Friday Update - December 9, 2011

I still find it amusing to see people get indignant about how their game is unplayable, when their Sig describes a rig better than mine and make assumptions on what the developers are doing based on a few short sentences. I have no doubt that they are doing the best they can, and saying very little on purpose. The Peanut Gallery is a vicious mob.
my game is very playable...

I think the reason it seems like there are so many having problems here is simple human nature

People who have problems go looking for answers.. Which in turn brings them here

People who are having no problems are off enjoying the game.. Which in turn may or may not bring them here

Thus the amout of people with problems gets skeued/filtered to make it seem worse than it really is

I'm happy with this update, because it gives me the feeling that the Devs really are listening and care. Blacksix seems open and honest in what he tells us. No sugar coating or spin, we get the good with the bad.

I'm a little disappointed that some features won't come until the sequel, but I can handle it. I don't understand what the "Battle of Moscow" would be about, though. The Germans never got to Moscow. Maybe more info is required, there.

Overall, my version of CoD is working, and I am having a good time. As improvements are made, my "well factor" will undoubtedly rise.

Binky9, just google "Battle of Moscow", you will read about the more bloody battle of human history, maybe second only to Stalingrad.

Do I interpret the answers correctly that the advertized patch aiming to fix many gfx problems and and was due in a few weeks, now is .. cancelled? or at least postponed to this "sequel"?

No, the patch will be released as soon as they get it all working.

Also, concerning the sequel, I'm CERTAIN that Luthier mentioned in a response months ago that it would work both as a standalone game OR a merged install for those already running COD. (with the implicit conclusion that, as before in the il-2 series, newly developed or unlocked elements of the game engine would be usable in both titles)

OK, but this was a land battle, although I admit,with air support.

My point was that CoD is a flight sim. I guess the sequel will be more of a stand-alone sim with tanks, etc., rather than an add-on to CoD. Not so much an IL-2 CoD/Battle of Moscow, as IL-2 Battle of Moscow. I was wondering what those tanks in the CoD previews were for.

Does the CoD "Battle of France" campaign include land battles, or is it just the air part of the battle?

They got close.

And that is a valid argument, and not to say there aren't some problems because there are but the point is that a few words here or there doesn't immediately lead to the conclusion that many make in criticizing the developers for what they have actually said..

Agreed 100%
