Jackfraser24 Posted October 18, 2022 Author Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Here’s a mad idea. Now I don’t know multiplayer as well as I think I should, but what if there was a multiplayer server where everyone joins forces against AI, no matter what Air Force or aircraft of origin you fly in? It would be against a fictional Air Force with fictional aircraft but with an equally realistic flight and damage model to the real WWI and II aircraft we already have? I suggest this because there is a lot of world tension and division at the moment, and that many of us forget that we are all human, no matter what race or religion we are, where our views on the political spectrum lie, or which jealous lover Bella Swan should have ended up with (which I couldn’t care less because the novel which neglected character development and encouraged naive girls to pursue an abusive relationship, Twilight is pure and utter fiction, which many teenagers in the 2000s and early 2010s forgot). On a more serious and relevant note, I guess what I am trying to say is is that we could all do with IL-2 giving a reminder that we are all folks with differences, and to inspire us to unite against the real threat - AI going rogue!

In old il-2 there used to be servers similar to this, but without the AI. Free aircraft selection on both sides, island maps, icons on (otherwise you don‘t know who to shoot at). It even had open cockpits and externals. It was fun. Could work in CloD I guess with the AI and island maps, but in BoS I‘m afraid it would be too much for the server and player pcs. 1

And how is it not political to suggest that some completely delusional fantasy of AI going rogue is a worse threat than some of the things going on today, caused exactly by that political spectrum? Implying that some science fiction story is a bigger threat than he-who-shall-not-be-named-here is a very political statement in itself. Also, this is a WW1/2 flight sim. Not Terminator: Air Wars. 1

Jackfraser24 Posted November 7, 2022 Author Posted November 7, 2022 If any of the following three titles were announced it would make my day. IL-2 Battle of Kursk Heaps of tanks and other ground targets to strafe. Heaps of pilot career missions to choose from since thousands of planes were used there. IL-2 Battle of Malta Its not Midway but its a start. British carriers and carrier aircraft. Heaps of aircraft were used. There would be many pilot career missions to do. Early war Italian aircraft like the C.R.42, SM.79 and CANT Z.1007 would be available. The Hurricane Mk.II would have another useful place to be flown in. IL-2 Battle of Sicily The Fiat G.55, Maachi Mc.205 and Reggiane Re.2005 would be added in. All very beautiful yet potent planes. Earlier versions of the P-38, P-47 and P-51, and later versions of the P-39 and P-40, and the Spitfire Mk.Vc and Hurricane Mk.IV would become available. Apache and Beaufighter Mk.VI would be in there as well. Mt Etna 1 1

ITAF_Rani Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 With Sicily Malta and part of South Italy we can have well a time frame of operations since 41 to 43.... I dream to fly an SM 79 for torpedo mission against Royal Fleet... 1 2
Jackfraser24 Posted November 9, 2022 Author Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) I think Italy and Sicily is out of the question unfortunately because it would be too difficult to model buildings on very narrow streets. What would it take to do it though? That leaves Malta Finland Kursk Balaton Map east of Berlin (to bad Berlin is too big to be modelled) Manchuria (maybe, you never know) Atlantic (? Possibly…) Ireland (just kidding. But still, with a population of nearly 3 million during the Big One there were no major cities other than Dublin, Belfast and Cork). Beautiful country.
