Can’t say I’m excited, but will be picking it up. Does IL2 do AI infantry battles? Don’t think I’ve ever seen troops on the ground, just vehicles.

IL-2 account for sale, all modules going cheap! :smiley:

They’re at airfields and manning AAA but I don’t think they are fighting as infantry as far as I know.

curious how that will play out in Normandy. Really impressed with IL2’s weather and terrain graphics. Glad to see the series progressing.

No, and it never will according to announcements I have seen in then past at the Great Battles forums. If I remember correctly it is a European game rating thing.

Infantry was begged for in the RoF days. Performance-wise, they would drag things down considerably, I guess.

And German classification-wise.

Anyway, time to start belting out :musical_score: it’s a long way to Tipperary, its a long way to go :musical_note:

Excited about the Spitfire Mk.XIV (Griffon!) and Ar 234. Rest are interesting, but not standouts, at least to me (I know lots are excited about the Mossie).

Of course, I’ll be picking it up, maybe just not immediately.

You can’t have AI ground battles in European games?

The Mossie is something that honestly entice me as well!
Despite it being so obviously not an A-6…
