Battle of Malta or Mediterranean - why not?

Anyone remember fighting I-16s with F-2s in VEF missions?

I think 'fighting' is too strong a word Furbs.I prefer 'running away from'...

Tunisia 1942-43 would be nice. American, British, German and Italian a/c.

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?

Sure do you mean old 2001 IL-2? I can't remember if I-16s were flyable then but I did battles with them a lot later in Forgotten Battles. In the 2001 IL-2 days I was flying DID missions Dead Is Dead. F4s came along later in a patch as well as Es and the Stuka in 2001 IL-2.

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.

I am curious. Are you a member of the 1C Company Cliffs Staff or development team? Or did you pick up that information somewhere on this Forum?

Any aircraft built for the sequel can be used in BOB when you merge the products. Russian aircraft were obviously not used in the west, but a few of the german aircraft were, so they could be added for some historical missions.

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

I'm not sure what can be done about the Grumman issue...but I heard speculation on the issue. Some people felt that as long as Ubi didn't use the protected names (of aeroplanes) that Grumman owns...that the likenesses of said aeroplanes could be used in a game. To the best of my knowledge the whole legal issue revolved around the fact that Ubi used copy-written names for aerocraft that Grumman owned...when they (Ubi) where marketing the Pacific theater game. Maybe some with the legal knowledge could enlighten us?

That said...their are areas of the Pacific theater (or at least campaigns that involved Japan) that could be made into a game. For example...the "Chinese Indecent" involved many aerocraft that Grumman didn't make. Also the "Air Battles of Khalkhin Gol" could be modeled. And lastly...the bombing campaign of Japan could be mapped out with B-29's, P-51's and Ki-84's, Ki-61's, Ki-44's, N1k2, Raiden...ect. Its far from complete, but the air battles around Guadalcanal could be mapped out with the Corsair, P-40 and P-39. I know that its far from perfect, but their are some campaigns that could be played out.
