[-332FG-BlackCatActual-]

Will PWCG eventually have and support content for the new module that is coming out?

I can't speak for PAT, but I'm sure he will work on it.

I guess it depends if he wants to wait until full release, or start during beta!  My IL2 journey started after Normandy released, so I don't have any experience there.  As much as I'd love to start seeing the new planes flying around, I also imagine it'd be super annoying for ol' Patty to keep having to rework stuff every time the beta takes a big leap.  My guess is planes come first, then the maps, then Romania/Finland (if the new countries get integrated?)

We have the Odessa map already, and two planes. I do not think we will see a Romanian faction, even if it were needed. Most squadrons around Odessa were Romanian, after all.

Yep, I meant for Pat Wilson's integration timeline, though, rather than in-general.  I don't have Odessa yet, but I have done a few quick missions against the new planes!

Ah sorry i miss understood then! 

 

The new map should be very interesting to play in PWCG. I hope patrick will implement the Romanian squadrons if he adds the map. They were the main Axis force there; only a few Luftwaffe units participated during the siege.

Il16s and il153s vs 109E and IAR80S woud be a interesting matchup!

Planes always come first because they are easiest and also (usually) reusable across maps.  Changes to planes, other than payload changes, really don't affect PWCG too much.

 

Maps are a different animal.  It takes weeks to geta map into PWCG and map changes force me to redo the process, or at least parts of it.  I only do maps when they are finalized and generally curse a lot when they change post release.

How is implementing the Chaika coming along? I absolutely love it, but there's so little to actually do with it in the base game, and it hasn't seem to come to the Campaign Generator. Would love to know if its in the works.

No rushing or pushing of course, just looking for some hope that I'll get to fly some sorties sooner rather than later. Thanks for everything you've brought to the game.
