"The reward no longer counts toward group points and is not distributed among players in the group." No no noooooooo....... How can we share points now? Every success is a result of a group effort. Points shall be still shared in group. How can we have it back?

As I mentioned on another topic; balance shouldn't be a main priority in such case. In every PvP online campaign balance spoils the immersion and makes whole project dead. I switch sides on frontline repeatedly. Once German and on the other occasion Russian. The more I play the more I think, that result depends on how you play, not what you fly. I hunted Pe-2's as Bf-109 Pilot and I hunted He-111 as MiG-3 Pilot. I flew Bombing missions on He-111 and on IL-2 on the other side (Pe-2 isn't bad or useless, it's just I love to fly that legendary plane) on all sorts of missions. For me it's like playing a game of chess after "big exchange". You have one sort of figures and other side has others. In the end it all depends on how you use your advantages. I mean... Neither He-111 nor Pe-2 fight alone. They both are a part of the system. He-111 alone is easy prey. Pe-2 - same situation. If you play the game like that you make a mistake. Aerial warfare and aerial warfare simulation games are TEAM GAMES. If you try to play football alone without support of your team, you'll lose. In "Frontline" campaign it's the same. A team composed out of Pe-2 and La-5 is just as dangerous and effective as team of He-111 and Bf-109. They are not the same, and they shouldn't be. They both have their weak and strong points. A different ones. And that makes it all ... fun. Balance it all, and you'll ruin immersion, you spoil the fun, and ... kill the game. Don't try to adjust the rules to your point of view. Adjust your tactic.

Trying to maintain balance planeset ruins every PvP Campaign IMO. Best thing about Frontline is, that planeset seem to recreate real plane amount on Eastern front... Maybe with few exceptions , like Me262, which never appeared there. Russian planes fighters are bit worse (not very much though) but they're cheaper to buy. Bf-109G2 is more expensive than G6 because the latter one was produced in much bigger number. I love it. On the other hand attack planes of VVS and bombers seem to offer much bigger survival chances. Pe-2 and IL-2 which I personally prefer are better than Ju-87 and Ju-88 duo. And it's alright. If I get tired of one side I play another on next campaign. And I think it's mentally healthy. Sticking to one side only causes... Let's call it... "social difficulties". PS. Playing blue side is different. Many players Including myself try to make some decent streak. Nothing wrong about it, but it's unfair if later on after battle like last Odessa '44 where blue side was represented by one STG flying mostly Bf-109 / FW-190 and JG flying mostly FW-190D9 no ground progress was made. Hard to expect such thing if you're just dogfighting. Nothing wrong about it, but ... just be honest.

Thanks for your work! Great Job.

Thank you very much. Seems to me, that I'm getting addicted to Front Line. My best Regards.

There are still some questions. Can someone clarify how's that possible? 1. In Sorities tab: https://il2-fl.ru/en/stats/sortie/184622/0?gamerId=3156&tab=flight-log profit: 2365 , score: 1185. but in group profits tab: 05/11/2026, 04:02 PM score: 592:9 (and that is completely clear and fine), profit : 0,00 On my group profits tab there are many mission where score has some positive value, but profit equals "0,00" https://il2-fl.ru/en/stats/profile/22/0?gamerId=3156&tab=group-profits

Thank you very much. Great help! Best Regards.

Thanks for reply! Than the first mission is clear. ...But how about the other mission ? I suppose I did something wrong, but those town wasn't under attack. It also was not supplied, so I assumed my flight had sense. Right? I'm a totally confused there. Did I dropped containers in wrong place maybe?

In my case "Alexandren-Tyrg" was in 41% suplied, so that is not the case. Kalarach tyrg was also in need of supply.

