Poll: Why I will be supporting CLIFFS OF DOVER and why you should too

[Azimech]

After 29 years of gaming/flying IL2 1946 has been the only title for a few years now, after having played hundreds of titles. I totally fell in love with IL2 back in 2002 and my love has never waned.

I will support CoD and I will keep doing so for it's entire life span.

I watched the forums lately and i just laugh, soo many crying babies.
I really think some people on this forum should really just take it easy.
As soon as i heard it was available for pre-order on steam, i bought it, without hesitation.

People here seem to forget, that patches can fix a hefty amount of a game.

I would've just wished for a collector's edition, oh well.

Perhaps it's exams coming up that's making me think about other things then some epilepsy filter.

I understand that a lot of people here are canceling their pre orders after reading and watching all the problems with the sim, but I dont know why would anyone pre order a digital download copy if it wasnt to support the devs.So if you want to support but cant play the game as it is right now,just step back for 2-3 weeks or maybe a month and come back and see how things have developed.All this complaining wont help the team solve the current issues.Just remember how was ROF when it came out, I couldnt get more than 30 fps on high end machine (back then).Now I can max it out without problems and I surely enjoy it.We need to RELAX!

I pre-ordered CoD on the strength of previous Il-2 releases. When I read yesterday that it could be bought via YuPlay I had no hesitation in spending a bit of extra money to play the game a bit early. Well, having spent a few hours with it, the sorry state of CoD has burned right through that goodwill and has thoroughly undermined my belief in Maddox Games' as a developer. They can keep my money this time but they have lost all credibility in my eyes and I will never again pre-order or purchase one of their titles sight unseen.

You have clearly not witnessed the beginning of many flight sims...
I have. I think the COD start is still fairly ok compared to other titles I have witnessed. Many are classics today, like ROF, FS series, BoB WOV, etc. Give it some months.

Hi,

I voted yes. But let me point out that also Gaijin has a new sim in the works. This genre can use every drop of lifeblood, and competition is always good for us, the consumers.

Really? What's it called? Is there any info anywhere? Is it going to be an actual sim or just like a WoP sequel?

Great thread!

On the contrary, I have been playing flight sims since Digital Integration's Fighter Pilot in the mid 1980s. This release is the shoddiest I have ever seen.
