There isnt any other WWII sims in the works that I know of, there is a couple of WWII fighter MMO's one is a little more simish than the other... they are what they are, I will probably have both installed when they are released for some mindless fun, but when I want to fly a WWII sim I will be back in the cockpit of COD.

most probably.. Warthunder.. which is also way better than IL2CoD in almost every aspect excepting realism/flight model and cockpit interiors, which is better in CoD.

kind of a small trade in exchange for having a real feeling of flying in a real war, not in a deserted Europe sky.. I've learned more about energy states and situation awareness in the few beta days I've played than in all the months after IL2CoD release

and.. competition is the mother of progress

Lol dear oh dear... reminds me of Modern Warfare vs Arma 2 I know which is "real" and it's not the former. Just because you are in a small map and forced into a quick battle doesn't make it in anyway realistic, flying around in a group and stumbling into an enemy group or via radar... Now that's a "real" ww2 flight sim.. I CANNOT wait for a good rolling front online campaign

Working on it for BoM. The current map is pretty lousy for rolling-front online wars.

For someone who plays farmville the whole day long and likes even dog poop more than CloD you spend good amount of time on these forums.

In case you did not notice before: in your browser you're actually able to visit other URL's than the 1c CloD forums.



As for one of the other games, the one without thunder. I played it when the beta started and I was surprised how crappy flying can be. For them it's not about flying - it's about making money and selling simple arcade shooters with a unique setting. On top of everything it's not even about skills - it's only about money and grind time invested.
If you want a great duel, aim, awareness and tactics battle go for quake, unreal, quakelive or whatever. But wait, most people don't even come close to the skills required and rather invest in gold ammo and premium accounts just to be able to play with friends and get an xp boost.


As for the games themselves - I'm not even sure if it's worth to talk about them at all. They're not what we like - rather they're something completely unrelated to simming or flying. There are worlds between the games and in some aspects they're better, equal or worse. It's more a matter of taste. Sadly the dumbed down gameplay these days affects the sim community a lot. Everyone is expected to abide by the rules of "even monkeys need to be able to play it" - provide mouse or gamepad support. Joysticks? Real aircraft controls? What monkey can't handle isn't necessary anymore.