Same here . Cargo flights are not giving any money and no score points. It count also for player =Crow=Eldorado Neither Garrison nor airfield works. https://il2-fl.ru/en/stats/sortie/182611/0?gamerId=3156&tab=journal I landed at Kalarach-Tyrg. I got message "cargo unloading starts, etc.", then "Cargo succesfully unloaded, you may take off". I took off , landed at IASI back where I previously took off, and then I got again a message "Unloading starts"... I got minus money and no score for mission. https://il2-fl.ru/en/stats/sortie/183384/0?gamerId=3156&tab=journal I took off from Galati: Provisions, MAB-250 containers, made cargo drop. I dropped them over Alexandren-Tyrg. -1,59 money, no score. Airfield supply also brought no money and no score. There were also other missions, none of them brought any money or score.

Same here . Cargo flights are not giving any money and no score points. It count also for player =Crow=Eldorado

That is why it's good to play once red once blue. Than you may see complete picture. I played last encounter Blue (last 20 years of IL-2 FB I played RED), now again Red side. I think you see only what you want to see. 1. True He-111 takes nice payload of bombs. That's a plus. 2. He-111 is terribly slow 230 IAS on climb, 290kmh IAS in cruise. With 4 x SC250 one can reach 5 000 - 5 500m altitude. 3. Survivability are very low. Usually 1 hit by 85mm AAA and bomber is lost. It doesn't' have to be a direct hit. Also 7,9mm MG 15 is useless against any fighter. 20mm you can place only in "wanne" or "Kanzelarie" - theys shoot only front. Pe-2 offers much better defence. Speed and good 12,7mm defence on most vulnerable sector. 4. Blue side lost all their maps in last campaigns. In spite of slightly bigger amount of players, slightly more flight hours etc. Are you seriously suggesting that red side is in unfair disadvantage? 5. H-6 is free, and takes 4x SC250, but any further update is insanely expensive up to a nonsense point. H-16 is just as slow as H-6, but better defensive armed. However in 1942 it's no use. It's too slow. Everyone likes Ju-88 more, because it's faster, and climbs higher. I took H-16 once to mission and then never again. Why? In case of plane lost there's massive money lost and score lost. In case of enemy fighters (like La-5 or Lagg-3) extra armament won't save you. My advice is - try He-111 first. It sounds like you didn't flew it much.

Thank you for reply, and explanation.

Can you correct an error, or it's impossible?

https://il2-fl.ru/en/stats/sortie/160130/0?gamerId=3156&tab=flight-log I killed one IL-2, damaged one Hurricane, and gor for it -196,96 score and +862,40 money. Why minus points? I landed on the Airfield, commit nothing bad....

Hello Gent's I fly your virtual campaign for a first time, and I appreciate the "Front Line" very much. I'm going to fly it both sides to experience it fully. Right now I play German side, so I don't have a clear view on some aspects. I expect that playing Red Army will bring some other experiences. Having that in mind I'd like to point out couple problems: 1. Last action heroes. There is a Time limit on server. Reasons are obvious, however there is a problem. Some players exploit the rules. Usually it looks like that: -there is a garrison to defend, or the one that attacks. One side has airfield nearby ~10km Let's call them team A. Other side has an AF a bit further . Let's say 40km. Let's call them team B. The weather is clear, mission time 160 minutes and clock counts down. Team B conducts patrol over AO, provides cover for own bombers, fights off enemy ones. 120 minutes passed, and seems that team B lose that encounter, being all the time inactive/ ineffective in that sector. 20 minutes before mission end Team B flies home. Job well done. Surely they won. Right? no.... In last 15 minutes Team A - all 12 guys, took the bombers and hit the targets totally uncontested. No enemy there. What a coincidence you may think. But then it repeats. Mission after mission. 120 minutes of doing nothing, and then mad 20 minutes, right when you're going home. If it's ok for you , than I'll just adjust my expectations. In my opinion however, such behaviour is an exploit of the rules. Regards. I hope you'll find a solution. I have some other doubts, but I'll point them out after next campaign, after I'll experience the red army side.
