IL-2 Cliffs of Dover - SoW Presents "The Long War"





www.stormofwar.org



This is an il2 Cliffs of Dover server but unlike anything else out there.



Aimed at pilots who are looking for a bit more than just the dogfight ... but also want the dogfight, SoW's "The Long War" represents an environment where each pilot can have a real impact on the other side's capability.



For a long time, bomber pilots have been left to drive their own motivation to fly. Many have and many have now found SoW to be the environment where their skills are truly valuable.



Now, the bomber pilots work, attacking and destroying that factory is not limited to an arbitrary points score towards a rather deflated banner test "You side has won the battle" but instead, in a persistent environment, it means that the other sides ability to product airframes/aircraft is impacted.



And where the bombers go, the escorts are. And this is where the dogfighting will take place.



If you despawn your aircraft, your side loses an aircraft and this impacts how you side is doing. So you need to bring it back to friendly territory and ideally back to base. But there is another impact ... you virtual career may be cut short. If you escape despawn, your career/streak/life is over in the game. If you bail out, you are not guaranteed 100% survival even over friendly territory.



All this means, you need to pick you fights with care and make sure you watch your back. you are flying as part of a team and an arcade-ish dogfight attitude is not going to work well.



For sure, SoW will not be for everyone. However, for WW2 war birds enthusiasts who have flown il2 CLoD in the past and always wanted a flying server that focuses more on the flying, the tactics and the environment and less on some arbitrary Win/Lose criteria, dust off your games and come check out www.stormofwar.org.



Mature, friendly and helpful community. Bring yourself or bring your friends. Active squadrons can claim an airfield to call their own. Build your own field facilities literally!
