- AI (mostly sharpshooter idiot)
- SP (campaigns are primitive, few single missions, no historical flights)
- MP (only official server runs 5v5 mission. no dogfight mode yet)
- Empty-ish game world (no ka-boom on the front like in OFF, no random flak like in FE, no AA MG like in RB)
- Very few planes
- No extensive manual on mission editor or N.17. Only basic instructions for the other two planes.
- AI uses same FM as player so FM calculations for about a dozen of planes can cause severe fps drop"

see thats a summary from somebody who actually bought it and used it, worth a closer look

the most idiotic decision they made is to exclude offline players, which by official il2 polls have been shown to be 90% of all their flightsim customers. the flightsim market is already very small, why deliberately exclude 90% of them from the start ? no wonder they have to come up with a scheme where they want to extract another 50$ for extra planes and sceneries each month.
