What do I like the most in CloD - today!

[Insuber]

I suggest to make a sticky of this thread, as a presentation of the good things of our sim for the new visitors. The image of CloD would benefit IMO.

The girl in the Heartbreaker with her boobs in your face.... I demand working physics for her in next patch.

S!

The cockpits and shadows in them. A lot of small details in graphics engine as well.

1. Yes, the cockpits is the first that comes to mind. Absolute works of art with only a very few exceptions that could've gotten some more love.

2. Feel of flight, back in the early il-2 days I thought to myself, flying a computer sim will never feel better than this, then CloD was released.

3. Sounds, after the sound patch absolutely amazing, everything from the distant fly-by sound of a 109 to the delay in time from when a 20mm cannon shell explodes a few hundred meters in front of you.

4. Lightning and shadow, gorgeous, best (realistic) I've played in any game. Very subtle and not over-used effects.

5. Weapons & bomb effects, also stunning. Ships exploding, dirt cascades from bomb explosions on the ground, hit flashes and debris falling of enemy planes when hitting them. Fantastic.

6. Water, I know some people have some gripes with this but I absolutely love flying over the channel, the water is just alive IMO, love the color too.

There are more things to love and mention about CloD but these stand out the most for me.

1. Ripping a blenheim apart so it appears to be a flying skeleton plane, makes me chuckle every time.

2. Having the south of england stretching into france as a single map is phenominal, the historic missions that are possible is breathtaking.

3. The sound of a spitfire as it fly's past and the groan of the merlin engine as it climbs away from the player, I have seen real spits flying and omg its so realistic.

4. The Scrips for coop, I use the Lobby Maps and play almost every single player mission the depth that we are able to get with the FMB rivals anything else in the same market.

5. Not made by the money hungry DCS team as this update we are getting soon would be a paid addon... and you know it. Im not hating on them just pointing out the dedication of Luthier and co.

Ps this is a great topic.

Well I am very new to CLoD, having just recently installed and not really played much yet. In the process now of creating a joystick file for my Cougar for it, and assigning all the key commands I think I may use one day - whew, quite the task... was a late night last night just assigning key commands to controller commands.

I have flown just a little in the training missions, maybe around an hour total, but OMG the sound man - the sound of the engine on my Klipsch 5.1 soundsystem cranked up - it is incredible - so for me in this extremely early stage, I can say the sound without question! And as I get more into it, I imagine the sound will still rank right up there near the top, if not at the top. I do love great sound, and from what I have heard so far , I am going to love it!

What I like the most is to taunt the red fliers in ATAG to get them motivated to kill us.

Two nights ago right after we won the mission, ATAG_Doc switched to the Red Teamspeak chanel and played the Luftwaffe March for the defeated RAF players.
That was a hoot.
