Great Battles Future


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hi Everyone who reads this.

 

I just want to ask a question. Where would the mainstream Great Battles module most likely go after Battle of Normandy? 
 

Would it be somewhere on the 1944-45 time period on the Eastern Front? 
 

Or Italy in places like Sicily, Anzio or Monte Cassino? 
 

Or even Southern France, for example Operation Dragoon? 
 

Or somewhere else? 
 

What ever you think is most likely, why don’t you suggest what aircraft list would most likely go along with it?

 

Thank you

No one knows. 
I bet even the gamedevs do not. 
For sure, we will find it out closer to the BoN release.

Holy schnikes!!! I hadn't even thought about that. We had better get this hashed out like right quick!

I have resigned myself to understanding that it will take place somewhere on the planet and involve aircraft of that period.

You are ruling out IL-2:Nazi Moonbase vs the Red Martians? ☹️

I love everything ?

 

I think that, within the community, a couple of options are considered more likely than others. Italy 1943, Berlin 1945 or somewhere else late Eastern Front are often suggested. I myself don't entirely discount the Pacific; e.g. Guadalcanal or Burma could basically be done with current technology, provided they can find enough info to make high-quality models of a couple of the Japanese planes.

I'm not really interested in SCW or the Italian front, so probably one of those.

Whatever it is, I hope it's early war.

I honestly wish to go to whatever scenario where Axis don't get any new 109s or 190s, the weirder the planes the better. Preferably go pacific, but that is just a pipedream for me now.

I stopped caring so there is a chance for PTO to be next!

How long before this become pure PTO thread discussing land based and carrier based planeset and possibilities??

Finland is the only way, shape or form I ever wish to go back to the eastern front.

 

Unless we're talking way, WAY east. I'll gladly fly Manchuria.

Janson said they'll do either Barnstorming or The Schneider Trophy. They'll flip a coin later today. It's gonna be epic.

Everything would be grate, except next east front expansion, or next expansion with more 109s, 190s variants, so only Pacific or Korea remains xD

An early war scenario that doesn't consist entirely of cutting edge uber fighters!

 

Fall Weiss - Poland 1939

Unternemen Weserubung - Denmark & Norway 1940

Fall Gelb - France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands 1940

Operation 25 - Yugoslavia 1941

Barbarossa Soviet Union 1941

Maybe a late war Eastern Front scenario featuring Ta 152, La-7, and Yak-3.

Quick advance make it hard to find a map suited for a career and very hard to create a German planeset with fighters

How about Spanish Civil War? I suspect many of the types could then be used in early war campaigns.

I mean heck yeah I'd buy that for a dollar or eighty.

Seems extremely unlikely but that kinda combat would be my JAM.

I'd like it to be Malta or Burma, but I sure that is just wishful thinking.

Great Battles Barking Creek.

 

Okay, might be a limited plane set but think of the epic multiplayer - perfect for VR, no more bitching about team killing?

Edit; never mind BoBC will be TFS6.

Operation Avalanche or B24's over Ploesti ??

True, but the advantage is that you can re-use the map for 1944. If they do a Leningrad map , they could use it for pretty much the whole war.

But it wouldn’t be Barbarossa - the starting date would be similar to moscow. But Leningrad would be my first candidate for a collectors map - allowing us to fly careers for almost all eastern front aircraft we currently have.

Balkans, Crete and Malta. Might have expansion possibilities with carrier operations too which could then lead to Pacific Theatre. Baby steps.

I'd agree with your reasoning as to why they won't happen, but it would be really nice to have some more esoteric types in the planeset.  Perhaps Ugra will hear our pleas and do a Finland / Leningrad map al la Il-2 FB and some exotic collector planes.

I've had a couple of ideas:

 

1) Devs complete the promised content, then spend some time supporting and further polishing and improving whatever has already been created. 

(I understand that new products = funding, but if there is a way to relax the in-office pressure whilst continuing to improve the sim, I support that.)

 

2) A module that's not necessarily a sim, but a walk-through aviation museum.   It could be a large building with each wing/section dedicated to each country's planes along with region-appropriate architecture.  There could be walk-around models of the planes, hands-on exhibits such as engine and weapon models that could be disassembled and re-assembled. Libraries showing the documents that the devs used to build the plane models and a move theater for viewing historical films and photos.  Then there could be a room for the staff credits and in-studio commemorations too.  I'm sure there are other possible exhibits that I haven't thought of as well.

 

I would definitely buy something like that.

I asled about single map concept, and they said they have no interest in just building maps without DLC.

 

To me it makes good idea to build collector maps of areas that saw big air battles, but you cant make 5v5 as you already have most of airplanes that saw action there in DLCs. There is planty of maps for east front that would be good to have but you cant make DLC now.

 

Just sell map and SP campaign for it, for MP its like now free to play over it so no problems like in other flying games.
