I'm surprised no one has really gotten to this point.
1C has now opened up this forums to allow MODS discussions, and direct links to them. This is HUGE.
The TD has completed some marvelous improvements to IL2, added to that some of the mods available are absolutely unbelievable. By that I mean they are exceptionally well done.
The MODS including maps, sounds and effects turn the old IL2 into a completely new adventure for all of us.
Yes, we want something better and our expectations are high for that something better with BOB COD. I guess for the time being that will be out of the question.
I fire up the IL2 with TD updates and selected MODS. I quite honestly, enjoy it. If we didn't have the quality of improvements in IL2 I might really be put off, but that isn't the case. I'm thinking the IL2 is very viable with TD updates and Mods for the next couple years, because the BOB COD is wrapped around one small time frame in the WW2 only. I can fly every war theater and hundreds of aircraft in the improved IL2, including carrier based missions. It will be a long time before any of the features of BOB COD come close to the improved IL2. Remember this... the TD and 3rd party mod developers are still improving on the IL2.
For sure... if we didn't have expectations for the BOB COD, we would be enjoying the improved IL2. All our thoughts and energies would primarily be focused on TD releases and 3rd party mods.
