That's a good attitude to have. In its present state CloD is hopelessly inferior to RoF in almost all respects. The FMs are dubious at best, the terrain would only look like England if you took a lot of drugs, half the content is placeholders imported from IL-2, including the barrel-rolling AI, the odd-looking clouds etc. All terrible and quite enough to finish Maddox's reputation.
But it also has some very good features as well. The aircraft (and tank!) 3D models are very well done, the DM is good and the water is nicely realised. The cockpits are very good too, comparable to RoF, and the lighting is excellent. Even if it never gets fixed and remains just a half-finished oddity it's still worth a punt. And where else can you fly a Blenheim? (OK, FSX had one)
