I bought an aditional 240gb SSD and installed Il2-1946 with HSFX 6.0 before installing Il2CoD. I had not bothered with Il2 after I got CoD last year. After messing a bit around I have it running at 3370x1680 @60fps and it's a blast! I forgot how cool it is to have radio commands actually working. Pretty good chance CoD is not comming back on the hard drive untill it's fixed properly. The better graphics quality spoils the 1946 fun so I'm just going to pretend it does'nt exist untill BoM is ready for release. I figure by then they will have fixed the problems with CoD.

Sigh.....

It's not BoM.

It's a sequel.

Isn't there anyone else on this forum who can look at the screenshots I posted in the update thread and verify that at least one of the maps is Stalingrad?

Or are we to perpetually be driven by convenient acronyms?

I reckon your Stalingrad prediction looks about right, judging from the screenshot comparison. I hope this isn't another case of Maddox Games getting into a fresh mission-creep scenario where they start adding more features, eras and planesets than they can actually handle. Bet you any money they resurrect the Storm of War label soon. ;)

Well thanks Feathered. ;)

I have to say that the RoF fraternity seem a much better disposed bunch than those we see on here.

Having a break from Cliffs and flying RoF has given me a slightly different perspective on lots of things....:)

It wasn't a much better disposed bunch when ROF was released. ROF was also released unfinished, but not as unfinished as COD. Hopefully the investors will keep the faith and allow COD to be finished and have therefore a much beter disposed bunch. ;)

Well.....that's us.... mostly..... Isn't it? Or is it? Could it be the parent company? Big Brother and the Holding Company? Or are they the governmental institutions funding historical awareness throughout the Russian Federation?

The banks?

Or could it be just the paying customer plus all of the above?

Economics and business were never my strongpoint.....:(

I really hope the expansion is a long way off... the last thing this game (clod) needs is less people playing it. The online community is horribly small as it is. A sequel soon will likely completely kill it.

I very much doubt i'll be playing any sequel until i've had some solid online play time with Clod, If there is no community to play with in Clod i certainly wont just gobble up their sequel.

I already have too many simulated aircraft on my PC to remember correctly.. with RoF, DCS & CloD.. and i know which one is the problem child. Last thing i need is another problem child..:)

Totally true.
Let's call it "Battle over Stalingrad" instead, or BS for short.

Fully agree. IMO this discussion is pointless.

Breaking news over there now. Looks good too! ;)
