I've had similar install problems as everyone else , ( & some continuing ones even now,BUT boy once you get it going this really delivers! There is something new in CloDworld to be seen on nearly every mission.This series of screenies show a mission in the defauly campaign for the Luftwaffe ( not one of the brilliant translated 3rd party missions...just the one built into the game...) Itoccurs midway thru the campaign whereyouare given a Bf-110 to fly...which I did ,but after seeing the results of the Stuka attack on the ships I wanted to be closer to that mayhem & switch to be a Stuks pilot ( which is sooooooooooo easy to do in CloD...what fun! Also I went to a view of the ships to see the attackfrom their angle Honestly this would be better as a vid , but I have no idea how to do that so,here are a mass of screenshots:

I only wish the ships had a bow wave, but other than that this little fight is something to see.I was esp. drawn to the bright flashes of internal explosions which could be seen from way up high where the 110s were-WOW!
As an old time Il-2 fan I have to admit that the modded version of it does almost everything as well or better ( effects -wise ) than the fledgling CloD and at a much better FPS rate, but boy I can also see the future is here...It may take 2 years to get it straight & give us new planes & better effects , be mor user friendly & MORE FPS, but this mission & more like it are just fun ..AND after the attack I can switch over to be a 110 flieger to battle the incoming Hurricanes or vice versa...without skipping a beat.Unreal!
