I don't get it, what's wrong with criticizing when something is broken and then reward with praise when it's fixed? That's how it ALWAYS should be with every type of product even though IL-2 is a sim and sims are rare and therefor we have to support la-di-da-di-da....
I was there man! in the trenches (bluebyte forums) back in 2000/2001 rooting for Oleg and co. I must be one of the longest time followers of the IL-2 series but it doesn't turn me in to a blind follower. Luthier and co are doing a great job now, good contact with community and they are releasing patches that improves the game, if the game wasn't released in such a mess they wouldn't have to fix it in the first place.
Vengeanze, spot on! This is not Call of Duty, it will never sell 2 million copies day one even if the marketing campaign is awesome, why? it's a flight sim. IL-2 probably sold through good reviews+word of mouth advertising+arcade flyers moving up to something more challenging+it was a damn good game. It's a sleeper hit, hopefully CloD will follow the same path.
