Oh, come on Tree. Do you really think that is a sensible and fair way of summing up CoD (and that's without taking into account the fact that you don't even have the game yet)? Do you not think your statement is a little naive, over simplistic, misplaced and antagonistic?

So, that's it then. According to you CoD "doesn't work". And then what Tree? What do you advise? That no one buys this game because we've all been led up the garden path by these disingenuous developers/publishers? Where would that leave us then? Ooh, let me think. Ah yes, got it ... there'd be no IL2 CoD for us to play with ... ever.

Look, the reality is that our hobby is niche, and therein lies the problem. The numbers of global players are small and so development/publishing budgets will be relatively small. Added to this the fact that that flight sims are inherently complex creatures, they will always be released a little buggy. That is our world, and we need to understand that and put up with it. The good news is that Oleg and team are passionate about their projects and they have a proven track record of getting things right. They will get this right, if not on initial release, in subsequent patches. BUT, they will only get this right if we let them. We need to stop all this negative crap and get behind 1C and give them the support the bloody deserve. Or perhaps you'd rather buy one of the many other WWII flight sims on the market with a proven 10+ year pedigree?
