Graphical aspect preference ROF vs COD and other stuff

[startrekmike]

I would like every sim to have the graphical beauty of CloD or even DCS A-10C but that is simply not a option for every company.

In terms of pure playability, I would choose ROF every time, the menu's work properly (I can actually choose options in quick battle as opposed to porting them over to the editor, altering them so that I have useful loadouts and to try and get the AI to not spiral into the channel), the framerate is very consistent at high settings and online games tend to run very stable.

I see this thread has starting going in to the realism aspect, I also notice that some seem to think that ROF is not as realistic as CloD, to me, that is a pretty silly thing to say, while ROF does not have the nice clickable cockpits, that does not mean that it does not have a superior flight and physics model (the planes in CloD feel a bit dead compared to ROF aircraft, like they are not travelling in air).

I suppose it all comes down to personal taste in the end, I love both titles but I think that ROF is not nearly as graphically inferior or as arcade as some on this forum would like us all to think.

Both are good in different ways, I tend to stick to ROF because it always works properly but I play CloD because it is the only decent WWII sim out there even if the menu problems drive me crazy.

Anyway, this thread topic is a pretty loaded question, not sure what kind of response anyone was expecting.
