Who has the best IL-2 Online Server?

[greypeace]

Talking about ON LINE play

I never played on line as I had no ADSL
Now I have a capped contract
I would like to know a few things to see if I can at last try the online facilities.
Here goes:
1/ price
2/ traffic consumption (due to capped contract)
per hour if possible ... bytes in + bytes out as they are counted for the cap

That would allow me to decide if I can afford it.

Although the cheating spoken about disgust me.
That is only a game .Cheating is nothing to be proud of

Thank you all ... starting with Oleg......

I have been biting my tongue as to how many recommended a really bad server, and have overlooked a great server so here goes.

So true..Wind of War should be given an award for very high standards!!!


I was in there the other night. How refreshing.

Great pilots great maps, fantastic server settings, it's how all servers should be set up! Cheech< great map maker btw
IKYO ,Guse and all the guys that contribute to the server should be commended and noticed.

The server should be used. Its great!

They started to host Forgotten skies and lost the crowd for a bit but now they have the winds of war server running 24/7 so get back in there folks.



Maps are great plane sets are great.
The server is fast and strong and there is a stats page and forum.

In comparison Sv109 is not even in the same league.

Why so many recommend and fly in S v109 is beyond my comprehension .

After donating $ over the years
(with out a single thank you by the way)
to Sv109 I don't like what its become. An over rated laggy server.

I would not recommend it now.

The maps have to many objects that are just slapped down and not tested for smooth game play.
As a result the server has lots of problems in regard to game play.

Its just not a smooth server.
It is not my system either.
I run a very fast computer with gobs of ram Quad core and a kick butt video card along with a business class broadband connection. I find it still a poor server.

It seems that a rented server should be much smoother.
Its simply sub par.

I have found over many years its best to recommend to others only the best. Sending out the wrong word of mouth recommendation is a dis service to who you are recommending something to.
In real life it can come back and bite you in the Ass.

That said,
I suppose its a mater of standards, some like velvet Elvis posters too. To each their own.

A maps can be made with both an inversive object/objective based system as well as smooth game play.

It involves taking the time to test the maps carefully.

The winds of war guys test the maps out before they are put into the cycle for smooth game play. If their maps do not pass muster they are not used . no mater how cool they look.

Winds of War also keeps the game as it was meant to be played with out mods.
Therefor file integrity is protected.
This also leads to very smooth game play.

Like to use mods??
They also do offer a really well managed alternate server that allows for the proper use of mods Called.......WAR WINGS
Its very well policed and a shining example of how an official wrapped or bundled mod pack would be of benefit to the community.
They make sure that everyone who plays in that server has the SAME MODS installed. You must be trusted and registered to play on that server.
Now thats the correct way to deal with mods.
By keeping things uniform throughout.

spits V 109 on the other hand allows any and every mod in there and its a mess do to the file conflicts.
The server also cant handle the #'s that fly in there.
Its wile nilly and game play shows the end result of that kind of mismanagement.

Sorry to bash spits V 109 so much but after lots of $ into it over the years I am very disappointed it how it is run lately.

Why more don't fly wind of war is beyond me.. It provides a far better, smoother game play experience than the other server that the masses fly in.

Some of the best servers out there are unpopulated, its very sad.

Historia for example was fantastic but again fell by the wayside.
I just don't get it.

Just because lots fly in a server doesn't mean its a good server.
Don't follow the heard.
Raise your standards and treat yourself to a Quality server.

There is a better alternative.

Winds of war gets an A+A+ as far as servers go be sure!

Thanks for your comments Rave

We invite everyone to download the skin packs as both of our servers are skin DL. If you do not wish to download the skins and netcache files you might experience a burp here and there.

Quite a few I like to fly in that have already been mentioned, the best for me regarding all aspects like missions, skins on, players that frequent it, settings etc. has to be "UK Dedicated 3".

Superb server IMO.

<Rant against Spits vs. 109's>

And you wouldn't be biased towards an FA server, would you, FA_Raven ?

Zeke vs Wildcat is my all time favorite. About as good as it gets for a DF server immersion.

Warclouds is also good but forsakes realism for balance when it comes to the missions/planesets. Make sure to get on WC TS though as most of the pilots are on there, working together.

If your into co-ops then look for a guy called Aviar on HL. He has some very good co-ops.

Hi Zinger, To clarify I am -=FA=-RaVen (forgotten Assassins)
http://www.forgottenassassins.com/ It's a totally different squad than
FA(Fallen Angels)
In our -=FA=- We have our very own server called (Guts_Glory) I did not mention our server in the post.
I have mentioned it in this thread put not in the post your referring to.

So I think that I am anything but bias.
I'm just speaking plane truth.
Try for your self. You will see what I'm talking about.

It is an honest mistake no worries m8. Our squads get confused allot -=FA=- has been around a very long time.
My post is my own and I am not speaking on behalf of my squad for the record.
Thanks for your concern
