I like the game and play it when i have time, but i had to give it a 40%.
There are just too many bugs and so far very poor record with the fixes.
We kept getting patches that "fixed" the full screen and the bloody thing is still messed up. Some flight models have a very strong resemblance to il-2, wich makes one think of a simple copy and paste job. Even the bugs in Il-2 were transfered over. Bf-110 behaviour at 500km/h is a strong example.
GUI quite bad and non intuitive. The first thing everyone asks when joining a multiplayer game is how can I select a plane.
The sound of course is a mess. Multiplayer bugs are everywhere and so on.
Another big disapointment is communication. Specially for the outside Russia market. Complete blackout.
Nobody from the developement team posted anything on UBI in about three years! That's the home of the game for the new international customers. Until they find this place anyway.
I know, many of you would say, that is Ubi's forum, UBIs job. Well, the things were the same with Il-2 and Oleg posted there constantly for over six years.
That's no good excuse to abandon the home for international community. That's where new users go first time.
Even before the release, you had to go dig on Russian sites, not related to the game, like Sukhoi.ru, to find new info posted by the developers.
Sorry, but the communication with the customers is complete garbage.
So, as much as I like some aspects of the game, I can't give it anything over 40% right now.
