A few very good points by Blackdog, however being a day one RoF customer, I must say that the game was much more stable, ran smoother and looked better than CloD does now. The feeling of actual flight still is second to none.
If you compare CloD to ROF, the former definately is the trainwreck.
What we must not forget is that CloD (due to the nature of a WW2 sim) is much more complex as far as DMs or the number of simulated modules are (CEM, weaponry, etc.). Of course, that puts a higher strain on our rigs, especially since the whole engine is (unlike RoF's engine by now) not streamlined to cope with everything all at once yet.
While RoF was playable and smooth with everything maxed from the start, I ask the guys that have been there to memorize what would happen with more than 9-12 aircraft in the vicinity at once directly after release.
There's a catch however: Instead of unjustifiedly comparing the two, why don't you go over to their website and download the free version? ROF can and will keep you busy until CloD is fixed and well beyond and it's FREE.
I doubt anyone in here would want to miss out on that experience or rather keep posting on a thread like this.
