We were promised by the developers more accurate flight models and damage models. We got them.

We were promised by the developers highly detailed terrain and objects. We got them.

We were told that a machine that could run IL2 1946 at maximum settings could run COD on mimimum settings, thankfully they were being overly cautious there an any people can run the sim on medium if not higher.

We were also promised dynamic weather, as far i I know we have it but most PC at this stage can't run it so you have to actually go and build a mission that's got it. How many have tried?

We have also been given a list of priorities and bugs that the developers are working towards solving. How often do you want the developers to come here and say "Sorry! Not ready yet" weekly, Daily or on the hour? Personally I'ld rather them being hard at work and tell us when they got something to show us.

Cheers!
I can run Il-2 on max. But I know that CloD will not run on my current system, because RoF won't. (Dual Core processor, 2.0GHZ, ATI 4650 512mb, 4GB RAM). And even if CloD would run on the lowest settings, it would look and play worse than Il-2 or BoB2.
And the promises? Whilst I don't agree with the sentiment the team need to make allowances to suit certain people's wishes, Tree is correct in stating that we were promised many features. Oleg said that the terrain would be 'photo-realistic'. He also alluded to a dynamic campaign (which the original 2006 release said we would get). Other features included the ability to man AAA guns, and the weather model shown in the development shots clearly wasn't implemented into the game.
On the face of it, certain promises were kept, but the game is so bugged, the features just can't be used, sadly.
