IMO people are too greedy these days.I'm sure a lot of people who bought CoD were new to the il2 scene, perhaps younger, and, because they owned an o/c i5 2500k etc simply expected to wind the settings up to max and play. It took me several years before I could even fly il2 at max settings.
il2 was always like that for me, the game was far above the tech available to run it at full whack, and I was constantly upgrading just to get a few more FPS.
Things have changed somewhat now, and there is some fantastic tech available, but after CoD, I think things will be simplified, people expect a game to run flawlessly these days (and why wouldn't they TBH) but it was never my experience.I'm probably just too old, and remember the good old days.
Games like WoT, WT etc have great graphics, but are 'sim lite' and will sell millions, and have thousands playing.That seems to be the future.
