still looks pretty boring to me
- the virtual world is empty and bland. using a winter scenery with hardly any detail allows them to save on GPU/CPU load, but it again produces this same empty bland and boring RoF style world i disliked
- looking at the aircraft interior and exterior give a cartoon'esque impression compared to the detail and precision of what we already have in CoD.

adding in a few nice lighting effects and big KA-BOOM sounds might interest the arcade crowd to a new and easy to play aircraft game, but it is a regression and dumbing down for what we already had achieved in CoD, and compared to what we will get in DCS-ww2 series.

and remember, this is not even a complete game you are buying for your 80$, within a few months you'll be expected to keep purchasing more and more elements to stay competitive in their pay2win marketing approach, and get new elements like maps, compasses scarfs and other trinkets. like their previous RoF series you'll end up spending 500$ or so for the end product, no thanks

the battle of stalingrad part of ww2 was a major ground based slug fest, with armored engagements, siege of enemy positions,, and house to house fighting in built up area's. a major part of the air activity was maintaining air supremacy over the city, ground attack of enemy positions, keeping air supply lines open, attacking enemy troop movements or specific buildings and positions etc. there is NO indication that any of that will be in this RoF ww2 product, or that it can even display or recreate it (in RoF trenches and frontline positions were just smudged grey painted area's on the ground without any detail or objects). it doesnt look like they are doing any better in this attempt either.
