Me too!

If the game gets patched to a point where most of us would consider it complete, and the Battle of Moscow scenario pans out, I think that the next addition should have US planes to continue the spread of theaters and draw in the crowd.

Battle of Britain first made sense since it's a smallish map, not too many planes to make the scenario complete, and there is a general interest in North America, Europe and Russia (three biggest flight sim markets).

Battle of Moscow at this point makes sense since the only market that's willing to keep giving Maddox Games their money is the Russian one.

If they move on to a campaign that has a sufficient number of US planes, then they will be able to draw North America back into the customer pool. They would probably avoid the pacific since the amount of maps, and ship models would be staggering to get anywhere near being acceptable. So possibly a North Africa/Fortress Europe scenario.

The name of the Game at this point is #1. Get the bloody thing to work. and #2. Get some money. They're going to have to go for the widest possible audience they can, and Moscow or the Med isn't going to be enough.

I think that thinking of a single pacific scenario is very unrealistic.
It should get separated in single battles, i.e.
1. Pearl harbor, wake island and philippines when the japanese took it.
2. Later indonesia, new guinea, sumatra, battle of the Java sea and Java, naval battle of midway.
3. Next Marines at guadalcanal, eastern solomones, santa cruz burma.
4. Followed by tarawa, kwajalein, truk, saipan and philippines.
5. And finally to the end.

Just as a idea, to be plucked by the experts.

i guess that have to be said about every theatre of operation. The amount of work that this engine needs ( maps, cockpits, planes, ships) , means that every adon can be 'only' about a special battle ( read limited time frame) IMO.

Didn't UBI made any Pacific expansion impossible by this http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...49&postcount=9 ?

I enjoyed flying aircraft-carrier scenarios in Warbirds BTW. It is fun.

yes, we in the west think the world revolves around us tooo much .. 1C and olegs IL2 is basically that - a Russian WWII flight sim, for a Russian audience. If the Next IL2 game is BOM, fine, I just hope 1C doesn't get bogged down with an inward focus.

I'm still hoping for more flyable BOB planes and maybe a French campaign?

After the next sequel is done, BOB will get quite a few new flyable aircraft.

The Germans will get the 109F, Fw 190, and the Ju 87D.
The British will get the IL-2, the LaGG-3, Pe-3, and the Yak-1.
