tattywelshie Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 Just wondering, if I start a campaign off at the start of Moscow, will it run through to Bodenplatte, via Stalingrad and Kuban automatically? Sort of like the vanilla career mode?

Sort of like the vanilla career mode? Yes. In fact, it might even jump maps on you in-between the main time frame for each theater. For example, I was running a Stalingrad campaign and suddenly found myself in Kuban for the next mission because the airfield tables showed my squadron transferred before Stalingrad finished. Transferred out and was back in Stalingrad. That was a few versions ago, so not sure if it still does that. But to answer your question, yes, you can play the entire war from a single campaign. Adding additional pilots will also let you fly every aircraft from every side of the conflict during a single campaign. There's quite a bit of info about doing this in other threads. 1

Yeah I’ve got multiple pilots on the go at the moment, it’s brought a whole new life to IL2 to be honest, a great feature! 1

I modeled the German advance through Kuban in 1942(June and July) as well as the Russian advance in 1943 (March to December) to take it back. Eastern Front Map Dates: Moscow Oct 1941 - Feb 1942 Stalingrad (filler) Mar 1942 - May 1942 Kuban June 1942 - July 1942 Stalingrad Aug 1942 - Feb 1943 Kuban Mar 1943 - Dec 1943 Stalingrad (Faux Bagration) Jan 1944 - Dec 1944 Rheinland (Faux Berlin) Jan 1945 - May 1945 Eastern Front Map Dates: Normandy (Faux BoB 1941) June 1941 - Dec 1941 Normandy (Faux Channel Front) Jan 1942 - May 1944 Normandy June 1944 - August 1944 Rheinland Sept 1944 - May 1945 Obviously, we don't have Normandy yet, but those are the plans. 5

Perfect!

How does Veiluki fit in? Part of Stalingrad? Or east 1944?
