Some new official info from ubi forums

[Jaws2002]

I think they should open more layers for skining sooner rather than later. At least for offline. Official Il-2 skins were not exactly impressive. Just looking trough some of the skins delivered with 1946 addon makes one shake his head.

Community Answers – Part 2



Q. How many campaigns are there? One Spitfire, one Hurricane, one 109, one 110?

A. One British campaign, in which you fly the Hurricane and the Spitfire, and one German campaign in which you fly the 109, the 110 and the Stuka.

I don't understand the answer, 1 German pilot campaign and you fly the 109,Ju87 and Me110,do you get moved about to different planes as a single pilot [not likely in the real world] or is it 1 campaign for each plane,which then make 3 campaigns not 1.
As ever from them clear as mud.

this is the same question I asked before.. I posted it here...

the deadline for posting questions is the 21st... you could vote for my question to make sure it gets answered.

Im really hoping for a campaign setup like the old IL2.. where you choose whether you want to be a fighter or a bomber, then you choose which fighter squadron you want to fly for.

I really hope we arent bounced around from plane to plane... going from a 109 to a 110 then to a stuka seems very odd.

I don't recall anyone saying that the disappointingly missing aspects are a good thing. What the noncomplainers have been saying is that the decenters are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Oleg has said the smaller bomber formations are in the base campaigns so that even midrange systems can play them. The dynamic weather will be put fully implemented as soon as it is ready for prime time. We aren't asking for you to not be disappointed, we are too, but just please stop being complete jerks about it. No one is happy that those features are missing, but before anyone can say it is going to ruin the game we need to at least wait till you have the game in hand.

We got a huge life out of Il2 Sturmovik because 1C Maddox continued to support their game, the community made mods and campaigns, and the online aspect. It lives after a decade because of 1C Maddox and this community. Now there seems to be aspects of that same community that are intent on destroying this new outing before it even hits shelves.

Hey the self-destructive tendencies of the flight sim "community" aren't new; just ask some previous producers how much they enjoy a more relaxed relationship to their customers now. With some more effort Oleg will soon be driven away as well, and then we can all go back to whining about the sorry state of the flight sim market, and how everyone is only after money anymore these days and no developer has some enthusiasm left for us

IMHO nobody here can and will destroy this game, the biggest whinners will be the first to buy it.

BTW, I'm suprised that nobody bitches about for example the lack of a bomber campaign.
It could be much worse, I guess.

bombers flying offline at daylight...1940 ??
most propably not realy fun, the AI fighters, enemy AND friendley, can ruin your fun to easy. I personally cant imagine having fun flying a bomber offline in a campaign, at least not with these very vulnerable types of 1940.
For me it is flying fighters offline (what i very seldom do) and bombers online to win a map/mission

[GnigruH]

It was just an example I gave. I don't care about SP at all...
