Comrades, you’re missing a trick,
I’ve done over 32 hours in TAW and the VVs planes are great. The only thing
missing is that great big 1000kg bomb the fascists have, otherwise I’ve had a
blast in the IL-2’s, using rockets, p-tabs and the 37mm cannon, level bombing
in the Pe-2 and A-20 is great fun, when I have them. The
Also had a couple of sorties in the La-5FN and Yak1-b for the first time and
got a couple of kills, great planes, nice to fly.
Klem, you say the 56 missions are boring, well I reckon working together at the
front line in IL-2’s we could take out enemy columns or defensive areas
quickly, especially with other VVS flyers about over the same target. The same
would be true if you took fighters to the same area, oh wait a minute, you did
that with three spitfires last week, don’t go so close to the enemy
airfield!!!!!
Looking forward to tomorrow :)

This is the usual old chestnut when a new sim appears. It's bad enough in BoS
when not everyone has the same maps and therefore not the same aircraft but
we can usually work around that.
We had just this problem when Rise if Fight came out (I think we were a bit
disillusioned with 1C) but most of us didn't like RoF much. FC may be a
better experience, I don't know. These issues have the potential to split a
squad up. Perhaps some are a bit bored with BoS scenarios anyway or want
variety. I certainly miss larger (CoD/IL2 46) air-combat opportunities which
are few in BoS but might improve with BP. OTOH the BoS ground attacks are a
bit boring to me but they're a chance to keep up with you guys. Personally I
don't care what people do because they will anyway and Squads never stay
the same for ever.
Guys you have to decide what you want on an individual basis. As a Squad we
could vote for say BoS on Sundays and FC on Wednesdays which would leave me
out on Wednesdays but personally I have other sims/aircraft to fly. Actually
it might be a good idea to have those options for Squad nights to give
variety and keep the gang interested. I'd probably be a bit of a part timer,
preferring a night in BoS and a night just learning new aircraft or doing
aerobatics in DCS for variety.
Anyway, that's my 2p/2c.
Cheers

I have to admit I am torn now. I might be able to get enough money together
to but Bodenplatte but I like the look of Flying Circus more. If I buy FC
instead of Bodenplatte then I will probably find myself left behind quite
often when the squad wants to fly WW2 and if that is happening I would
probably end up not flying BoX and just flying FC which in turn would
possibly lead to joining another squad. On the other hand, I have not
flown BoX for about 5 weeks now and don't miss it so maybe I would be
wasting my money buying either :-) I will probably have a better idea
when Summer ends.

I loved the open cockpit, wood and fabric gliders the ATC had when I was a
youngster. Shit performance (glide ratio) compared to modern, streamlined,
fibreglass gliders with sleek enclosed cockpits, but much more fun. Whilst I
expect most players will still prefer the higher performance WW2 ac, there’s
a good chance VR could make WW1 a much more ‘real’ experience. The ‘feel’
just isn’t there on a monitor. Being able to feel you’re really in a Camel
cockpit might be more fun than feeling you’re in an enclosed Hurricane
cockpit. I’ll be giving it a go - and the Tigers too - although the beach
has fully occupied this weekend ☀️😎🏊🏼♂️⛺️🏖
