I have no issue with the developers over the current performance. I appreciate that optimization is underway and it does not effect my opinion of the title, despite having a lower end machine.
What I do find clouds my opinion if the "sim" is the lack of content to enable anything more than a shallow BoB-lite skirmish generator.
No warships, one merchant and a handful of lifeboats means the Channel Offensive phase is beyond reach. Pacific Fighters looks flush with ships by comparison.
One RAF voice actor for the entire group of nations involved. Sounds like he's drawing words out of a hat too.
No radar. Some arcade approximation will give you a stilted position of a nearby enemy, but for a meaningful intercept vector, height or number of contacts... Forget it.
Crew members are just decoration.
Viable Bomber numbers are barely up to a diversionary raid, let alone anything approaching the Battle of Britain in any real sense.
Never mind current performance. It's the crushing lack of HISTORICAL content, not Technical content that has already made me loose interest.
