Jackfraser24 Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 (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 Edited August 19, 2024 by Jackfraser24 1
Udmurt Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 No one knows. I bet even the gamedevs do not. For sure, we will find it out closer to the BoN release. 1

VBF-12_Stick-95 Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 I have resigned myself to understanding that it will take place somewhere on the planet and involve aircraft of that period. 2 3

AEthelraedUnraed Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 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. 1
Feathered_IV Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 I'm not really interested in SCW or the Italian front, so probably one of those. 2
Luftschiff Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Whatever it is, I hope it's early war. 4 4

SAG Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 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. 1 1 2
Ribbon Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 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??

PatrickAWlson Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 I still want France 1940 as laid out in a post long, long ago. 2 11
Carl_infar Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Everything would be grate, except next east front expansion, or next expansion with more 109s, 190s variants, so only Pacific or Korea remains xD
ilmavoimat Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) An early war scenario that doesn't consist entirely of cutting edge uber fighters!

JG27_Mainz Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Maybe a late war Eastern Front scenario featuring Ta 152, La-7, and Yak-3. 3

pippa101 Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 How about Spanish Civil War? I suspect many of the types could then be used in early war campaigns. 3 3

6./ZG26_Custard Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 I'd like it to be Malta or Burma, but I sure that is just wishful thinking. 1 2
DD_Arthur Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 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.
Mysticpuma Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Operation Avalanche or B24's over Ploesti ?? 2

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. 1
pippa101 Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Balkans, Crete and Malta. Might have expansion possibilities with carrier operations too which could then lead to Pacific Theatre. Baby steps.

Perhaps Ugra will hear our pleas and do a Finland / Leningrad map al la Il-2 FB and some exotic collector planes. 1
69th_Mobile_BBQ Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 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. 1 1

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. 1 2
