200 planes? BS. Most I've managed is 130+ planes, and the slowdowns, as I've recently found, are severe (unplayable). 125 He111s with 18 Me110s as escort can bomb London ok, but I had to remove the 24 Hurries that intercepted them because I was seeing 6fps regularly. The CPU can handle only so much abuse.

Well, perhaps not whilst bombing London...

Still, point is that IL-2 struggles more with less planes. That is what I've found out.

what we have right now is more or less empty shell and with its set of problems. Both technical and design ones. I can accpet that some people are big fans and are happy even with empty buckett, hoping, that it will be filled by somebody in due time...but that somebody has to have budget. Budget doesn't come with poorly managed game development. So it will not be my fault if COD series is no more because I criticise it, but it will be 1C, Maddox games (whatever has left of it) and project manager's fault.
Oleg Maddox has made himself quite a respectable name in domain of combat flight simulation, I'm sure he will make sure it remains so. with this or any other project.

Yep, and that would probably be very useful knowing when/if there are no developers doing WWII combat flight sims.

Yes what a bust, AAA + 18 Me110 + 125 He111 bombing LONDON with 30 bombs each = 3750 bombs, and u get slowdowns.


Seriously, someone need to sack those hack programmers over there.

BoB2 can do over 400 without slowdown, and it's what, 5 years old, 6 ?

I wish they could transplant WOV's campaign into CoD (or IL-2 for that matter).

I for my part was and i am a simmer. Started with the first "sims" on a C 64 i for myself can say i cant see WWII sims en masse and i am very happy to own another great sim. I speak only for myself

So i see what huge step forward the dev team made. I really love the detail i find on these great airplanes and the love its in it and was/is made by the team. Luthier knows that this sim is not finished but there is a roadmap he wrote down and the first thing that has to be done is performance. Sure i cant wait for the add ons or the Bf 109E-4 or hopefully one time the Westland Whirlwind. But i am confident that this sim has a great potential.

I do not want offend anybody, this is my personal view. I am really pleased to play it now, two weeks ago it was unplayable for me, sure i turned off clouds, shadows and grass but its very well playable for me. Sure i miss clouds, shadows etc but i know and i have seen it with the latest patch luthier wont let me down and i wont let him down or critisize him in any way.

Salute and to all a Happy Easter.
