I've barely touched the campaign...I think I'm on the third mission of the British campaign, so I'm not the best person to ask in that regard.
I prefer the flight characteristics of CoD, not that I have anything to gripe about in 1946, but the planes feel a little less skittish (I can't think of a better word at the moment) and in my opinion it's easier to aim exactly where you want to in CoD.
I'd like to give you more detailed info on the flight characteristcs, but I'm learning this game still, especially the cem part. All I can say is that it feels authentic enough to me not to spot anything blatantly out of place or inaccurate.
People are having a bit of a moan about certain planes like for instance the 109 not performing quite up to the standard of the real thing, but I'm sure these are things that will be patched in time.
Landings are definitely easier as compared to 1946. Especially with the 109.
We've had this discussion on other threads, so you may want to find those.
Basically, the added detail and higher texture resolution has made it a lot easier to see the runway as compared to 1946.
In 1946 I had to really strain my eyes to see runways from any kind of appreciable distance, but not so now.
It's much easier to spot the runway and prepare your landing, imo.
Another thing where this game scores over 1946, imo, is that for me it was damn near impossible to play with icons off in 1946. I could not for the life of me spot enemy fighters unless they were right on top of me.
Now it's perfectly possible (not to mention more authentic) to play with icons off. You can spot bombers from miles away, and even the fighters are not hard to spot at all, unless they're at a lower altitude.
Even then, with a bit of practice, it's quite possible to spot a 'bogey' flying on the deck.
It feels so much more realisitic, and there is no way I can ever go back to flying with icons on.
