That doesn't apply to me. I think the devs are the holders of the holy grail of truth. If they want to fix it, it will be fixed. If they don't, you need to accept that it's a "feature" and not a bug.

A feature?! Seriously, you view obvious defects as features? So i'm assuming that if a patient has cancer or another type of disease or injury that you view this as a feature? The analogy may be extreme, but it's largely in-fitting.

It's posts like these which cause heated discussions, because they lack so much logic it's almost incomprehensible. If a feature of the game (let's call it a feature-feature for your sake) was working, but then was broken in a following patch, is that then a broken feature, or just a feature? Clearly the former, and clearly also a bug.
Not everything can be fixed; most types of cancer are an example, however there is a timeframe in which the issue can be alleviated and brought back up to standard. This is possible in CloD, but if every customer was able to hide a broken mess of a game (for example) behind a facade of quirky features, then the devs would have no reason to improve the game. You really are every bored-developers wet dream, aren't you?!

I've met many people in the il2 community over the years,from many different countries. Oleg Maddox and Ilya Shevchenko (Luthier), quite a few JG52, Danger dogz, various EAF members.
Never felt the need for a punch up when meeting them face to face

Forums bring out the worst in people, and trolls,who would never dream of meeting you in real life, or even speaking to you on comms, have a perfect arena to play in.
Personally I'm going to stop asking and start waiting.If it works out,great. If it doesn't I shall just drift away.

Wise words, and a wise attitude when it comes to things like these

if you are able to look back in the threads for a few months, you would see that there were quite a few "Bug" - reports that called out unrecognized features!
