And thats imo makes no sense what so ever.

Il2 didn't have a fixed limit for planes, neither will CoD. As the campaigns are static though it makes perfectly sense to limit the number of planes so the missions are playable for all systems that meet the requirements (which is in fact the very definition of "requirements" ). Also the number of planes will mostly be limited by the CPU, and unlike graphical features there's not much in terms of settings that can be done about that.

Anyway, with "Spitgirl and the Renegades", I'll probably use the stock campaigns primarily for learning the sim. And with my skills that should take long enough to have a nice selection of 3rd party campaigns available...

Yes I agree, but they won't be able to do anything, unless there are future plans to make an aircraft maintenance sim.

Also, when the spits left for a hurry to intercept you may have 10 seconds to look around you once the engine is fired up, and off you go. They would do good for movies though. I'm for static people in that aspect.

By pointing out that the promo movie might have taken advantage of the in game tool that allows you to remove FPS drop that Luthier told us about but everyone else bar a few seem to have forgotton about also makes me a Troll?
Wanting to hear some sound or see a bomb drop somewhere makes me a Troll as well?


So who are the real Trolls here? Maybe its people like you who tell us dont worry guys just go and spend your cash on a game that you havent seen running, Oleg wont let you down, all pure speculation 'pick me ups', from the same old diciples. Well as you can see two weeks away from release and the excuses are wearing a bit thin, even some of the most faithfull are begining to question why we aren't seeing any real footage or hearing any sounds.
In real terms weve seen feck all of how this product performs. We know the Battle of Britian theme as been dropped because the game engine cannot handle more than 21 bombers but obviously for the sheep heads this is not a worry, but for us Trolls its slightly concerning.

The release of BOB COD is so close at hand it doesn't matter what anyone says about anything. Oleg is judy releasing what he wants to release, which answers the request for updates. Afterall, what does an update mean at this point anyway?

Oleg, works all day and on Friday evening before he goes home. Oleg says to himself, "Whoops, I almost forgot, I got to post some pictures for the update whiners".

Seriously, don' t sweat the updates the release is so near I doubt any news will change anyone's mind about buying COD at this point.

I've decided to even buy it off steam, if that's my only recourse.

Sorry, but my anticipation level has reached meltdown,woe is me.

For your info, Amazon France has just delayed the availability date from March 24th to March 31st. Still good news ...

It is quite disturbing that release is only weeks away and this is what we get as an update. Eventually this will become a great sim when it gets updated and hardware catches up to its potential. Looks like it is going to run quite rough on todays PC's and the missions will be nowhere close to the needed "hundreds" of aircraft (much like IL2 was). In hindsight Oleg should have started out in a theater with less expectations for the amount of aircraft in the missions. You cannot fight the Battle of Britain with a dozen aircraft in the air!

Not knocking it since it will probably be the best flight sim around, when released, but some of you guys on this board are much too easily impressed and buy into the company line and Olegs laurels from IL2.

As far as i've heard about 50-60 planes on each side which isn't bad considering how detailed the product is,
i'd rather have that than 200 ai planes with inferior ai, modelling etc. The hardware will catch up eventually indeed.
