As far as realism goes, they tried too hard to make it realistic to the point where in a lot of ways it's less realistic than IL-2 or even Wings of Prey. When writing CLOD they focused so much on visuals and button switching that they forgot to make any compromises based on the fact that everyone playing this game is doing so while sitting at a desk viewing the world through a computer monitor.
Spend your money on something else.

EvilJoven, sorry to read about your bad experiences online -- I can't blame you for being bitter, who wouldn't be? Doubtless you've read my earlier post in this thread to Danjama. Please take this as a hearty invitation to join us anytime on the ATAG Server. Teamspeak 3 is a major plus, and I guarantee you a much better experience this time out. Newcomers are warmly welcomed -- just watch out the bomber guys don't entice you away from flying the fighters! LOL
As you pointed out above, there's always the potential for an Airquake scenario, but by and large our two servers now have options for everyone, including bomber escort, fighter sweeps ahead of the bombers, bomber aircrew, etc etc. As AoA mentioned, there is a patch onthe radar screen that will hopefully address many of the concerns we all share about CoD
Things are evolving over at the ATAG Servers and we have a good online community, including 19 of us ATAG guys flying online pretty much 'round the clock (at different times, obviously LOL) monitoring the Chat windows for any probs or player abuse/swearing (very rare). With the coding optimized and finalized, many projects currently on ice will be introduced by the ATAG project crew to keep things fresh and revitalized.
This reminds me of the old car commercial, "Have you driven a Ford......lately?" Take ATAG out for a spin. We want to know what YOU think!
