder to Berlin or both)

that would be my favorites and also would complete the eastern front show and allows for SP career from 41-45. So many soviet planes are still lacking. Hopefully they go this route after BoN. Also an incredible amount of collector planes would be possible here.

 

Alternatively I also would be happy with:

• Tunisia 43
• Sicily / South Italy 43/44

Bagration,

 

As with Barbarosa, the problem with Bagration is that the lines moved very quickly. I'd say, Warsaw September -November, when the lines stabilized, and the Germans got the advantages of more concrete runways during a muddy period, giving them something like air parity for a month or two.

 

Speaking of Barbarosa, I'd say Smolansk during the long pause and Soviet counterattack in July-August. of 1941 for similar reasons.

I don't demand perfect historical accuracy.  The shape of the lines would be about right and there would be no doubt as to who is attacking/defending and who is winning/losing.  Whatever the map size, the Germans would be squeezed into the western edge of the map over the course of the conflict.  In reality a lot more ground would have been covered than is available in one map, but so it goes.  I do the same thing already with my East Front 1944 segment for PWCG.  it reuses the Stalingrad map.

Nor do I but if you can have it for the same price of admission, why not pay your money for the right thing?

[ww2fighter20]

For the eastern front I can still see 2 releases realistically, one in 1941, other in 1944/1945 or 1945.

 

For 1941 it's high likely going to be the Battle of Leningrad for several reasons, new nation (Finland), many in the past requested aircraft can be added (I153, Early variants of the Lagg3/Yak1, SB2 or DB3/IL4, P40B/C, Ju87B, Hs123, F2A (Brewster), Do17z), Battle can start when Finland enters the war which was an few days after Operation Barbarossa started , Map can be used from 1941 all the way till the summer of 1944, Battle of Leningrad is much more famous/well known compared to many other area's for Barbarossa, huge potentional for collector planes of many nations, ability to fly captured aircraft (Finland).

 

For 1944/1945 they could do Hungary, Courland or Berlin, I believe it's likely going to be Berlin for the following reasons: many late war aircraft (Ta152, He162 (If map is based north of Berlin), Bf109G10, Fw190A9, Yak3, Yak9U, Il10, Tu2S, La7, Il2 1944 with Arrow wings, P39Q), Battle of Berlin is quite famous/well known compared to other options for 1944/1945 eastern front, depending on the map location and size you might be able to fly for and against American/British/Soviet and German aircraft.

Yes I agree. 1941 June to August and 1944 June to August share the same problem. The incredible vast area the frontlines advanced. However maybe they find a solution for that, because from 1943 onwards until VE-day really was the timeframe when the VVS got the upper hand against the Luftwaffles.

[Bremspropeller]

I think from a ca$h-return standpoint, the way to go is MTO. It offers uncharted grounds - both map-wise and in terms of aircraft.

It also has a very nice mix of missions, ranging from strategical bombing, fighter-bomber ops, anti-shipping and the obvious fighter-missions.

 

Unless there's an overlap with Desert-Wings/ Blitz, which can be avoided by sticking to Sicilly or Southern Italy. Possibly Malta.

I'm not sure what Desert Wings' future plans are looking like - if they're planning on extending the planeset in the MTO or going elsewhere (like back to the Channel).

[jaguar]

There seem to be some confusion/errors about planeset in the MTO/Italy scenarios. For example, few if any Italian aircraft were operating against the Salerno landings because the Regia Aeronautica was in the middle of redeployement following the armistice. And those going to the north were flying defensive fighter action against allied bombers. I doubt a map of mainland  Italy from Salerno to the Alps will be made...

Yes, those demanding the 5 gen a/c need to remember that those a/c fought almost exclusively four engine allied bombers and their escorts.

Well, depends on the time frame. The Macchi 205 and the Re.2005 were used in Sicily, and in the defence of Naples, Rome, and Sardinia before 8 September 1943. But at Salerno it was the Luftwaffe who reacted against the landings, while both pro-Axis and pro-Allied italian air forces were reorganizing.

[ITAF_Rani]

South Italy 43-44  would be amazing !!

[cardboard_killer]

Anzio specific would check a lot of boxes--Germans attacking and defending, lots of FW jabos and P-40s to A-36s. Terrain would be boring, though.

[cardboard_killer]

Most of the flight will be from over the med. I admit the Germans won't be though, but I don't fly that side nearly as much as I fly the allied.

Edited November 22, 2020 by cardboard_killer

[jaguar]

Since the Salerno landings the allied took possesion and developed several airdromes and landings grounds in southern Italy, both close to Naples and Foggia. By the time of the Anzio landings even 15th AF and RAF 205 Group were already based in Southern Italy. So allied planes could cross the front without even flying over water...

I'm with CountZero.  Italy '43 would be fantastic.  We already possess much of the main allied and LW aircraft.  It would give an opportunity to introduce Italian aircraft and have aircraft carriers.  The only thing I'd change with the above plane set is to substitute the Ju-88 for the Do-217; then we can have Fritz-x glide bombs and have the SeafireMkIII instead of the Spitty Mk. VIII. 

 

 

[BMA_FlyingShark]

Italy would be fine for me too.

I do hope we get an early P40 though, I know it would be out of place there but as a collector's plane we can use it on the Russian maps and it would just be great to have one in this game.

 

Have a nice day.

 

[cardboard_killer]

After again trying to get into CoD and failing, I have to say I hope they do a BoB/BoF next. I'm sorry CoD developers, but it just doesn't work for me now that I have a fair amount of time in BoX. I tried, but it's just not working for me.

 

So, I'll repeat: I hope that BoB and BoF are next.
