Major considerations - realistic Flight and damage modeling, competent AI, programmable mission builder tool are just some of the basic critical requirements.

I suspect none of the above are properly applied in this game.

But you can probably use your console and console controller to play it, which will be attractive to some users.

Yes, it has nice graphics and the water looks excellent.

LOL, I would'nt be bragin on CLOD especially for competent AI, it's the worst I've ever seen in a flight sim. How does yours work for you?

Much better now...

If you'd like to experiment with the AI in CloD there are ways of making the AI planes behave better, but it's not perfect yet. Feel free to experiment with the skill values and post the results and I will incorporate it into the next version of the AI utility.

I like Gaijin games too (I own WoP and Apache), but I suspect Nearmiss' assessment was not that far off of the truth...

Still waiting on the promised mission builder for WoP.

I still do the IL2 with MODs, and BOB II WOV. I run the COD occasionally, but my system just doesn't work well enough to enjoy it.

I would love for a final on COD, then I can scrap this not so current computer. As it is, I have delayed to upgrade my system while waiting... like so many others are doing.

The best AI performance has been achieved in the BOB II WOV. It lacks a current graphics environment and mission builder, but if you want an excellent flying experience it is the foremost AI achievement I've experienced.

You hit the nail on the head, because I enjoy the offline experience and misison building. Never cared much for a constant diet of furrballs.
