Yes it is..and from all accounts was a POS when it first arrived with us, lets not even talk about RoF..

Back on track..

These are your thoughts mate and your welcomed to them what im saying is that just because YOU wont play it, dont enjoy it or have no faith in it doesnt mean a new pilot joining us wont..

there are lots of pilots who purchase this game and love it since day one even in its current form..NO one knows and NO ONE will EVERRR know why it was released and know it to be 100% correct so thats the way it is..we have to live with it

Its really not a FACT that Il2 is better than ClOD or the other way round..WE as in Me and You can presume and have our opinions thats it..

Il2 looks and feels old..Imo hence why I cant go back and play it, blowing nearly every aircraft into tiny pieces with cannon doesnt really do it for me..if its content that rocks your boat then be my guest too

I have one map, pretty much 1 plane i fly and still would take that over an OLD feeling game like Il2 whatever its content and stabilty..

Ive been here moaning and bitching just like everyone else but you know what..?

And as youve already stated...Its Boring, will always be Boring

Its quite simple, each to their own, and that way it will stay but dont presume everyone feels and has the same opinion as you

Just look at how many IL2 players are on HL and instead how many are playing at CloD... and that's is only for the online. That's a fact

And of course most of my opinions are shared by my squad mates. Damn... I know many virtual squads in Italy and our friends share this opinion too (or they think the worst)!!!

I know that CloD could became the most awesome flight sim ever: the problem is that it's not there yet, and it's far from that target. Nobody here is hoping they fail.
Some day ago I opened a thread on our board about my positive feeling flying in CloD: the DM detail, the CEM ect. ... but still nobody want to fly it, and are hoping for the next patch to change their mind.

In all honesty, I think the point of the whole article can be found here:

"5. Don’t send out press review copies. Nothing sets a negative feeling toward reviewing a game like telling the gaming press that they can[sic.] have a copy of the game four months after the original release."

Maybe this guy is as bitter as the nay-sayers on this board because he had to shell out cash to review this game instead of being sent a freebie? I don't imagine the contributors of SimHQ get paid very well, if at all. And with the lack of actual "review" in the article, I think he didn't actually have the cash to buy the game, and could only write based off threads on forums....

I think you raise a very valid point there Cheese.

It's very common practice -unfortunately- for game publishers to send out review copies after the release of a game if they know that the game is total shite themselves. Don't be so naive.
