Great news! I'll start saving up.. new rig and new exciting WWII sim for March! Now if we could just see the system specs recommendation as well.

Was there nobody around to make something decent on a high end system? Even IL2 Youtube clips from years ago look better than this.
Amazing.

Rofl, no they don't.. its only the first scene which looks abit odd.. if you find anything in IL2 even remotely close to the later parts in the video i'll bow to you as my god, and i am atheist.
And besides, since when did the Sim community become graphic whores? There's just so much depth here when it comes to realism, that we dont know even where to begin..

Do you include the unofficial pack?

Thanks 1C. It's amazing that we are now so close to the release. I can only imagine the stress level there while trying to meet the final deadline.

Maybe we'll meet in the skies over London. Would be nice. It would give you a chance to flame me...... or any other of the forum posters here.

Folks, this is just the beginning. I'm looking forward to where IL2:CoD takes us with developer and 3rd party updates.

Congrats to everyone involved. May your work be rewarded. I also hope CoD and this new engine take you where you and the company want to go.

Great news! I see that the first page announcement now mentions the German campaign.

This is a bit cheeky - but lets think of absent friends - Tree must be sick as a parrot today - wrong on 3 big issues:

1. DX11 - confirmed.
2. Ubisoft as publisher - confirmed.
3. Release date - March - confirmed......Spring 2012 my arse!

------

Feb 11th - decided to revisit this piece of ancient history in the interests of fair play, justice, and a nagging guilty conscience - or maybe it's just masochistic self-indulgence? Probably I'm just bored. No-one's probably going to read it anyway - bit like a tabloid issuing the retraction to their front-page headline on page 34 in very small print....

Anyway, hindsight (which, as we all know, is a 'wonderful thing') has revealed Tree not to have been as wrong as I made out.

A re-evalution shows:

1. DX11 - Tree was right, though God knows how, when Ubi didn't even know? Lucky guess, esp?, or sleuth-like powers of deduction (or is it induction?).

2. Ubisoft as publisher - Wrong - debates about when they got involved not withstanding.

3. Release date - Wrong, though arguably only because the devs left out half the game [deliberate overstatement before anyone takes offense]. Arguably if DX11, dynamic weather and dynamic campaign had been included, we may not have seen the game to 2012.

So there you have it. Tune in next week to see me whip myself with stinging nettles...

Yeah, but that was for "Storm of War".... NOT "Cliffs of Dover."

Please Oleg or Luthier, could you clarify that "fight against renegade pilots" thing about the British campaign?
I´m sure it´s some kind of mistake, because doesn´t look like anything that Maddox games works before.
I mean,you always look compromised with historical accuracy and the way it´s written is really strange...
But what I really want to do is compliment Oleg , Luthier and all the staff for the years of hard work that finally are coming for
the end.
Years of good historical battles are coming for the community starting March 2011...
