As for how I'll play SoW:BoB, I don't know - I don't know what the options will be.

Andy, if you have an issue with the "full real" terminology Oleg uses in his sim, please take it up with him. It is used here on this forum in the context he created for his sim. Everyone knows that, and (most of us) accept it as such.

I voted for online campaigns full real, but to be honest I don't know what will it be until I see it.
IL-2 is completely boring offline and in almost 10 years of playing it, I never spent more than a few hours offline, while I spent hundreds and hundreds of them online.

If BoB manages to be attractive offline, then I'll definitely prefer this option, as online campaigns became huge waste of time in the end (waiting for half an hour to launch a mission, then someone crashes at take off and host restarts, then half of pilots quit and start all over again...). Not to mention other significant matters that came with online campaigns.

So, for the time being (based on IL-2 experience) it'll be online, but I do hope it can become a great offline experience!

Mostly I'll be using FR offline in campaign mode. Online play is nowhere near as "real" as the devotees would have you think.

I like the idea of full-real settings, but only if I can actually take off without killing my virtual self!

Cheers!

I haven't voted, and I won't while it's not anonymous, why is it "public"?

I didn't find a suitable option to choose in the poll so i didn't vote. I think i'll do what i did with IL2.

For offline and campaigns i keep the FM/DM settings at full real, but i enable external cameras and such for the "cinematic" feel and maybe icons/speedbar if i'm a bit bored and just want to have a quick skirmish against the AI.

For online, it is full real or almost full real depending on server settings. For example some may allow the speedbar while others only allow the compass read-out. In any case, i will fly on servers with full FM/DM settings, no icons and no external views, so that people can actually surprise and bounce each other.

just because I clicked too fast when my ritalin wore off sooner than expected.

Biased sample

The majority of Il2 players play offline and never come to forums.

There is an over-representation of online players on online forums because online players tend to usually be online more often than offline players

I will play off line to start as to get the feel for the rig am flying.
Then phase into online part. coop is always fun with your squad m8 but the best part for me is the dog fights.
