The badly flawed and unbelievably poorly researched flight models are a deal breaker for me. Its not even close to being ready for release as a Battle of Britain simulator.

Such a poor argument, the old if you think you can do better then go ahead retort. Have you ever been to the cinema to watch a movie and thought that sucked? Surely by your logic then you could go and make a better movie. Have you ever been to a restaurant for an expensive meal and thought that was awful? Then go and make a better gourmet meal for loads of people at a restaurant. Have you ever purchased any item or paid for any service that was sub-standard at best or at worst a total rip-off? Then go and do it better or make a better one yourself.

I dare say at least once, if not many times in your life you have had a good rant or complained about a shoddy item or service you paid for. Please don't respond with some tripe about how CoD is different and the only salvation for us simmers.

Havent tried multiplayer in CloD yet, but for off-line campaigns, and putting together QMB action, Il-2 1946 is far better. Also the radio voices in CloD make those in Il-2 1946 seem believable in comparison.

They have bitten off more than they could chew. Nothing more, nothing less.

If they succeed in financing further support for the game it will get fixed in a year or so. If not, it will die except for some hardcore-fans.

We saw this happen before (Janes-Series, MightyEighth, ...) and we will see this happen again. Maybe with CoD, maybe not.


That's a pretty unemotional view, maybe, but all this babbling around the facts won't help anybody.

Guess u weren't here when IL2 started

Latest tidbit:

Mini-update from devs

On Russian forum from developers (not official statement):

Quote:
В игре многое что отключено на данный момент, не соврать 50% кода в графике на данный момент отключено, со временем будем потихоньку включать.
Облака новые с сабскаттерингом, и погода, и до ландшафта дойдут руки.


Translation: at this point about 50% of features is off (just not ready), but devs will slowly add this features in game when it is ready. In future: new clouds with sub-scattering, new weather, landscape.
Also they say that current water is place-holder from DX9 version. New water will have a wave, surf, and will be transparent - you can see ships below waterline, submarine, bottom of the sea.

But right now they fixing bugs and work on optimisation.

When it works its great but thats not often enough and its too flawed to be described as the best.....or even particularily good. That crown is worn by Rise of Flight at the moment (IMHO anyway...)

There is much potential and i truly hope it lives up to it but its a bit early to declare a game the best when you can't even go online without crashing every 5 minutes.

Bugs, bugs and bugs!
It will be good with time. Now it's just enough to take a plane for a ride.
