Well I am wondering with the name "Cliffs of Dover CoD" if they are not going to get a lashing by the makers of "Call of Duty CoD"

No German campaigns? This is not a deal breaker...the German aeroplanes are still flyable, and it will not be long before some talented community member makes some dam fine Luftwaffe missions. Besides, I'm sure that their are some people that would find "Nazi missions to destroy England" to be in bad taste.

The lack of a BF109 manual in the "deluxe" box is also, not a deal breaker...anything "EXTRA" that they throw into a deluxe package is cool...maps, manuals, whatever.

Actually if CoD really lacks any kind of german campaign (which I somehow doubt since it doesn't make sense at all) it would be a dealbreaker for me. I have zero interest in the RAF part and find online totally overrated (with the massive egos and whining that's found online; I have enough kindergarten feeling at work, don't need this in my freetime as well) it wouldn't give me anything substantial.

However, I consider this "information" a mere misunderstanding or miscommunication. The official announcement should clear up any questions.

Just of curiosity; would you see online flying as a opportunity if you found servers that contained the proper level of intellect?

It saddens me when I hear virtual pilots don´t get the opportunity to experience the magnificent world of online flying just due to some air quake idiots.

I have the same feeling. Anyone who treats a new online flier badly is doing IL-2 a disservice. I think I've seen a pic of cs Thor in a 109 once and it was an extremely tight fit. Was that you cs Thor?

For me getting in a tangle with another aeroplane that's being controlled by another living person is so much fun and such a big rush that my hands start to shake if it's a hard fight. So to ruin that for a new comer who wants to try online flying just seems cruel.

I actually sat in the rebuilt Bf 109 G-2 of the Messerschmitt Stiftung back in 2000 or 2001 (but I don't think I ever posted a photo of this ).

Regardless I am not a "newbie" when it comes to online flying - I've done this from 2000 to something 2006 or 2007 but quite frankly my interests are focused on aerial warfare as opposed to the fighter-centered gangbang that is predominant on most servers. I also have very high standards for what is believable and what not (which is why I never got into SEOW or similar wars, I have massive issues with the supply systems in them) and I am an ardent believer in strictly historical planesets.
But I have learned that such interests aren't present online or - which is also true - that projects approaching my ideal make compromises (to cater to certain factions) which I cannot agree with. Which is why I stay offline and "do my own thing".

A great way to put it.
