After a day of flying IL2/46...

[ElAurens]

...with my old squad mates, talking about CoD a lot on comms, going over the whole thing with a calm and reasoned process (and a good night's sleep), I've decided this...

1. No matter the current issues, the game will progress. Oleg and his team have always been the masters of optimizing code. Did the ball get dropped on this release? Yeah, but assigning blame on either of the publishers or Maddox Games will get us nowhere. The dev team will fix the current issues. Will it be fixed tomorrow or the next day? Not likely, but they will fix it.

2. After playing this franchise since December of 2001, and most of that time with the guys I'm with now, I cannot imagine not continuing into the next generation and let them have all the fun.

3. As easy as it is to bash UBI and 1C, we must remember that without them putting up the front money for a niche product like CoD, there simply would be no more WW2 flight simulations. Then where would we be? Flying those accursed jets, or the spawn of the devil rotary winged aircraft? I get cold chills at the thought.

You are not getting rid of me that easily.

See you over the channel sometime in mid April.

Peace.
