Our old group (III./JG27 as my sig indicates
) decided to switch to CoD already in June. We have a hard start and here and then discussions are up again, but for many of us, there was no getting back to IL2, and for me there will be no. Some or many flying more RoF now, but it really put us into a hard challange to hold on and enjoy PC simulation together. But we train now on CoD and are getting slowly into it, though for many it is not really possible, due to hardware issues.
I spent most of my time with CoD in the FMB and as Bliss said, CoD has a huge potential in mission design, even though I have no idea of programming, I rather switch completly to DCS or RoF, before I reinstall the old 1946, and that`s not only me and caused a kind of red line in our group.
I also like the fast food action, trying to outturn a Spit on deck with my E3b for relaxation or the Repka 3 Minimap for some flying and shooting practice, but what I miss, is a server which provides you the feeling of how it could have been in the time over the channel and South Britain. So I am about to bring our server in shape, and with the map design I focus on historically orientated missions. In 1946 we were always missing a DF server were a squad can join and fly an organized mission any time. Usually the airfields and maps were designed for the regular quicky or if you want to fly in VOW or AFW you had to wait an hour for enough players to join a coop. Or the map was over just when all members had got airborne. Now we have a chance to combine coop and DF server and so we want to focus and will try to provide a server for squads for training and mission flying without interuptions by lone wolf-die hard players and dive into the immersion of a sortie on a 1:1 map and with encounters within squadsize (AI or other squads) and not the usually 1 or 2 aginst 1 or 2. So I hope more squads will show up in CoD MP and enrich the game.
