My First Impressions of CoD

[manfromx]

Hope you don't mine me adding my 2 cents

I'm enjoying the game quite a bit.

The gunnery is definitely more of a challenge, but also much more fulfilling when you do hit something. It feels great coming from IL-2 to see such an impact from just the machine guns on the 109. The damage modelling is incredible.

I did have some issues with the Anthropomorphic realism setting. I think it might be on my side as my joystick may have been twitching and that would restrict me from using elevator trim, flaps etc as my pilots hands were busy (don't go there!). I really like this feature but I'm still trying to figure out how to tell when I can and can't do something. Maybe there is an option to get some more feedback.

As long as this sim is as well supported as IL-2 was, then this will be one of the greatest sims ever. It's rough now but it's worth the money imho. The feeling of flying is definitely there and getting back into WW2 combat with these new flight/weapon and damage models feels great .

This next month is critical though. I really want this game to get decent reviews at launch time in North America.

Since this is the Russian version I'm looking at and I don't speak any Russian please understand many options are hard for me to test, check and change. Blame me before the game until we have our version land .
