Climb and turn gently to see the splashes of your bombs closing on the ship (by the way, the splash intervals reduce progressively as the bomb slows down). Admire the chain explosions of the ship and the pieces falling all around. Then dodge those pesky fighters on your way back to base. Then you will have a vague idea of this sim.

Of course all the above is applicable only is your PC is beefed up enough.


Cheers!

Yeah, I appreciate those moments - I really do! However, I just can't even share my joy with my wingmen, let alone ground stations. This complete lack of radio communication is THE thorn in the side for me. I mean, this rather trivial problem existed from the start and is still un-fixed and that is far beyond my efforts of patience and calmness.
I could look over most of the bugs quite easily, if that ONE problem would be taken care of.

As has been said many times, this game has a lot of potential and I fully concur with that. CoD is a shining star in terms of potential - however, you all know where we're stuck at (I'm pretty sure that the guy with the vision was/is Oleg, btw).
And the way the "dev team" handles this potential, blatantly throwing away most of it, makes me sad and angry. And angry and sad.
I'd bet on the patch arriving no earlier than 6-8 weeks before the release of the Addon. You know why...
