The difference in asking for assistance and whining is that someone who wants to work towards a solution will actually state what the problem is. A whiner just moans on like a broken record. It's boring, repetitive and annoying.
The people that you are bashing in your posts are long standing members of the forum that have added to the community over the years by disseminating information and actively helping people with issues, and being involved in many, many (some time intense) debates.
They are not in the habit of demanding to have questions answered by the developers, demanding to have content added or post poorly written 'Open Letters' to elicite a response and waste the time of the very busy developers.
What do you intend to add to the community?

My specs exeed the recommendations for this sim and I´m very familiar with tweaking (long time Bohemia Interactive user...
). I consider myself quite demanding when it comes to sim performance. IL 2 1946, RoF, A10, BS, FC2 all run smooth (high FPS in battle, most importantly: no stutters) on my rig and look beautiful. Now, I didn´t expected CLOD to be on the same league right away (I fully understand that most of those games have gone through extensive patching), but nor did I expect this! Even if it would run fluently, it's still suprisingly ugly (ground, buildings, let alone sounds...). There is just so much to be added, not just something that needs to be patched.
This bugs me, but nowdays I sure can live with it. I made a bad buying decision and have to suffer from it. What is really pissing me off, is when in this forum and, say, UBI forums, people who are considering buying the game are asking for the tips to upgrade their computer and they get these "Buy GPU with at least 3Gb memory" -answers. Then they read more and see these guys with 3x SLI GTX 590 and HAL 9000 praising the game and it's performance. They decide to go and buy their own über-rig, just to find that the game I flawed, broken and ugly.
Now, who is waisting whose time? I think devs are both waisting our time and our money, and so is the army of fanboys protecting them. This whole thing around CLOD is so ridiculous and should stand as a warning for game developers not to go this route. It should also stand as a warning for sim community, and make us demand even some quality and respect.
"Devs are working on it", good, when they are done they get our money. That's the way rest of world goes. Guys at 1C really deserve all the bad press, anger and whining, never mind how repetitive or boring that is.
