"In the end I would like to highlight that since the CO-OP mode is intended for short missions, we plan to restore the ability to launch a multiplayer server directly form the game and allow a host player to become one of the players on this server. There will be a way to host a multiplayer server either using the dedicated server utility, as it happens now, or directly from the game. Basically this will be like it is now in Rise of Flight."
This is absolutely great news. This is one step in winning me and I imagine many, many others back to the IL2 BOS/BOM/BOK series. Still looking for the Mod Switch to be integrated also.
The Air Marshall idea for MP sounds like a very good idea(new) and does appeal to me as a non MP person to tempt me back into MP. Having somewhat coordinated flights grouping at certain airfields and leaving together to attack or defend certain critical areas or targets will be good. This may even help integrate Veteran pilots with newbs and ease them into the sometimes Harsh world of MP.
1C is waking up by finally fixing some of the most glaring problems and actually integrating features that have been long called for alongside some new ones that sound interesting. Fix the DNE where it can handle more planes and assets in missions to bring the war alive and I think I will have to buy BOM and BOK. Keep it up guys, I am looking for Good reasons to purchase your products and your recent announcements have peeked my interest. Seeing them implemented into the Sim will be the ultimate fulfillment of your commitment to your present and future customers. Good Luck.
