I'll wait and see. If it's just another sandbox without offline gameplay, decent single missions and campaigns I'll wait some more ... and if it's essentially again just a sandbox in which only the usual pointless fighter clusterf*** is possible I'll refrain from buying at all.

It must be EXTREMELY good, to convince me.

And there's not enough faith left so see they can do this. But I still hope they prove me wrong - and hopefully offer a more interesting theater of war next...

a big step in the good direction is the growing number of player online since the release of the two or three patches and more particulary the final release. I think the faith come back but bring another problem we could not imagine a short while before. Yesterday night ATAG was for the first time at my knowledge really full. I tried to come in severals times but it was impossible, 99 peoples were steady playing !!!! In another part i am sure they keep some fixes and improvements for the sequel ,wich will be merged in COD. They have to sell their sequel , so i think they will intruduce a lot of features to restore their reputations . that the reasons i'll buy on first day the sequel.

Hello, can you tell me which graphic drivers you are using? Your seeing something COMPLETELY different than I do. The issue raised two RC ago is the shimmer/flicker in the prop, I see absolutely NO hint of that in your video, which I'm happy for you, and its amazing, because when I fly, and look through the gunsight, zoomed or not, I often see a flickering haze. That would not be a deal breaker with the sim, were it not for the fact that the purpose of the gunsight is to shoot planes down, which makes the view through the gunsight rather important.

I'm running a Phenon X6 1100T, 16 gigs of ram, win 7pro 64 and a 3 gig 580 gtx, and I'm running my cpu OC'd at 3.8, up from the standard 3.4 so there is really no reason whatsoever I should not be seeing the what you do, and that is what is upsetting. I have particles on medium, many things on medium actually, and it makes no difference ssao/vsync/AA etc on or off. IF I was able to experience YOUR game play, I"d love the game.

I'm using 306.23. I have some "flickering haze" when the sunlight hit the proppeler blades in some angles, like in this other video, but nothing that ruins my aim.

The performance is very good, because i recorder this "on the fly" with FRAPS, and the performance without recording is much better.

I will wait and see. I do not have confidence in the project management, and indeed their capacity for debacle has been greater than I ever imagined possible.
If the initial reviews are good, I may buy it but I would certainly not give them the benefit of the doubt this time. I also tend to agree with CSThor that without some meaningful mechanics for offline play, it just isn't worth getting.

The only reason I would buy a sequel would be for the improvements it would (should) make to CloD, i.e. weather, comms, bug fixes and other enhancements. I'm actually not that interested in BoM - just a better CloD.

I spend about $4000 on a computer and a 30 inch monitor, flight sim peripherals etc etc etc. Just to play Il2,CloD (had I known the state at release I would've waited a year before upgrading). This program cost me less than $50 and right now (online) is a blast to play. Another $50 for more content is not going to bother me too much. To be honest, if you think $50 (in the West) is too much to play the BEST WWII simulator available right now, you need another hobby.

Even if every bug is fixed and every promised feature for CoD is implemented, I still won't buy it if Soviet planes are once again unrealistically uber as they are in IL-2.

I spent over 2k, upgraded my video card twice, and I still have graphic issues which are unrealistic. Many who have spent way less do not have these graphic issues, which mean, of course, major graphic problems still exist, regardless of how much your or I spent to play the game.

I too think it one of the best flight sims out there, however, its lacking in offline play and the devs made us feel grateful that they stuck around for a year and half to complete their project. Consumers should not have to beg or whine to get a decent product, it's expected, well, expected if you want to remain in business.
