CoD, like any other combat flight sim early in development had/has and will continue to have bugs as well as needed optimizations.

Now for the combat flight sim history lesson...

Il2 in 2001 did not have contemporary hardware at the time that was able to max the sim and il2 circa 2001 sported fps in the 20s on a $2k pc at release.

That’s because it was designed with future hardware in mind (sound familiar?).

What was different for Il2 in 2001 was a direct competitor with huge pockets that it obviously was superior to (Microsoft’s cfs2/ and later cfs3)

What Il2 had in 2001 was a bucket full of bugs and potential, what it did not have was a "IL2 is broke fan club"

At least we know for certain why they are so hot to implement DX9.
I doubt that the sort of people who were making this decision would have given any thought to the 40-50 vitriol fuelled regulars here. If they wanted some real market research they'd more likely approach the three million odd WoT players and ask them if they'd like an Il-2 MMO...

Anyway, all their plans will need to hinge on them fixing the Clod engine and optimizing the crap out of it.
