What's currently stopping you ??

S!

Nothing stops me from playing CoD, but I don't play it at all these days. Have other games to play meanwhile waiting for CoD being patched or it's sequel released. Then take another look.

For me it's

(1) Strange AI, i'm half way through creating a scenario but have stopped because the AI doesn't act like I expect. "Death of 141 Sqn" has Defiants being attacked by a gaggle of 109s but the deffy's keep climbing when being attacked and the gunners ignore close attacking aircraft to concentate on those in the distance. You'd think this would lead to 141 dimise .. but no, the fast zooming 109s cannot handle the slowing, climbing Deffys and either - (1) crash into them, (2) crash into each other, or (3) just zoom past. Maybe the slow climb is good tactics for normal fighters against fast zooming 109s ?? but it's not working for defiants. Actually i just retested this, the deffys were on average skill rating. I just now rerated them all to aces and ... all deffy's when being attacked barrel-rolled themselves into the ocean .. not one survived ! yes they shot down 2 109s but 6 defiants are now sleeping with the fishes whereas, as average pilots most survived ????????????????????

What needs to be fixed.

(1) Defiants do NOT climb when being attacked from 6 oclock high, they let the fools come on.
(2) Defiant gunners do NOT concentrate on far off aircraft, ignoring the enemy right on it's tail.
(3) expert enemy pilots do NOT attack the defiant from 6 oclock high !! fast zoom down, pull up and quick fire from 6 oclock low, then pulling left or right.

How could this be easily achieved?

(1) Defiant AI should be similar to bomber - Whimpy? when being attacked.
(2) Users should be able to write their own AI code
...

I compliment you on your patience and dedication to the game.

It's sad that the AI isn't able to cope in that situation.

For me, I just want them to sort out the Aircraft weathering thats all especially the Spitfire, not asking much we can add our own.

no windows 8 support, I just upgraded my rig, keep popping back to see if any progress, don't mind waiting hopefully soon the devs will spend a few minutes to bypass metro.

The people too busy not upgrading or moaning about things to come play multiplayer...

3. Poor FM's
4. Slow downs, dust particles/smoke and zooming in
5.Stutters (micro)
6. Flickering trees
7. Netcode (as I mainly play offline)
8. No Anti-Aliasing
9. Ridiculously hard to use in-game .avi creator with no manual to explain just how to use it effectively!
10. Just in-case you forgot since I mentioned it- Building pop up, incredible that a game released in 2011 cannot get this sorted when others make it look easy.
11. Loadout can't be changed on some aircraft (and even if you say it can...I can't do it!)
12. Basically no Single player content that is enjoyable due to "2. Crap AI" and the ridiculous response of the enemy when attacked. Either carries on regardless and gets shot up or does amazing impossible rolls until it thinks you aren't following anymore....and repeats until either dead or escapes

================================================== ====

All of the above, plus the fact that-

1. UP3-RC4 has tons of great maps.
2. Mission building doesn't need a degree in quantum physics.
3. It has a very easy to use interface.
4. You can record on the fly.
5. It has fantastic effects and sound mods available for easy installation.
6. No problems with online play.
7. Thousands of objects, planes, tanks, armour, ships etc all easy to use in mission building and much much more.

I keep coming back to C.O.D. hoping, but disappointed I go straight back to iL2 UP3-RC4.

Praise be to Oleg.
cheers,
Ibis.

There are too many problems, all of which we know, to list.

I miss "flying" but it's simply too frustrating, and I'm not going to muck about with all the manual beta installs.

Call me when the next official patch is released.

You worry to much

I agree there are many problems with the sim, and don't fly it much myself anymore, because of them. The sim was released "Unfinished" and I'll see how it looks and feels after the "RC Patch" to reevaluate. It should be better, and hopefully it will rekindle my interest in flying again. COD probably won't see all the fixes I'd like to see until the Sequel is released and the FMB tools work better for the community to build more interesting online and offline missions/campaigns. I can't see the Sequel being released for a year or two, so we may see further patches to COD to test features for the Sequel. Hopefull the future of the series will be better when the average computer is more powerfull, and the sim series is further optimized.

This post by BlackSix today was very good news that suggests that some of the old business model will be continued.

"We plan to extend game after release and add new theaters."

[lokitexas]

Problem is, people didnt buy CLoD with the impression that, in order to have it up to par, they need to buy something else down the road.

Thats total BS.

Thank goodness there are other sims out there with a good rep, and deliver what they are suppose to. I aint spending a dime on another game from this group of devs.
