So how is this game?

Cliffs of Dover hasn't gotten there yet. It's been out for just over a year, had several patches, plus currently an alpha patch that many of us are evaluating as I type this.

Obviously, I don't know you, nor do I know your expectations. You've chosen not to post your system specs -- fair enough, but it's an important consideration in that CoD is very demanding on a PC's resources.

I've flown many hundreds of hours online (according to Steam, anyway -- about 2 hrs/night) and certainly find it challenging, at times frustrating, sometimes hugely rewarding, and always fun. But you get back from it what you put into it. I could elaborate further, but there's no point.

If you are currently flying -- and enjoying -- 1946 then I would strongly recommend you stay with it for the foreseeable future. I honestly believe you will find CoD hugely disappointing in its current unfinished state (hence Doc's facetious, but wise, comment above). I sincerely believe that Cliffs of Dover will be THE WW2 combat flight sim to fly. We're still a long way from that point right now.
