They now patch and add content almost every month and are still planning more content for at least another year.

COD on the other hand had over 5 years in development, 15 months post release and we are still in alpha state, no more content planned and a patch on average every 4 months.

Its 7 months since the last official patch and counting...

And your point is?

They might release patches but at the end of the day the game is too arcady for my liking and the FM's are screwed up, a pity because it looks great and runs very well....

Steady Ace...Furbs really just wants this to be a great sim

Regardless of what some think Furbs has a perfectly valid point.
Over a year since 'release' and no end in sight for a decent game that the majority can use without CTD's, stutter, locks, memory leaks etc with any confidence.

I paid my £50 in advance for a complete game, in good faith like many others, and I feel that I have been let down with no 'fix' in sight, just more lame excuses and so whats from Dev's.

And before the flamers start, I have been loyal to 1C for years and still fly IL2 as part of a squad three times a week.

Wow! Hearing that from Kristorf. I could say the exact same but hey, what's the point? We all know the state of the sim and where it's going/not going so why bother. It's good "old" IL-2 is still around plus there are many other gaming distractions to spend your free time on. Maybe BoM will be a success.

I agree completely with this, and like Kristorf still fly IL2 as part of a different squad, around 3 times a week.

There's still just to much wrong with Clod for the dangerdogz to even consider swapping to it.

One day maybe, but its not going to be any day soon realistically.

I wish they would. Luthier is a very nice guy and has the best of intentions. He does not have sufficient foller me for leading a project though. I remember him saying that some of the staff at MG "hate his guts" for some of the scheduling decisions and design choices he made. On the other hand, Albert over at RoF is a rather fierce ex-army noncom who really seems to know how to get it done.

Furbs! You might want to check the validity of this statement.

I can't remember any recent 'free' patches that were'nt tied in to paid downloadable content. This is due to their marketing decision. And even that isn't almost monthly.

Some people might get excited about dangling streamers off their stringers but I am not one of them. If it was authentic then for my eighty plus dollars I would expect it to come with the sim. It is a pitty that after a several years ROF can't even fix their trees!

ROF is good for a laugh but I haven't even firered her up to check the last pre-paid aircaft I bought. COD is too immersive.
