NO. Lets talk about the CLOD being released in alpha state. The sim wasnt playable on mid-to high end systems. Even today most of the folks have serious performance issues (one example is drastic drop of FPS when the dust is near or some other effect, or when more planes are in doghfight low over land). Then, the fact that ingame AA is not working properly. The fact that we got old il2 external engine sounds in release (only in last patch we got "quality" sounds). So here you go. Facts. I dont want to jabber about some features never brought to light. Luthier himself acknowledged (confessed) that the game has serious problem with optimisation of the actual graphic engine.
BTW what is your motivation which drives you in this "defending crusade"? Why you call ppl whiners? They are bigger fans than you....I have more hours than you in CLOD....you funny guy...the reason (most of us) are complaining (and reporting bugs, mind you) is to make this game better (visaully, performance wise, features etc). Theres no secret whiners club which wants Luthier fail. Quite the opposite. Grow up.
