10th.īattle of Stalingrad – 66% OFF for the first time ever!įw-190 A-3, La-5 series 8, P-40E-1 and MC202 Collector Planes - 50% OFF Our Spring Sale has started on Steam and the Website - it runs from Apr. Speaking of padding out one's personal IL-2 hangar with aircraft for online multiplayer (especially the dynamic campaign servers discussed above, to span the length of the campaign with preferred aircraft listed in the chart), or taking advantage of spanning campaigns with a single player career, their Spring Sale has started: If you are really keen, you'll end up splashing out of more stuff, although I don't find BoX sufficiently appealing at the moment to go beyond the "dabbling level". BoS is probably the most flexible and, as suggested, padding it with a collector aircraft might give the necessary flexibility to cover the remaining maps. BoK aircraft are rather late, and might be prohibitive at times. The Finnish Virtual Dynamic and Coconut Expert servers each use its own planeset, but their concept is very similar to the Tactical Air War example given. If you fly single-player, you are basically flying on your own server, so must own both the aircraft and the map you want to use.įalkenberg gave a good summary of the BoX situation. But hey, thanks for the snarky smiley face! And this is definitely not a case of I'm more cool than you because I like Lady Gaga and she is more popular than Miley Cyrus, or even my-sim-is-bigger-than-your-sim style dick comparisons.this is about practical combat flight simmers being realistic about where they can go to pursue their hobby and get in quality combat time. Again, attempts to convince the gullible that there is no practical difference in online playability between RoF and Il-2 because their cumulative numbers fall short of some other set of games, is simply a lie. Your RoF WG server accumulated 1450 player hours for the entire month of March, and "Since Wargrounds is still the most consistently popular RoF server by a substantial margin" according to you, I guess thats as good as it gets in RoF these days. The total player hours accumulated thus far for the month of April, on that particular server, as of April 2 nd is 1453 hours.Meanwhile in Rise of Flight there are 2 people in Wargrounds and 3 in NFF. Good numbers can frequently, from experience, be expected to continue for most of the day, and will ease off somewhat during American primetime, but unless the server crashes, one can still assume the numbers will be eminently playable during those hours as well. It isn't a fluke, or some outlying snapshot. No need for Flight Simulation anymore at all, not even Vatsim.Īnd just for fun from me as well: I have no idea where you are getting your Il-2 numbers from, but as I sit here writing this post this morning, there are currently 82 out of a possible 84 pilots in WoL. I guess by your logic, Fourspeed, we all ought to be spending our time in Minecraft or World of Warcraft.
