Loved the pacific theatre ever since Aces over the Pacific in 1992 and of course Il2 Pacific fighters. They're the only sims with a wide range of aircraft and campaign modes so would be great to see a modern sim with those boxes ticked.
I'm really excited to see what comes of this new sim! The Pacific theater is so under represented, there is a lot of areas they can be the leader in quite easily.
I still remember pacific strike, and I loved the fact you can talk to the cook, and other people on the ship, i hope the new game will have some characters :D
When I was younger I researched the pacific theater quite a bit and wanted to buy Pacific Fighters when it came out… but my parents wouldn’t let me. I play War Thunder but would like to get into sims, very interested in this! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the appreciation! :) If you like War Thunder and want to get into sims, then give IL2 Great Battles a try. It's on sale often and easier to get into than DCS.
@@svgproductions72 Do you have a gamepad? I mean there are people out there playing even DCS with mouse and keyboard. It's doable... But is it enjoyable? I'm not sure.
I cannot wait! I’ve been playing Il2 a lot lately, and can only imagine flying in the pacific. I still need to get into rise of flight though, as I’ve yet to try it
@@ethjunky8431 lol okay. :D It'll take a long while until we get to see even the first static images. So just forget about it quickly. I never said anything. ;)
My beef with the current run of IL2 is that it feels slow, which is how the CFS series always felt to me and how I got into IL2 / Pacific Fighters / 1946. I'm really hoping that this is reproduced in a similar fashion as the early series. 1942 timeframe would allow for Guadalcanal, Aleutians, and Midway. Maybe even early Philippines, but if it to be Wildcats vs Zeroes then prolly not so much that one. I did love my P-40 though :-)
YEEEEEEEEEEEEESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLLLLLLLLLLY !!!!!!! OOOOOH BOY, dude i first learnt to land a plane in f6f-5 hellcat on an american flat top at around age 11 yrs old in bad weather i played pacific fighters for decades after on and off....i can't wait to see this in a modern engine, my father found a setting in config files for the A.I after changing it......i've still to this day not seen A.I as good as pacific fighters, i bullshit you not, i watched my father in the f6f-5 hellcat chasing a Zero at just above tree top level.....do you know what this mad lad Zero pilot did.....he tried to pull a the world war 2 equivalent of cobra maneuver, he pulled up so hard on stick and kicked the rudder in he went to sorta flat spin around the yaw axis for like two revolutions to dodge the incoming fire from my father hellcat and the A.I Zero pilot very.....so very nearly pulled it out of the quick spin he did but at last second couldn't and crashed into the tree.......my jaw frigging dropped, the A.I was capable of that and being varied enough in their skill level they could make mistakes.....don't think Il-2 great battles has that good of A.I, they better improve it.
Realizing this was posted almost a year ago...the Newest Free Multiplayer Air Combat Simulators apps (yes mobile) are Fighter Wing 3.1 and Gunship 4 open beta. Cheers!!
With the crazy amount of people having access to MSFS on XBOX, if they port this to XBOX they will be the only combat FS on console, and that will attract a lot of guys from MSFS.
Totally. It's in unreal engine so the basics already are in place. Maybe it's an option for them if the PC release goes well. I wouldn't count on it though since it's a small team and a release on consoles comes with a lot of extra chores & cost besides porting the game itself.
Please make this game single/coop game mostly with an good story driven campaign or a good ai campaign where you feel that you do a minor impact on the campaign.
Pacific Theater does not do well because there was only parity for a short time, Zero's v F4F's is a miss match and If they bring in the F6F it's a Turkey Shoot. Much better scenery in the Pacific than Europe and Russia, nice tropical islands and Bluewater.

Same! Pacific with state of the art tech has a lot of potential. And I love the NAVY planes...
So this ks where IL2 PTOW is going lol. I am happy for the news. Best of luck to Jason and the team!

I'm missing this kind of fluff in modern flight sims. While we're at it: Strike Commander's squad management also was awesome.

I struggled with dyslexia growing up and used the manual of combat flight sim Pacific to learn to read. It actually worked!!
@@WatchMyshdo you need a flight stick for that? I just have a mouse and keyboard for the time being

Same. Didn't play ROF back then. Maybe I have to do some retro gaming... Hm...
Omgosh. I wish I hadn't seen this. Now I'm going to be pining for this sim for years.
What if I tell you that the new game from the IL2 guys will very likely visit the pacific, too? 🙈
Don't toy with me. I don't want to know unless it's coming out in a year or less.

1:05 Wow, this really looks like a very good, well researched PTO flight simu- IS THAY AN AMAGI CLASS BATTLECRUISER ON THE TOP RIGHT?!

Better AI would suit IL2 and DCS well ...

It would be nice if NOR got on this project, I am all in, I hope this will happen. Thanx. and good luck.
Awesome news.
so excited
Same :)

YAY!!
They're working hard and we may get some alpha footage soon-ish :)

I hope so, too. SP is so neglected in modern sims. Mostly basic AI and the dynamic campaigns aren't really dynamic.
I hope they release it for pc and all the platforms.
I guess it'll be PC only
I want to pilot a Dauntless or Val dive bomber not fly a Zero or Wildcat. I hope the strike aircraft will be flyable, and not just the fighters.
They will be as far as I know
👍👍👍

Much better scenery in the Pacific than Europe and Russia, nice tropical islands and Bluewater.
I'm quite curious how they will balance everything and if there'll be a dynamic campaign.
Should have called it First Team
This sim is going to be a mayor hit , oh yeah just wait..
Hope so! :)
Can’t wait for this. Now that the IL2 devs are actively supporting Putin on social media I want nothing to do with those clowns.
They do what?
wait really ?????
