hmmm - same ol' same ol'

Hello Ilya - looks like you have your hands full again...

I have held off purchasing CoD after reading the early reviews and now it looks like a carbon copy of the original Il2's teething pains.

Like that one this sim was rushed, Il2 was too strong for current hardware, patches were needed to dumb it down, some effects had to be removed or reduced, no one was really happy - or rather - each patch angered some and pleased others, until finally the hardware began to catch up and you could begin to unlock and update and make Il2 the way it was supposed to be. This stuff isn't new to anyone who was around when the original was released.

And just like back when, your priorities are never the same as the 'fanbois' priorities. You talk about 3d and they want to know where their Caproni is at already....yikes

This looks identical to that situation, so you have my sincerest sympathy.

I will keep looking in on these boards though - I do plan on buying CoD someday...the screenshots look terrific
