Unless you're new to the IL-2 series and you don't know about maps like Moscow, Stalingrad, etc.
Big enough to play good online missions and not Unreal Tournament.

And you do understand that this game is about coops and not about arcade dogfights, right?

And you like flying at tree top level over the city, with 30+ players and flak all around and bombs blowing up ground targets in a full real server, with every possible details maxed out (including effects=2) in iL2 over Moscow... I don't...

I will repeat that I'm talking about online coops and specifically online wars.
I, and many others, don't care at all for online dogfight servers.
They're good only to test a plane or something else (i.e new stick) - nothing more.
In any case, although I agree that small online maps are necessary, the game is nothing without big realistic online map.
Anyway, I have faith in OM and I know that he is aware of the real needs of a big part of the commnity and being himself a lover of realism I think that pretty soon we'll see a solution.

Here's my proposition for a playable historical map of smaller size.

I am not joking, I have been playing IL2 since FB. You and me share the same passion I guess: To re-live the WW2 as historical as possible, well some people do not like that, they want quick action, have you ever seen how many arcade dogfight servers there have been in HL? That just might explain my comment.

For historical co-ops I will use the BoB map, as historical, maybe restricted to Kanalkampf for larger co-ops but I guess we'll have to live with it for a while.

as someone who was involved in the VOW team in the past, i cant imagine that the BoB scenario will give a good COOP online war IMHO...

we have to wait what possibilities of scripted dogfightservers CoD will give. I guess thats the way to at least play the BoB scenario.

and in total, the COOP online wars in IL2 are not completly over, but their 'good' times are

anyway, i will still use the game a lot in the FMB like in the past in Il2.

at least the FMB should run ok

This is funny Dover-free "Cliffs of Dover". Planes mysteriously stolen into bermuda triangle, where all is islands and water, water everywhere.

Well, I kinda disagree, although I doubt that I'll ever gonna work in an online war again.

A war like VOW or VF is easily doable in this map/scenario and I think that we can see some fantastic scenarios, as long as we're ready to accept the possibility of invasion of either side to enemy's territory

What we need is:
1) Realistic online map (the big map please)
2) New "blood" of programmers/administrators, who will develop these new online wars

Anyway, first of all we need a game...playable!
