Fanboys again....

CoD is on very low graphic because this setting is the maximum i can run with my PC, when RoF run great also with maximum setting, also online.

In 2011 i was waiting for something more than a Commodore 64 game for XP and DX9.

I've also Slovakia in 1946, with superb textures, much better than what i've in CoD now. With low setting this engine should have been at least like IL2 at maximum, and it's not....is worst than IL2.

So, yes...fanboys.

I'll give you an example: I'm an amateur oldtimer-motorcycle tuner, I work with old cilinders with great care and it's always a struggle to get the most out of it.
The step from let's say tuning the same cilinder to 80 HP to 81HP is much more difficult/expensive than from 50 to 51. Making things closer to realism is exactly such thing, Il2 was already pretty close to real life if viewed from a distance, and with the newest maps: Slovakia, things got even more realistic. CoD however does not only look great from a distance it also looks very good on very low altitudes. It's hard to make huge improvements if you are already so close to the real thing.

Another reason why CoD may appear rough is because AA is not working or not properly.

Notice the number people viewing CoD forum was over 340. There's no doubt what that means. Interest is high and only time will tell if this continues to bleed off others from the remaining sims.

@ Sven:

Very nice screenshot, indeed! But you're not actually playing the game with those settings, do you? If yes, I'd be impressed

For me the game is playable at maximum settings. That obviously doesn't help the contless people that are having problems, but it does show that the screenshot Sven posted is achievable and hopefully we'll all be there one day.

It's still a sign of the Apocalypse for the old as we move into the new. Progress. You can't stop it. This ship has set sail already. You cannot turn back the clock hands. It's a steady progression of things like this. Remember Pong? That was all the rage for a long time.
