It was said already by luthier I think...
There won't be any dynamic weather on initial release...
They tried putting it in, but the game dropped to 1fps and they didn't have time to optimize it enough...
So it will become available in a future patch

So I heard - care to share the link where luthier said that? Nobody seems to have it.

I can't find it back, I think it came from a google translation of the sukhoi forum...

I am always surprised some people here ignore there is another great forum...The sources of the comments on weather are here (I know because I was at the origin of the Google-helped translation on CheckSix.fr):

Even optimized dynamic weather - as cool as it will be - is just going to be a resource hog. Overall I'm very optimistic about the performance CoD is going to have on relatively new systems judging from what I've seen so far considering the incredible amount of fidelity and detail we'll see in the DM, FM and (hopefully) AI.

Just be prepared to make a few compromises in the details, effects and maybe even sub-native resolutions to keep a decent average framerate.

I'd like to see Ilya's system there with low altitude flying over cities though.

Let's hope this is not true...
