played the game yet?

i don't expect to play rof at all it's highest settings and get great frames, my computer simply isn't up to that. similarly i don't expect to be able to with CoD. but of course, with il2 everything is maxed and it's smooth and fast. you fiddle with the game settings to make it run smoothly. we're not playing on xboxes after all.

settings make a difference to performance, simple as that.

If on the other hand the engine is very limited from the beginning in order to ensure high famerate, like say, Wings of Prey, It is not likely that the game will improve significantly with further development.

So, looking long term, framerate is not important since it is a very solvable issue.

this is absolute gold dust - someone thinking ahead by more than 2 weeks.
