your also right now only seeing the first of many trailers, and quality will rapidly improve in them the closer to release date we get. the good news about this announcement and trailer release is that oleg and ubi is now committed to a specific release date and the project is in its final stage with a fixed deadline (but the final build has not gone "gold"). they still have a month or 2 to squeeze more performance out of their final build, and low altitude scenery quality will be the final proof of the pudding. pressing the cd's for final shipping and packing them into the finished boxes takes a week at max

we have been waiting for months for a final product to be released, and all you can do is complain when we get it ?

i will buy this game anyway but i fear that its the same stale gameplay experience like il2. and guys...simulations and gameplay do not contradict themself.

It's hard to see how you will enjoy the game with that attitude. You say that you play IL-2 and yet you don't seem to have found any of the thousands of player-created missions and campaigns that are available, or joined any on-line scenarios and teamed up with other pilots.
Anyone can tell you that advertising sucks anyway. Using a five-bladed razor and wearing Lynx deodorant doesn't mean your going to get front seat in a wet T-shirt contest or get laid - but if you can wear a smile too you might just stand a chance. ;)

Heres a trailer if you havent seen or herd of this game :)

Agree with Zap here, altho i'd say one month then it must be pretty much set for production. But as he says people shouldn't whine to much about the trailer, this is the first trailer, maybe folks should chill and realize that there's still two months left until release and we will get system requirements and more as the progress goes along. Historical battles are of great value as well, many prefer them and not everyone mods or creates missions, the game needs to show what it is @ stock.

This I actually agree with, I hope Oleg and team have improved the game aspect of this sim. Gameplay and realism -as above mentioned- CAN go hand in hand. I really love IL-2 always have but only for certain periods of time since it all gets pretty old after a while. Everything from the campaign generator to the interface in IL-2 feels very archaic. There's is no replay value either since it's so predictable especially if you create your own missions -which I do a lot-. Anywho, I'm sure these aspects have been greatly improved in CoD.:)

The Hawk 75 is already an AI in IL2/46.

And that P 40 model is even worse than the Hawk 87 we currently have.

The RATS over at CRS are currently replacing all the older air models with new ones. They have about 5 of them completed, they are in the middle of an Infantry 3rd person redo and thats taking up most of the Artist time. The Game is not based on the BOB its the BOF and in the game France does not roll over and DIE like in Real life. Thus they get the planes they ordered and I get to fly them.

Will it be available to buy from? steam
