I don't post often but I have to say when I first saw IL2 back in the day, I wanted to drive the vehicles and imagined nice sized online battles with AI and players as well. WWIIOL tried to make combined ops work, but that game is boring and static, not enough people in it and its a subscription based game.
Now with the promise of ground vehicles in this game this is bringing my dream video game to life, slowly. The reason this will succeed is because it is everything WWIIOL isn't. The community can make the campaigns, the community can support servers that are doing awesome. There won't be any strict rules. Mission makers / server admins can make whatever they dream of and if its fun the community will support them. Last but not least, we can have AI! I don't imagine this being all PVP but the tanks and the air, together working towards a common goal IE take this town from the AI / other players or Defend this town from the AI / other players.
I am extremely excited for the future of this game. the possibilities really are limitless.
I want to blast some player tanks with my stuka.
