Yes all sims have bugs, its just that CoD has WAY more than most and is not even finished (complete redo of graphics in the works).

Perhaps BoM is not an add-on, but it does not interest me as much as BoB and I certainly will not buy it if CoD is not fixed. As many others won't if CoD is not finished first. I hope they do get it finished.

Luthier has said they'll continue working on CoD so what's the problem? He has stated very clearly that they're working on CoD and BoM in parallel. I for one am very happy that they're working on the graphics....any increase in FPS is good in my book and I'm quite prepared to wait for that and many other goodies.

1c, like any other company, must pay wages and bills. They MUST develop new products to generate future earnings as they'll be out of business in no time. We really can't expect them to remain completely fixated on CoD as that would be business suicide which wouldn't be good for us or them would it?

I personally don't see any problem at all with paying full price for the BoM product if that means I immediately get access to a host of new and exciting objects, features and improvements for CoD at the same time. It could be like a new game. Most features that have been postponed for BoM were never officially promised for CoD - they were just hopeful noises made by Oleg and crew at various points in the development. As such, we really can't complain that they won't be handed out free as a CoD patch.

On the other hand, radio comms, AI and crashes do need to be addressed as patches and from what I've read from the devs, this is all in hand. All will come good in time. Be sure.
