Il2 Cliffs of Dover Blitz and Tobruk - News and updates


Recommended Posts

Mystic; I know you’ve still got a hard-on for Oleg but are you going to spam this part of the forum with Cliffs ‘news’ about stuff that might appear between now and eternity?

Why not create just the one thread for CLoD and post in that? Perhaps the forum moderators can help out here and move it all into one topic?

Didn't realise it was an issue, no intention of spamming. 

Anyway, I changed the title of this one, so if the mods want to merge the other two threads into this, hopefully the peace can be restored.

I'm excited about the opportunity to shoot down early B-17s with early FW-190s. It'll be a recreation of why fighter escorts were so badly needed for heavy bombers.

Given TFS's history, I think late 2024 is overly optimistic. I'd guess 2025 at the earliest.

I was going to say “2026”. 😂

Why?... they aren't connected to GB anymore are they... each company can do what they want.

I don't think that is entirely the case? I am sure TFS got Tobruk/North Africa and negotiated that BoX won't go there? 

Be interesting to see what happens now Fulcrum own Clod... does that free 1C of that agreement?

But from a business point of view it makes no sense for IL-2 GBs to do an installment covering BoB, Tobruk or the Channel Front 1941-42. 
They would probably have to include all of the ship and planes in the IL-2 Dover series that saw action in BoB, Tobruk or the Channel Front 1941-42 to actually make it worth their while.

If they did an IL-2 Battle of Tobruk with 10 aircraft plane set and the Gladiator wasn’t included, people would say “this is nice but I’m going back to Desert Wings to fly a Gladiator vs CR.42”. And if the largest ship included was the Tribal class destroyer or Leander light cruiser, people would be going back to Desert Wings to attack battleships and heavy cruisers.

They did say they have doubled their team though and as a professional team working full time, they could easily produce that content? Realistically, what other areas in WW2 are available other than BoB, Africa, Italy and the Pacific? Could they head to the Pacific? I wonder if the new technology they discuss is working aircraft carriers?
