Personally I am disappointed that we have not yet seen the patch considering how long ago the alst one was released and the major stability issues we still have to put up with. The game is clearly playable for some (and I have to say I am in that fortunate group of people to a certain extent) however the launcher crashes hit me whenever I fly online anywhere around the hour mark and no matter what I do with settings, cache clearance, game booster etc. etc.
I still think that Cliffs of Dover is a great game and has a lot of potential, but not having the basic foundation of it being stable is beginning to get difficult to stomach. The stability needs to be fixed, everything else is secondary: I can cope with slightly odd AI, "non accurate" FM's and a multitude of other issues: but the crashes are starting to stretch my patience.
Will I buy Battle of Moscow? Yep!! - whilst Cliffs of Dover has been a terrible launch into the new "Il2" series I really hope that we will see this new series grow and mature just like we did with the original IL2 series.
Right now JG53 is in the interim weeks between the Battle of France (which we used as a tester campaign getting used to the new game etc.) and the Battle of Britain - I had hoped for the patch today as that would have tied in great as right now it is difficult for a group such as ours to oeprate a full Battle of Britain theatre simply because by the time we have gotten airborne, formed up and gotten to target we have lost 30% of people to launcher crashes, add in the time to complete whatever objective or engagement is set and you're looking at around 25% of people are most left "in mission" : sure the others can relaunch their games and reconnect but the teamwork is broken up destroying the focus and immersion of missions.
I hope to see the patch soon, even if it simply eliminates the launcher crash issue - the other features I'm happy to wait for, even happy to pay for with the Battle of Moscow addon.
