In these difficult times the stress can definitely takes its toll. The sense of defeat and frustration does seem to come through in the statement. The SoW team seemed poised to tackle these issues as recently as just a few days ago but it seems that the issues have boiled over.Īlthough the statement does indicate that there are no health issues, I still hope that Phil, Dietrich and other members of their team are doing well. The DCS: Mosquito had not yet been added as there were bugs with the way multicrew interacted with the stats system. Indeed, the Storm of War team had posted their list of bugs with the DCS: FW190A-8 that they felt were negatively impacting gameplay. DCS WWII has been a challenging area for DCS World and while other areas of the sim seem to have been growing well, WWII has been a bit more hit and miss depending on what features and aircraft that you care about. There will be many different interpretations of the statement as well as comments directed at a variety of parties involved. The Discord channel linked above has been effectively been shut down minus the announcement and a couple of squadron channels. We would rather not enter into discussions about why we made this decision.Įxcept for the skeleton required to provide a couple of squad channels, the SoW Discord will be effectively shut down also. The admin team will be making themselves largely non-contactable. If you have a regular payment set up, please cancel it. It has been a success.ĭonations from January 2022 will all be refunded. Thanks to everyone who has supported the project. This deadline has passed.ĭespite January 2022 being the busiest month ever for the server, our opinion as a team is that DCS WW2 is not a product that is compelling enough for us to continue and we don’t have enough confidence in its development. In mid-2021 we set an internal deadline to review DCS WW2 at the end of 2021 to determine whether or not there is enough draw from the core product to keep us hopeful and interested. Posted this morning to the Storm of War Discord, PhilStyle, well known for his YouTube channel and a person that I did an podcast with last year, made the following announcement:Īs of now, Storm of War DCS server is shut down.įor information, just in case people are concerned, there are no health issues or problems within the admin team. In announcement today, it was announced that the server would be shutting down. Any time you mention DCS WWII multiplayer the next words you’re likely to utter are “Storm of War.” This server, run by the No.54th Squadron with PhilStyle being the most public of figures in the group with his YouTube channel, has been at the centre of DCS WWII activities.
