Campaign

[Ban..kai!!!]

Hello, how is the campaign for this game?.
It is comparable to il 2 great battles?

There are set of static scripted campaigns - 4 in Clifs of Dover (2 original from 2011 and 2 new) and 9 in DLC Desert Wings. Most of them are 10 missions long, some campigns shorter - 8 missions long. However I didn't play them (I tried "Their finest hour campign" and my game start lagging). There isn't built-in dynamic campaign or "Pilot's career" like in Il-2 Great Battles.

If you want some sort of "Pilot's career" mod like in Il-2 Great battles you should get 3rd party dynamic campaign generators. For first try I recomend DynMis by theOden. This generator easy to install and easy to use. Gameplay wise it prety cool. In comparsion to Il-2 GB "Pilot's career" this generator creates more dynamic missions with a large number of aircraft, and your actions can affect the movement of the front line while frontline in Il-2 GB actualy static and not affected by player actions and moves by time script.

Another cool generator is " Self-Inflicted dynamic campaign" or SIDC for short. This generator uses factories mechanic (this mechanic is unique for this generator). Squadrons get their planes from factories, so if you destroy all enemy factories enemy squadrons are doomed since they can't make up for losses. However this generator is harder to install and use.

In conclusion default singleplayer is seems kinda generic and boring, but with 3rd party mods it became interesting and enjoyable and actualy live up to modern standards.

I understand.

I've played most of the campaigns added with Desert Wings-Tobruk and they're actually really good. Desert Hawks, Rising from the Ashes, On Ne Passe Pas, Blue Wellingtons, Eagles Over Tobruk are very enjoyable.

This is what kills this game for me. Linear campaigns are dead boring. I'm not a mission fan. I got spoiled by playing all the great dynamic campaign sims. enjoy being one pilot in a bigger dynamic war with rank and even squadron transfers. More games these days could profit a lot more if they had a Dynamic engine like Falcon 4.0/BMS ....EECH....F22 TAW and EF2000, Tornado, Jane’s Longbow 2, WOFF, Red Baron 3d, Rowan’s Battle of Britain and Mig Alley, or WOTR to name a few. With all the resources now and budgets that teams did not have back then. There really is little room for excuses.

This feature is on the top of the list of a good majority of the combat flight sim consumers. I find it really unacceptable to not even attempt it at all, and just concoct excuses as to why they do not. (and Im not talking about IL-2 COD's developers really but the market as a whole)

And this is why many old flight and ground combat sims are still played today, long after modern games are forgotten about. I hope Microprose delivers soon on this (recent Combat Air Patrol 2 -acquisition) and also Helicopter Gunship DEX, because these games with linear campaigns either collect dust on my shelf or are not purchased at all.

This game would benefit from this feature and I do not mean some 3rd party program that runs outside of the game. A good majority or equal number of players do not fly in MP either.

I would love to keep this game installed on my PC because I have COD and the Africa add on but it only goes so far with its linear game play and I end up going back to more enjoyable simulations.

Try theOden's dynamic campaign generator.

It can be found on the official forums, in the CloD Single Player section.

As much as I agree with what you said. No, they will not "profit" off of a small market that desires the perfect dynamic campaign. Falcon has the best Dynamic campaign to this day and look at how small that player base. There is no demand in this market for someone to dedicate their money and time into making such product to satisfy a niche.

For now, best case is to rely on modders or learn to make one yourself. Don't count on any established studio on making a dynamic campaign of the likes of falcon etc.
