The mods to IL2 1946 hastened the end of il2 in my opinion. And don't come with "that there are still a lot of ppl playing il2". They are just a fraction of the ppl playing IL2 before. Initially the mods excited the community: ah, wow, great new toys. Now I can show off my super correct best fm plane as I am so much smarter than anybody else. The problem was (and is) that everyone thinks that he or she is smarter than anybody else. So we ended up with a trillion mods - each of which are true to history according to its author. As a consequence we also ended up with servers each with its own mod pack and its own realism setting. It became a pain in the **** to find a suitable combination of mod+realism setting let alone nice missions. It was basically impossible to find a vanilla-full realism server (so a nomod-full realism combination). For me the mods killed IL2 1947 mp. I did never touch it again.
