THIS! Except for performance and the lack of basic grapic features like SLI and FSAA and the game being stable...

I hav e so much hope for the upcoming CLOD Patch. Fingers crossed...

Wings of Prey had alot of potential, but Gaijin quickly dropped support for that sim. World of Planes, or War Thunder, whatever they call it in the end will also have alot of potential, maybe Gaijin will support their product this time and make it into a sim that will give COD some competition.

Hopefully the new Gaijin release will have maps large enough, and a mission builder for uses other than airquake fights. Time will tell. The Gaijin sim could draw newcomers to the genre who will filter into the more simulated COD series.

Wow Clod really looks pretty at the slowed down speed in those videos, love the prop effect.

Sure War Thunder at first glance may look prettier but what' their plane damage model like? CloD's damage model is unmatched and makes each engagement different. Something new happens to my plane every time I fly or get shot down, or shoot someone else down. They just need to increase the fps a bit and keep adding a few of the features and slowed down fps early on (weather, AA, reflections, shiny sunsets).

I do like the terrain in War Thunder WOP. But what I think it does really well compared to Cold is the tracers. To me it looks like your firming bullets instead of photon layers.. heh. The ground war looks Sick!.. Nothing compares to Clods damage model and CEM though, which is what is dragging our machines down to a crawl..I believe.

Wrong, patch 1.0.4.7 was available in Dec 2011 and they are on patch 1.0.4.8 now (not sure when it was released). I am assuming you refer to the PC version of the game.

Any comparison of the landscapes needs to take into account that CoD's landscape is many many times bigger than the other landscapes. So, it is more or less like comparing the "landscape" of "Modern Warfare" with "America's Army", or something like that.

I stand corrected, they are supplying patches but nothing seems to change. I still can't find a place to land my 109 on the BOB map, which makes the sim a non-starter for me. Its too bad as this was the perfect opportunity to draw more people from the IL-2 community because of COD's problems, but I still prefer to fly the old IL-2 than WOP, as are most in the sim community, maybe War Thunder will be different.
