Online is definitely fun. The coms part is what really makes it. If you have a laid back atmosphere you can easily find yourself getting in trouble at work because of lack of sleep
There are going to be those that care about stats or whine when they get shot down.
But when you go at with the fun it's supposed to be, it doesn't get much better than flying in a team. IL2 is infamous for it's crap planes. There's nothing like getting 8-10 of your squad together with everyone jumping in a TB3, expecting full well to get destroyed
But I would not be playing any flight sims if I wasn't talking to my mates. It add soo much more to flying. And then when you hop it up into a SEOW or ADW type situation, or a fully immersed depiction of war with a bunch of your squad, it's almost exhausting and exhilarating at the same time. But soo worth it.
I can not stand SP and that's no offense to anyone that likes it. But when I know I'm flying or participating against a robot, I just can't seem to feel really there. And that's the point to me. Humans make the sims as dynamic as it can be. And after all the MP stability issues / game issues are sorted, expect to see many ongoing online campaigns from us.
To each their own, but if you haven't given coms or MP a chance, hop in our coms and prepare to have fun
And bring plenty of this: (Thanks to Kristorf!)
