Yep, most definitely. I've spent thousands in a PC, a fancy HOTAS, Track IR, even a fancy desk just so I could enjoy one of my hobbies - playing WWII combat sims.

I think the $50 or w/e it costs to keep that hobby alive is a fairly cheap investment. Lets face it, noone else is doing a high fidelity WWII sim, let alone one that has as much possibilities with it.

I'll be the 1st one in line to preorder the new sequel. I've been waiting for this series forever. I'm sure many others have as well. And there's no way that a few bugs / issues that are being worked on are going get my panties in a twist over it.

I've gotten my monies worth 100x over with this sim already. Even with the bugs, the experience is simply amazing. And when we get this damned launcher crashing thing fixed, I can't wait to see all the formations of bomber guys, fighters, and the masses online. The future for this is just getting started, and I'm happy that I'm finally getting to fly it - even if a bit broken in some areas.

I already did support the sim buying collector's edition I think (I do not regret it either) and got something far from what was promised so far.

I also think that this could be an awesome game, have no doubt about it and never said the opposite, but I expect that when I buy a car not only has four wheels but it also runs.

With this "grab the money and run" policy 1C is showing with this sim (at least to me) makes me have serious doubts about how the whole project has been planned, to be honest.

I'd be happy to keep buying whatever they release as far as these have enough quality to be considered something to think about investing more money on them.

I had other disappointments with 1C develpoments in the past, TOW for instance was a even more buggy game when it was first released and people got really pissed off, many stuck to their word and never bought anything else from the saga, but I do not want that happens with CoD at all.

"grab the money and run"

Where exactly did they run?......from what I can see they are still here and have produced several patches.

Guys download Rise of flight! It has a lot of things CLOD currently not has! While playing ROF you can wait for the improvement of CLOD! Simple!

Or play Red Orchestra 2, Skyrim etc.

I stopped complaining! Its useless anyway! If they can fix this thing i will buy the sequel! If not..... it would be a shame but the world does not end because of this!

This sim has a lot of good about it. If it is finished it will be great. I also like the idea of a sequel.

However, if it is released before CoD is fixed up to something closer to finished software it will be very bad for sales (I for one won't buy it). If the sequel is released like CoD was (I doubt they are that stupid), it would destroy the series.

If CoD is finished and the sequel is equally finished, I will buy the sequel with excitement and the series'rep will be intact. I believe the vast majority (not everyone) will do the same as me and are watching for the outcome.

So good luck devs...keep working on CoD and I look forward to buying the sequel after CoD is finished.

Happy New Year

Mate if the sequel is released and includes the content we were promised in the original CoD and runs as it should..you will buy it regardless of the state of CoD, same as anyone would..

Doesnt matter who you are and what opinions you have about 1c/CloD/Steam or whatever..If the games there and its good everyone will buy it..the people that wont are the ones that dont like flight Sims..Id like to think there isnt too many of them here

Well put.

The Russian Front expansion will contain fixes that will automatically be applied to CLOD because of their merged install.

Looking forward to it.

I'm just being lazy but do we have a ETA on this expansion?
