Oh, come on Tree. Do you really think that is a sensible and fair way of summing up CoD (and that's without taking into account the fact that you don't even have the game yet)? Do you not think your statement is a little naive, over simplistic, misplaced and antagonistic?

So, that's it then. According to you CoD "doesn't work". And then what Tree? What do you advise? That no one buys this game because we've all been led up the garden path by these disingenuous developers/publishers? Where would that leave us then? Ooh, let me think. Ah yes, got it ... there'd be no IL2 CoD for us to play with ... ever.

Look, the reality is that our hobby is niche, and therein lies the problem. The numbers of global players are small and so development/publishing budgets will be relatively small. Added to this the fact that that flight sims are inherently complex creatures, they will always be released a little buggy. That is our world, and we need to understand that and put up with it. The good news is that Oleg and team are passionate about their projects and they have a proven track record of getting things right. They will get this right, if not on initial release, in subsequent patches. BUT, they will only get this right if we let them. We need to stop all this negative crap and get behind 1C and give them the support the bloody deserve. Or perhaps you'd rather buy one of the many other WWII flight sims on the market with a proven 10+ year pedigree?

Tree, what do you mean doesn't work, from the videos I have seen it works, although it needs some tweaking and there are some hoped for features missing, all these can be corrected, but it does work, time to drop the crusade and admit that although some of your concerns were correct most things you said have now been proven incorrect or at least vastly overstated, don't worry, like RBJ etc you will be remembered with some humour once this game has had some time to develop further, I'll personally always picture you with a tinfoil hat on and a placard with I told you so written on it

If you can't report and discuss issues (or supposed issues) here, then it's not a forum anymore. The fact is at this time, this game has potential, but is crippled with technical issues. As long as the posts are not offensive, I don't see the problem.

The problem is that most of those saying how bad the game is have never tried it. They're jumoing to conclusions based on a youtube clip, without knowing how that PC was setup, whether they had the latest patch, whether there's a new patch on the way, etc. According to Ilya there are problems, but we don't officially know what's happening yet, and remember, it hasn't actually been released here yet.

Seconded. I imagine they must be well stressed at the moment. IL2 is my favoruite game of all time, and I consider it quite important to me that CoD lives up to the development teams ambitions - but I imagine it means even more to the team that have spent 6 years (or 4 or whatever it is) of their lives developing it. So good luck team.
