It would be a absolute pitty it in a year or so time the developers released a product that failed to meet the expectations of their market.

Even before the developers stopped working on COD, it was impossible to discuss it in isolation. I think this is all just a natural progression and that people still need the oportunity to talk about the state of things.

And also threads like this gives people who know the in-and-outs of ROF give people like me tips to improve the visuals and performance of ROF. That's not a bad thing.

I totally understand folks who go on the BoS forum and voice concerns about the upcoming sim, I even understand the same folks going to the ROF or CloD forums and voicing those concerns also, that is what makes a healthy community (and we are all one community, we all play historical flight sims!)

The problem comes when some choose to just stand around and complain, make unreasonable demands and try to stir up trouble (by trolling topics, instigating fights) and when someone calls them out, they act like they are the victim and that they "were only voicing concern" and accuse the mods of silencing them or some other such nonsense.

Constructive criticism is great, it allows dev's to see what they should do next, complaining, comparing two different products with two very different goals and acting like we are football fans that can only root for one team or the other helps nobody and only causes more problems down the road.

I don't say that you do this Skoshi, I have read your posts and although perhaps I see subtext in some that might actually just be me being to sensitive, I think you are a pretty stand up guy that does not tend to make snide remarks just to piss people off.

Honestly, I think this entire thread is pointless, it is just going to turn into another thread that makes users of both (like me and probably many others) feel unwelcome, it might not be that now but just wait till the trolls get here and start trying to bait others into conflict.

ROF is not CloD, CloD is not ROF and BoS will be neither, I think that is the best way to look at things at this point.
