the main thing we can blame oleg for in that regard is that he wasnt in the office supervising 24/7 as he had been in the previous series, and he should under normal circumstances have spotted that issue much earlier on
since the gfx engine is the main element that all the other parts are tagged onto, it not being fixed became a major issue for the whole game, and yes they then started slshing and cutting various elements that loaded the gpu and cpu, but as you well rember that didnt fix it. in the end it needed a full gfx engine rebuild (which did fix it)
BoS is not on a different route to the same destination at all, its on a different continent and driving on the other side of the road to a completely different destination
i find it rather funny that people, including you by the looks of your latest comment, keep somehow believing this new RoF venture is going to produce the holy grail of il2sturmovik we have all been waiting for the last 5 yrs, and it just aint so folks. its not aiming to be, and it cant by its very design limitations. think re skinned RoF with ww2 aircraft instead |
It is clear that you are so blinded by your loyalty to CloD that you refuse to even give anything else a chance, the new IL-2 is not going to be ROF reskinned for WWII, to even think that is pretty silly considering that they have made it clear that the engine is capable of doing more and that they are doing a lot of work to make sure it feels like a WWII sim.
You seem to think that the idea of this new IL-2 is somehow a personal insult against you and the CloD community and you refuse to accept that any sim might actually be better (in the case of barely touching DCS World and deciding it was inferior just because it is not exactly like CloD, even though it is clearly superior when it comes to systems modeling, flight physics and damage model).
Some random company could make the best sim in the world, a technical marvel and you would still say it sucks compared to CloD just because it is not CloD.
CloD is a great sim but it has some clear flaws that are never going to get fixed now, it's development ended with the last steam patch and perhaps it is time we accept that fact, continue enjoying the sim but also feel free to look forward to something new, something that might actually be good.
This pissing match between "the ROF crowd" and the "IL-2 crowd" is getting tiresome, perhaps it is time to just accept that things have changed that are outside our control (and possibly for the better, we will have to give them the benefit of the doubt) instead of just saying "if it ain't CloD, it ain't a sim!".
I don't even know why I bother reading these forums, I feel like I have to take a side (because I play both ROF and CLoD) and I don't want to.
