It´s a compromise I guess. If you want large formations, but crappy FM, DM, AI and graphics, buy some other BoB sim. If not, wat two years. Or ten.

The game has not even been released to alot of the world yet, give the devs time to patch the damn game.

Another 6 years?

There are very few games that come out that don't need patches and fixes. Be happy that this game has dedicated devs that won't abandon it like what happened to Silent Hunter 5.

You saying IL2 sucks?? Why not just sub all IL2 FM DM an AI and see if this can be made playable with the pretty graphics..

In time we should start seeing much larger formations. Personally it won't bother me that much as I can't fly or shoot down 600 bombers, and once your in the furball you will not notice that their are 500 aircraft missing. After the furball you will find yourself alone like most fighter pilots found in their experience.

I would say 6 years is already quite some dedication on their part. ;)

Yes 6 years is dedicated. But remember this is there job not hobby. I doubt many were working for free. I just want it playable in multiplayer I could care less about single player. I like the team work of humans versus humans instead of scripted AI missions. I just have a mid spec machine phenom X3 2.5ghz , 2gb ram probably upgrade to 4 soon, and a GTS 250 which plays most everything on high settings at lower resoulutions (1024x768 still have 19 crt)

I loled at the game taking longer time to develop than the actual war itself.

WW2 had a significantly bigger budget and staff.

Yes, Biggs and I have flown against multiple bombers.

Video request:

1 squadron bombers + 1 squadron escort + 1 squadron attacking = 36 aircraft

Now here's a real test..........this at least should be possible,right?
If i'm restricted to dogfights over sea for the next couple of years,well frankly i don't think it's worth the money...

I did this yesterday, I flew the mission Fight over Dover (or soemthing like that) and put all planes to the max. so 2x 12 bombers, 2x 6 109s + hurris and spits.
Had around 30 fps, and this mission was crazy. I flew it as spit first and after i tried it as he 111
