Playing online, even in the most carefully structured historical war, with the most serious & dedicated enthusiasts, I cannot escape all the 21st century chatter about PC's, pings, track IR, teamspeak, AI, pets, spouses, etc. etc. It ruins the experience for me. If I'm in a mission in Summer 1940, I don't want to hear or see anything that isn't in existence in 1940. It's nothing against the great guys doing the online wars, the problem is my own puritanism about putting myself 100% in 1940, at least in what I see and hear from my monitor and speakers.
Like csThor, I'm only interested in seeing/hearing the history in it's most basic and starkest form possible. In any case, according to Oleg, it was well documented years ago that the huge majority of Il-2 users were strictly offline, a fact that Ilya is surely aware of. I suspect MP is considered the "low hanging fruit" at this point when rebuilding the AI is apparently such a herculian task.
