My money is still on Sicily. I won't rule out a late Eastern Front

ANVIL-DRAGOON  from Corsica to the Alpes,

A lot of Blue Mediterranean sunny sea and beaches, even palmtrees, lots of Blockhaus and pillbox, airborne and beaching ships with a mix of Allied Forces...........

Has the Pacific been ruled out for good?

Not for good, but they did say that the very next module won't take place in the Pacific.

I cannot imagine Jack has any more aircraft left to add, he must surely have used them all by now.:lol:

 

If not, why not? :drinks:

 

Take care and be safe.

One of the best " what if...."  Kriegspiel thema,  large surface of blue water, few towns and bare lands, no tanks,  airborne,  naval guns, torpedoes.....

Maybe even some F4U ( from Wasp raids ?) ???

Now you're talking! ?

An almost perfect planeset - replace the Do17Z (have it as a collector) with the SM.79; also the 109E-4 - have all three of CR.42, G.50 and MC.200 - and we're good to go.

So that's two of us who want to see Epirus. And I thought it was just me ?

Welcome on board - let's get a movement going! ?

I do not understand why the Beaufighter Mk.II or V could be relevant for any MTO scenario...

Anti ship mission...was also a heavily armed fighter and a nightmare for Axis planes like Ju 52 or bombers low flying..

More about the variant than the type. Both variants mentioned are merlin engined fighters. Only 2 MkVs were built. Pretty sure the MkII never served in the med.

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.

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.

Ok, I see where you’re coming from. But it was just a wacky, but well meaning suggestion. It came from a good place.

Oh, I meant like a comprehensive map covering an area of 300 x 300 km or more of the Kursk area.  Something like a Stalingrad or Moscow sized map is what I had in mind.

0%. Take the existing aircraft and fly them on the existing TC map.  Problem solved.

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.

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...

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.
