Alonzo a écrit : Combat Box Year in Review, for 2022

Massive thanks to everyone in the IL2 community who has flown on Combat Box, and especially to those of you who support us financially through Patreon. Without you, we couldn't do this. And a big thank-you from me to the rest of the admin team -- this is truly a team effort. Thank you all.

Given the IL2 developer's recent "by the numbers" video, we thought we'd let you in on some numbers for Combat Box over the past year.

124,514 flight hours logged across 467,163 sorties, by 16,265 unique players
538,273 ground kills, and 156,468 air kills
57,835 Spitfire Mk.IX sorties (our most popular plane)
43,342 BF 109 G-14 sorties (our second most popular plane)
486 ME-262 jet fighter sorties (yes, sometimes people get to fly jets on Combat Box!)

35TB of data transferred from our website (credit mostly to Haluter's Skin Downloader)
2.7GB of mp3 audio broadcast by our "CB Radio" SRS voice bot
1,273 commits to our source code repository
ONE new, much-anticipated map -- Normandy -- added to our repertoire

TWENTY SIX handcrafted missions and scenarios, from our talented mission making team.

Special mini-campaigns by Cass:

FIVE 'Apollo' dynamic campaign alpha tests
The campaign includes 39 airfields, 55 strategic objectives, and dozens of "pop up" dynamic targets.
During the 'alpha4' campaign, pilots flew 27,124 sorties, dropped 57,257 bombs and fired 8,794 rockets. In total, Apollo tracked 69,744 'kill' events over the 150 day campaign.

Please join us in 2023 for more handcrafted missions, Friday Night Flight events, and the evolution of the Combat Box dynamic campaign system. We'll have more action in the new year with the debut of "career mode" -- take control of an RAF, USAAF or Luftwaffe pilot and track their exploits through the war. Sign up for missions, collaborate with squadmates, and try to become the most famous (or infamous!) second world war pilot!

Over the year there's been a lot of content produced by our pilots, here are a few videos for your viewing pleasure.
