Is CloD any where near IL2 1946 yet?

[Raven Morpheus]

Hello

Last time I played CloD was not long after it was released and I had completed the single player "campaign".

Now at that time the FPS on my rig (ATI 5870 1GB, AMD Phenom II x4 955 @3.2GHZ, 8GB RAM, Win 7 64bit) wasn't all that great and there was no dynamic campaign like in IL2 1946, I also found the single player "campaign" to be rather lack lustre and the ending rather poor.

So, I'm wondering if CloD has advanced now to the point where it's not just focused on the multiplayer/single mission aspect and actually has a proper dynamic campaign like IL2 1946 and I'm also wondering if the framerate has improved?

Having completed the single player "campaign" and having no interest in multiplayer or the single missions I basically want to know if it's worth me re-installing the game and getting it patched up/modded - I dearly want an IL2 1946 with the updated graphics of CloD?

Thanks.

No interest in multi player!!??!!
that's your problem right there...
I hope the devs don't waist precious time and money on single player.

This is 2012 ! why would anybody fly against a mindless AI enemy when the world is connected with high speed internet.
I played IL2 46 for 8years versus the AI and thought I knew how to fly.
Then I tried multiplayer and found out I was wrong!
Real human opponents talking to each on Team Speak and working as a team are so much better than any AI .No matter how well it is programmed.

Don't installed it if you are only gonna play with your self. you are missing the point !

Well I wouldnt say that playing with yourself is missing the point...But you really should try CLOD online!!
Sorry, just couldnt resist

If as you say you 'have no interst in online' then I would suggest you re-think...I have enjoyed years of playing IL2 1946 playing online...and am now enjoying COD online...All my flying buddies are flying online against other folks and there really is no comparison between online and AI enemy....I'd at least give it a shot.....Try ATAGS.....or REPKA...Its Good fun!

I think you missed the reason I have not played CLoD online.

It is 2012, and the line I highlighted was also the same thing people said 1998 with the release of Rainbow 6. With 56k modems and $600 a month DSL lines.

Online is fine. Like I said earlier, I love playing DCS online, on squad nights, with my group, using TARS.

At the same time, some people like myself, have a full time job, wife, kids, and other things going on in life, and love the thing called a "Pause" button. See, DCS is great online, and also a blast offline.

Talking about AI, IL2 4.11 AI is great. As well as BOBII's AI. DCS's AI is also getting there. Not all AI is bad.

Saying that devs should not waste time on offline, is a dumb statement, sorry. There are plenty of reasons why it should be worked on. Look at how DCG, and other player made campaigns made IL2's online world better. Not only that, but "online interwebz gaming" isnt new and exciting to older folks like myself, who have played online for years and years.

I would like to not have to choose - good online or good offline. Sorry, I want both.


***Thanks for the suggestions to try online. I will give it a whirl when I have some time.***

IL-2 1946 evolved over many years of development and mod improvements with the best campaigns coming from community modders. Unfortunately COD's new game engine is still a WIP, with the latest beta patches making improvements to the engine's stability and performance. If the these patches are successful, the developer can start concentrating on gameplay issues. This should get more people involved in flying and building decent dynamic campaigns.

We have a dynamic mission/campaign generator by the community (forgot the name and who did it, pls. search for it) and very excellent static campaigns by Desastersoft.

But in my opinion single player is pretty flawed because of stupid AI and not working radio commands.
