Frankly, if you wait a year you will save money, frustration, and if this title survives hopefully a very good sim experience.

I purchased the Russian version very early on and have flown quite bit through all the patches.

At this point in time with Ultr@pack 3.0 RC1 and merging with IL-2 4.10.1 and the start of the Ghost Skies Slovenia Phase III battle, CoD goes back on the shelf. The amount of entertainment that IL-2 with UP3.0 and Ghost Skies offers is just to much to compete against CoD.

Hopefully, the devs are able to sustain a long and comprehensive patching program followed up by a lot of value added items such as aircraft, theaters and and an online programmable campaign engine; then we can dump old IL-2 and move on.

Even Rise of Flight is still being patched and developed and with the upcoming release of version xx.19 we will have a viable campaign engine with multi-dimensional objectives and this can utilized to develop controllers and a viable online campaign/war that the online squads can participate in like Ghost Skies for old IL-2.
