Has no one considered the facts that maybe ,just maybe what we have and see is it,there are no hidden jewels.
Yes it is a forum,a forum is that should be open enough to ask,discuss not get shouted down as a doubter.
I am worried that when the sim is released people will have built up too much hope on these issues and then feel deflated.
I wait with baited breath to be shot down for daring to ask.
Just out of interest ,how much can be added in 2 months before release without risking introducing problems and bugs?

If you haven't seen the hidden jewels from SOME of the clips and screen grabs then you haven't been looking. They are out there. This has nothing to do with Oleg worship. I've seen enough with my own eyes to know that the video released as the promo isn't on the finest settings and that there will be levels of detail and visual excitement to satisfy even the most jaded. Some only bitch because it's habit and know no other way of expressing themselves.
Now I (or any serious person interested in this game) don't mind actual criticism, but the truth is that there are a handful of whiners who appear under the guise of wanting to improve CoD. I say Bullsh!t. It's the difference between a boxer and a brawler. A boxer trains and hones his skill for the fight with an understanding of the sport and opponent. The brawler enters the ring and swings wildly not caring who or how they hit. They flail madly hoping to land a punch. Though they may get a hit in here or there, they are untrained, not good opponents and ultimately do nothing for the sport.
An interested hobbyist/boxer (if you will) who gives serious critiquing adds to the conversation and improvement. On the other hand I've seen whiners/brawlers say anything from, "The landscape looks like a 3 year old's colouring book" to "Oleg doesn't care about CoD. He has a new job." Are you going to tell me that THAT is constructive criticism? Those are attacks. There's a difference, and most forum regulars are tired of it. THAT sir is the point.
Another point? When's the last time Oleg's been in here? When he does he's attacked by the uncouth brawler. Sure there are those who worship at the alter of Oleg, but there are many more who go by the track record established in IL2 and truly want to know the progress of CoD without the childish antics displayed by some. And if you think they are bad here - you should see them on other forums.
