Did I ever say it wont?
Did I ever say I hated it?

If I am becoming a bore then dont read my comments, simple. If you have low standards then buy the game and dont complain, because if everyone had the attitude you do, there would not of been the long term Il2 community and dev support that there is.

Can't say much to oppose that review, in all I think it was fair.

Although I'm a hard believer that WOP graphics won't have a profound impact on how great people find this game. A nice graphics package always comes at a price for content it seems.

I'm of the patient flight sim demographic, she's sitting on the HD until I can play it proper. DCS A-10C has come a long way in it's patches since release so I'm sure this will hopefully follow suit.

Cruel review but fair, especially from someone who obviously wants to boot the game up and play it without too much fuss.
I think the kind of buyer who relies on reviews like this would be advised to avoid this game in its current state- there are many broken elements as the reviewer described.
Personally, i'm really enjoying this game. It's a whole new challenge for me and i can overlook the current limitations and if the rate of improvement continues it will be brilliant in a few months.
The skills i learned in Il2 have to be relearned all over again and i get more a of sense in CoD that each plane is VERY individual. Current flightsim enthusiasts would be silly to give up on CoD because it has such great potential, but flightsim enthusiasts are very different to the average gamer.

Let me get this straight, the Devs are going to support this sim because your complaining................and thats why there has been the long term il2 community............ you have got to be kidding me.

Drink enough vodka, that 4 looks just like a 9. Say bye- bye to bad reviewski

As previous posters have said, I hate to say it but the reviewer is spot on. It's actually a very good and objective review and I agree with the reviewer, the game is unfit for regular consumers. I'm still playing and enjoying it though and with every patch it's improving but not having the radio comms fixed yet is just, well bad!

I think they really need some more documentation, printable maps Keys list and more tutorials...ive been with il2 for around 9 years and got to know the game quit well....gave me a headache though because i didnt have the internet back then, got it a couple of years after, and thats when i really started to learn the game, so can you imagine what a newcomer to Cliffs would feel like!.

But i love the game! It needs work but i love it already

Amen brother! More documentation, especially on the FMB.
