Quick, Simplified, Arcade Mode/Gameplay

[GiNnTonic]

As someone who enjoys this SIM - but also enjoys quick arcade versions like Warthunder and World of Warplanes - I am curious if there are any plans to bring an arcade-like version of IL2 with company run servers etc?  I think IL2 devs might do the best possible job in putting a game mode like that out into the market.  I hate the flight model in Warthunder and World of Warplanes is too "arcadey".  

 

Anyway, it think an IL2 arcade version would be very popular.

You can - in SP - manually create an arcade mode. Though mouse control unfortunately doesn’t work as well as in Warthunder. 
It‘s a pity - my friends tend to have a more casual interest in WWII aviation - but buying a good joystick for a product you don’t know how much you enjoy is quite an obstacle. Yet in mouse mode the game really isn’t fun.

Yeah...and sometimes i'm in the mood to deep-dive a SIM like experience and other times I just want to blow some things up and think a whole lot less (to relax a bit).  I think the assets in IL-2 are the best...and if they came up with a more simplified game mode with say 3rd person option fighting etc and arcade i think they would be the best in the biz.
