Uhm.... there's another bug they can't fix... AI planes that spawn late in the mission, only the host can see them, no one else can.

Not a big deal, but was supposed to be fixed in 1.2.

The biggest problem with Il2 is waiting for the very few guys that host relatively realistic missions... or the guys that are willing to host early war missions.

It gets so tiresome waiting for a coop to fire up, you finally launch, load the mission... find out it's loaded with Il2 3M, Yak9T, Yak-3, La5FN, Yak9K, 109G6 Late, 109G6/AS, 190A8...

Then the dogfight servers are largely populated by the "pop the flaps to slow down quickly" crowd that are only competent when in the La5FN.... can find very few if any good servers with a good plane setup and ground targets...

Well, can you tell me the distinguishing factor between this, and the N1k/La7/Spit Hordes in Aces High?

Again, is this not how it works in Aces High? The only difference I see with Aces High, is that you may see ahead of time the aircraft that are intended to be used along with what ordinance loadout prior to joining.

I'm not comparing it to AH, you are.

I am expressing my dislike for the lack of servers that have good setups, in a game where every host can set up different eras.

It is no different than AH in terms of who flies what, and that's why I am disappointed.

I agree about limited servers of quality in IL2.

It's much like H2h in that respect.
Now if they could implement something like the future Mission Arena.... I'd be spending a lot of time there.
