Yea, one would think if the AI had been significantly improved that 1C would want to highly publicize those improvements and show it in action. There is still 16 days left until early access.

Yeah...Luke did say something about if the team wanted to show the AI they would...which rings alarm bells, as surely if they had significantly improved it, they'd definitely want to show it off? As you say, still time to show it, so fingers crossed!

We are continuing our Gameplay Feature video series today, where we take a closer look at different features and elements of Korea. IL-2 Series.

This episode is dedicated to Career Mode — one of the key game modes where players will be able to follow the path of a combat pilot, complete missions, take part in the progression of the campaign, and feel like part of the Korean War events.

Seriously Dev's, thank you. Thank you for keeping SP/Career options at the forefront of the process. Thank you for adding depth and what appears to be fairly extensive pilot, aircraft, and squadron customization options. No idea if they read this forum, but thank you nonetheless. I'm really looking forward to the release, more so now than previously.

Hi,

I am contacting you at LukeFF's request to participate in the IL2 Korea beta test.

I am already part of the IL2 Great Battle beta test team.

It was in response to this post that Luke asked me to contact you.

 

Best regards

Interesting video. Does the planes in a section of 2 per flight has any gameplay impact, using wingman formation and tactics? 

[Riderocket]

Super excited for this

The video is ridiculously fast, but if you slow it down to 0.25x speed you get a good impression of what the interface will be like to use... Plus 0.25x speed gives an indication of what my framerate will be like in cockpit

This is bloody amazing!!!! As a single player only, the career mode is the life and soul of the sim for me. Some really nice nuggets in there...including the ability to start missions parked up, amazing!

I ran it at 50% with a lot of pausing.

In general I would advise 1CGS to give the content a bit more room to breath, rather than rushing through it. Let us actually take a proper look!

LukeFF, this looks very emersive and good for us SPs. The rapid fire videos showcasing some of the features is a bad idea, tell whoever is making them to lay off the Red Bulls or Monsters. Seriously, a normal speed vid would be much more informative and a better selling tool. Having to slow the video to 25% to really digest what is presented is just stupid. 

Now what hangs in the balance is the AI and Comms? We have seen virtually no info regarding either of these???

I was praying this career video would at least have some AI snippits...but no...which is a real shame.

I am really curios whether all this SP system makes any sense after all and your whole squadron is not wiped out after a few missions. I hope the AI tries to stay alive like real world pilots. I have not seen any statistics about sunken uboats or ships which at least is great.

Sadly, that also indicates that it involves 5 minutes of clicking through multiple screens to do anything...

Will career mode have squadron markings on aircraft, even if its just a simple generic coloured band? What about the USAF wing commanders aircraft with those colourful band markings on them - those red, blue, yellow, green, white "rainbow" schemes - even if its just a generic flash across the tail?

I notice in the RESOURCES screen FUEL, EQUIPMENT, and WEAPONS are listed by not VODKA. Design oversight?  😉

Just a picky suggestion for devs: shouldn't it be called "Munitions" instead of "Weapons" ?

It's already been updated to say "ordnance" instead.
