There is a fantastic damage model on the p-51 and the rest of the aircraft in that sim are done very well.

Excellent news....looking forward to it.

Yes the DM is actually pretty good in DCS.

No competition for CoD.

DCS P-51 is a fine time waster and nothing more.

I do wish CoD has its complexity. But other than that DCS P-51 is like a wall poster for me.

DM today is very disappointing if you expect it anything close to CoD because it isn't. Not at all.

That's absolutely correct. I have wasted many hours on the P-51D since it came out. It is no WW2 sim, but it is a very good P-51D sim. On the other hand CloD is no BoB sim either and I predict it never will be.

That being said, MG can forget about selling BoM to me before they have working radio coms, believeable AI, working bombing sights and an easy to use coop mode built in.

I support Adonys' request for weekly updates via torrents. Of course it will not happen, but I like the idea.

Question is: will you buy the sequel if it does have working radio coms, believeable AI, working bombing sights and an easy to use coop mode built in, plus a flyable FW-190, while CloD stays as broken as it is?

Well I'm going to buy BOM, I paid $50 for COD( I think,it was a while ago now ) and a few hundred hours later I still enjoy it a fair bit ( although not at the moment as I'm oversea's) , granted it's certainly far from perfect and having a decent rig helps to no end, but for what I've paid for it which is easily less then I'd spend in an hour on a night out on the town, I think I've gotten heaps of fun and entertainment out of it, definitely more then the 50 bucks worth paid I for it.

But then again I've always thought my cup was half full.

And you went out on a night out to know how much entertainment a man gets for a 50 quid

[skarden]

Oh yes, purely to compare value of course, and to make it accurate I went out for about 8 hours to get a proper average

Turns out 50 bucks n hour doesn't get ya a lot, now 200 bucks............

Easy answer is: yes.

I would, yep. Why? Simple: I treat each product on a per-product basis. I don't care what's happened in the past all that much, and have long since learned to live with buying the proverbial cat in the bag from time to time.

What matters to me when it comes to BoM is the reviews it gets after launch, and whether or not the concept of it is interesting enough. If it is, I'll buy it. If it gets slammed in reviews, I'll wait for 6 months and then see how things are.

For the many hundreds of hours -- according to Steam stats -- of entertainment that CoD has given me, the sim owes me nothing for the 50 bucks I paid for it. However, I'm not complacent with its current state since much is needed to be done to fix it right. Although the BoM front is not a personal preference, I will buy it when available even if it doesn't retroactively upgrade CoD. However, based on MG's track record with 1946, I'd give it a better than average chance that it will.
