I don’t hate IL-2. I want a game good enough to do so as a goal.

I’m not paying Russians, period

If anyone can do it, you can, I believe in you.

Switch over to flying there and start using their BBS, they'll be dead in no time..

I expect you only to return to AH and this BBS once your mission is a success.

I don't understand the hate for IL2. It's pretty small compared to the elephant in the room.

The IL2 BBS is pretty kind hearted. They might tolerate a bit.

Warthunder on the other hand might be a little more hostile.

And these numbers, like the steam numbers are BS too. 300K-500K on how many servers? I think the last time we went around on this the average was 20 players per server for the "game you are currently playing".

If your not going to use ALL the data, why bother using any of the data.

I'm talking about the total number of players in a the game for recruiting purposes and I only mentioned the reported numbers of players on steam is far from accurate for all the games reported there, not just this one.

I think you're talking about "match size" (when you're talking about "players per server") which is currently set to a max of 64 with most being 32. Obviously this could be changed.

The game operates across 7 main server locations worldwide.
In October 2025 alone, the game had over 508,000 daily active players.(but I have people saying I'm here to recruit new players)

Quite obviously you missed my point.

Ironically you don’t pollute IL like you do here with lil girl drama. Do there what you do here.

Nice projection crowd chaser

Excuse me ehile I praise you for a 11 yr old vid that brought one player.

Agreed, totally.

Trips has a good idea. Is it possible? <shrug> if he can make that happen he would create a good name for himself.

It would require very organized wording. One voice one message.

Yes, this seems to be  a problem across the board for most games. The game I'm currently playing shows 100k player peaks on steam and the numbers are usually 3 to 5 times that number.

It seems it would be possible to send the data of the current number of players playing the game to the steam number reporting system to get accurate numbers. I'm not sure why this isn't done as it seems to be a wide spread problem.

HTC should seek partnership with Entropy.Aero (Combat Pilot) and marry his stable mature server tech with their modern UE5 front end.

That would accelerate their timeline by years and give HTC a new lease of life and income for the coming couple for decades.

IMHO, 98.0625% of HTC value is it's server tech, not it's client or gameplay design.  The server tech is being held hostage by a client that just isn't going to cut it in the current competition for players.  And not going to no matter how many player videos you make.

And Entropy.Aero are Americans, not russians.  So there is that.

I doubt they would even require he shut down AH.  I doubt they would really see it as a competitor to their space.  IL2 claims they will someday do Pacific as soon as they are done wasting time with Korea.  IF true, that would be their higher threat.

$0.02.


Imagine their front end with a mature server that can handle 650 players.

It'd be a new beginning for the Genre.  One dominated by Americans again.

We clash often

But I do give credit for a good idea. That is a good idea. Work your magic, make it happen. Get him over here to try MMP. He claims he never heard of AH

I expect a report in two weeks
