And last week, for the first time in about 2 months I fired up the good old IL-2 1946. I was surprised at how dated the graphics looked, and how arcade-like the FM and DM and sound was compared to Clod.
It is weird because before I played Clod for the first time, I didn't notice any of those things about 1946.

Since as far as I see, almost everybody who has Clod also bought 1946, I'm wondering:

How many Clod owners still actively play 1946?

And to those who don't play 1946:
Did you uninstall it, or do you have it installed but just don't use it anymore?

I agree on your analysis that it's unfortunate how dated IL2 1946 feels now after CloD as it felt so good before. At the other hand, thanks to all the patches over the years it's an amazing product that actually is almost perfect... If we just hadn't seen CloD and realized that it's getting old...

So now we have a teenager with a bit weird proportions, no manners and pimples all over the face while the old beauty is starting to look wrinkled and tired (even though Daidalos has used some new makeup to spice her up). I just hope the teenager blossoms into the beauty that is there. I will still keep on dating her mum so let's hope she doesn't find out

Thinking of that, I think it's time to go knock on the old ladies door tonight while waiting to see if the miracle pimple cream that MG is cooking will be done this week?

EDIT: And I miss two alternatives:

* I have both installed but while waiting for the patch I only play IL2
* I have both installed but play none as CloD has made 1946 feel so old and the online CTD bug makes playing CloD impossible so I hang out here wasting time in this forum looking for the Grail patch...

EDIT 2: And I would have voted for the last one if you wouldn't have reminded me of the old lady so tonight I'm off to try some IL2 online Thanks for that!
