We can't say for sure what the location will be or whether there will be Carriers... as I mentioned previously, we are not certain we will go on to the next module. If we do proceed, then definitely there will be new ship types, including very likely a Scharnhorst Class Battlecruiser and an Admiral Hipper Class Heavy Cruiser to use on the Channel map in an Operation Cerberus type scenario. Other ship types we can't reveal at this point as they would point to the location of the new map... the announcement of which 1C will make. Link to post Share on other sites
9./JG52_J-HAT 129 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Let‘s hope it keeps going forward and you guys get all the support needed to bring us the next installment. And also not lose the momentum you gained with the release of Tobruk. I also hope this announcement happens soon! Eager to know what the future will bring. Link to post Share on other sites
Enceladus 474 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 @Buzzsaw You stated a while back, that assuming you do move on to another module after Desert Wings that the Bismarck and Bay of Biscay map would possibly be included as a side map to the major, yet to be disclosed map. Just wondering if this is still in the plans? Thank you, and good luck. Link to post Share on other sites

Just wondering if this is still in the plans? Thank you, and good luck. A Bay of Biscay map would be a relatively easy one to create as it would be 90% sea, with only a portion of Cornwall, Bretagne and southern France. It would be a side map, not the focus of a module. It would not be of much use in Multiplayer, mainly for singleplayer campaigns focusing on the British campaign versus the U-Boats and sub bases as well as potentially a 'what if' scenario involving the Bismarck fleeing its encounter with the Hood and Prince of Wales and heading for the safe haven of Saint-Nazaire. But this map is a much lower priority than a full scale campaign map similar to what we created for TOBRUK. Link to post Share on other sites
NZLKastellion 11 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 @Buzzsaw Assuming Tobruk works out well for TFS, what are the chances we could see the Tobruk map expanded east/west to cover the furthest advance of Operation Crusader and Alamein for the full Western Desert experience in the future?

Karaya 414 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 That would have to be a seperate map then I suppose. I dont think the existing map can just be expanded. Link to post Share on other sites

How about Operation Torch, Malta, Sicily, southern Italy instead Absolutely! I agree 100% Moving away from Med theathre would put TFS in collision route with IL2 and othe sims. Europe had been already "simulated" zillion times, as Flanker says. The Med theatre instead is an extremely rare yet extremely interesting scenario, since it offers the possibility to fly uncommon planes and to have combined operations between air/land/sea forces with all the playing consequences. I feel meaningless to move away from the Med theathre. Instead, you should expand the scenario towards Malta campaign, El Alamein, Sicily and following Italy campaign, where all the best of the allied planes can be added among some gem like C205, Re2005, G55 both in cobelligerant and RSI markings... As for now, C200, Ba65 and SM79 are *urgently* needed. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

No.501_Osprey 68 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Is there a reason why VR isn't mentioned? Or is this considered a feature? VR is a big complaint now. ACG have decided to go to Tobruk from Kuban for our next campaign but the VR guys aren't pleased about it and that's understandable. This will commence early Summer there there will be a period of a few extra DWT sales and 1 fat server online on a Sunday for the duration. Link to post Share on other sites

Hello Osprey VR is and continues to be a priority for development. We have discussed this with 1C and they are also in agreement this feature should definitely be a part of the next module, with retroactive implementation for BLITZ and TOBRUK at the same time if not earlier. We are currently focused on the implementation of the trueSKY weather and cloud software... it is taking longer than we hoped for a number of reasons. Once that is finished, VR is #1 in the code team development priority list. Link to post Share on other sites

343KKT_Kintaro 358 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 MY WISHES: Please Team Fusion Simulations, keep modelling FOREVER every sub-variant or specifically modified aircraft as an independent flyable in the game. Blitz + Tobruk this is 20 types distributed in 140 flyables (variants and sub-variants). NO OTHER flight simulator in the whole history of computer simulation did that before, the Dover series is the only sim on earth with such an awesome level of detail and accuracy. Please always keep it that way, especially now that you are developing a new add-on. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I must say that no matter how awesome the new weather is (and I have no doubt it will be awesome), lack of vr is something inhibiting literally hundreds if not thousands of potential customers from picking up and playing CLoD, including myself now that I have seen the light LOL. In my own squad of 15-20 pilots, nearly half are vr and that is increasing every month that goes by. VR in GB is greatly limited by the game engine (read performance issues like time dilation) so I especially await CLoD's vr implementation as I forsee it being spectacular due to the superior game engine that supports literally hundreds of AI units without a major performance hit. The challenging AI and exquistie damage, systems, and engine modeling will also be quite an upgrade compared to GB. If I owned a large screen and track ir, I would still play CLoD, but many of us vr enthusiasts have downsized our kit so we patiently await what is to come. Link to post Share on other sites
OneGunnerUnder 2 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 A flyable C-47 or Li-2 would be incredible, or some other allied transport aircraft to balance out the JU-52. I am partial to the C-47, though 😉 Link to post Share on other sites

I am partial to the C-47, though 😉 A Li-2 makes no sens in the game as it is, unless the next theatre of operations is located in Eastern Europe, and in my opinion this is very unlikely. I go for the C-47 in the next add-on, wherever it is located but only if the USA is present in the theatre of operations TFS chose. A Ju 52 is advisable, undoubtedly, as useful in all the already existing maps (Battle of Britain and Desert War). 1 Link to post Share on other sites

adrianadunne 6 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Probably not the most popular aircraft, but how about something completely different, the Fiesler Storch.

LarryLudwig 6 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I would like to see more of what the guys here have done with AI working coop with players. Larger formations and more AI filling in the roles of flights that the players don't care to do. What has been done so far with your campaigns is really quite incredible.

Mysticpuma 1239 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Just a QMB like the original IL2:1946 would go a long way for Single Players or something like the work SYN_Vander has done on IL2: BoX which is an external utility that allows players to create a multitude of Single Player Missions and Online and then be able to load the Mision in the FMB and tweak it if required. This would be a great utility for CloD if no further work on a QMB or QMB interface is ever going to happen. 7 Link to post Share on other sites
Avimimus 625 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I'd go for a few more ground objects: Thoughts and suggestions for additional objects - Tobruk Missions & Campaigns - IL-2 Sturmovik Forum It would be good to have an AI MC.200, an Italian trimotor bomber, and one early war Italian multipurpose aircraft for the Gladiators to hunt (Probably an IMAM Ro.37 or maybe a Capronio Ca.133 or Ca.31X). These aircraft would really make the Italian plane-set better represented. I'm also a bit fascinated by the Battle of France... a few AI aircraft would be neat: The fascinating Battle of France & its aircraft - some idle imaginings - General Discussion - IL-2 Sturmovik Forum But Malta and a Fairey Swordfish would be pretty neat... I do hope negotiations go well. Link to post Share on other sites

So in CloD QMB, how do I choose the Winter Map for the British Column Attack, then load up an aircraft and change the loadout for it? Genuinely intrigued at how versatile the CloD QMB as I must truly have missed how much tweaking can be done? So this is the 1946 FMB with BAT update from SAS allowing a few other maps and loadouts, but the options are still the same. You can build your Single Mission whether it be a ground attack, a dogfight, a scramble if your base is under attack, you can choose if you have an advantage or disadvantage, you can choose any map, your flight position, weather, etc, etc: And this is CloD, where you can't even change the loadout in QMB, can't change the map the prebuilt missions are created for.....and you prefer it? Genuinely trying to understand why you think the CloD one is better? Edited February 24 by Mysticpuma Link to post Share on other sites
TDK1044 32 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 A little more airfield ground activity would be nice when you're returning from a mission.
