Those you mention are minor bugs. Some of them are things you can see there and will be in future developments.

I dedicate to FLY, not to look for gaming weaknesses. Compared to real flight, I feel like I've had to obtain my real PPL-A license not to fly Cessnas... but to fly CoD.

I've seen very experienced virtual pilots, too much used to fly in simulators only (and maybe never in real life), that fell to anger against CoD by not reading the manual and facing with the problems I've mention about.

Once performance problems solved, there's no way back from CoD to 1946.

That's my oppinion, of course low end users will have a very different oppinion, I can undestand that.
You're a bit of an idealist Tuckie. We, as pilots see the brilliance and potential of this game. Adjustable gunsights, ammo selection, realistic engine management and damage conditions etc etc. For an average gamer who expects his games to run right out of the box this game was a nightmare right out of the box on release. If it was not for Steam a lot of people would've returned it to the store and get a refund. Can't blame them either. You buy something, you want to use it now, not one year from now.

Lucky for them Steam does not do refunds so now they have a chance to get the patches and be awed. Best of both worlds. Don't want to study, keep it simple and just fly and shoot untill you foam at the mouth. Want to have the study sim experience go full realism and experience it from a real pilots point of view. The workload will be a bitch but getting a kill makes it all worth it. Cranking the gear down after part of the hydrolic's are shot away and only half the gear comes down is intresting. Can you fix it with compressed air or do you hand pump it down? Mind blowing! Al this for $50 bucks..and you get to shoot at stuff

Once it's patched all bugs will be gone. Something obvious but some people just don't get it.
IL2 1946 wasn't the sim it became out of the box in fact it's still being patched.

I guess the guy who made the review had no damn idea.

Just only for the new engine management system IL2 COD is worth the money.
