I think that competition is on the horizon and closing in, fast!

Untill there are enemy aircraft, a mix of relevant AI aircraft and a relevant map then DCS hasn't even moved up to the starting blocks yet, at least COD started the race, they just fell over at the first bend.

All the DCS third party stuff so far is jets.

As far as I know there is no DM in that sim is there???

Without good DM is nowhere close to being competition...

I agree it is nice, but...seriously?! One aircraft and it`s competition?

@TOPIC :
I will buy the Battle of Moscow. I will support the greatest WWII sim in the making.

No competition at all, not even close.. And at the rate DCS turns out new planes it never will be.. Thier only hope is all the IL-2 modders switch over to DCS and start making free addons.. Than maybe in 3 or 4 years we will have enough planes to simulate a WWII battle

Same here!

On that note I bought the DCS P51.. And it is alot of fun! But it will years before we can simulate a WWII battle.

Looking at what is out there, competition wise, there is nothing comming close to CoD wrt WWII.. That and what with all the ground controlable stuff I think the sequal is going to be a big seller!

I am working close with Glowing Amraam who is the movie maker for that sim and I can tell you that there are some surprises coming very soon to the P-51 scene that will make it more than just a P-51 alone in a fighter jet world ;)

There is a fantastic damage model on the p-51 and the rest of the aircraft in that sim are done very well.

Did you just describe the current state of CloD? because MG haven't exactly showered us with a lot of additional planes -not variants- the last year. As I've said previously, I'm willing to pay for additional DLC planes, the DCS MiG-21bis for example, I'm willing, and I will, buy that. I'm not complaining here, just saying serve me what I want and I'll pay for it, market economy ABC.:)

Excellent news....looking forward to it.

Yes the DM is actually pretty good in DCS.

No competition for CoD.

DCS P-51 is a fine time waster and nothing more.

I do wish CoD has its complexity. But other than that DCS P-51 is like a wall poster for me.

DM today is very disappointing if you expect it anything close to CoD because it isn't. Not at all.

I'm with the OP. We have been defrauded and need to harden up with the developers. We have paid good money and will not buy the sequel on a matter of principle.

We will not buy the sequel 1c! Not touching it.
