Despite my better judgement, I went ahead and got it through steam. I am a long term fanboi of IL2. When that came out, I felt it was a quantum leap from what had gone before. That is not the case with IL2COD. I dont want to throw petrol on some of the flaming that has been going on. However, some of those doing the complaining have some very valid points. I was sitting on the fence, taking a wait and see, the glass is half full approach, the developers know their business, they will support it going forward, we need developers for flight sims, etc etc etc. My first impressions have left me cold. Gee the sea looks nice. And thats about it. I am not going to complain about FPS, its been said before, you know all the stuff. I just did not get any sense of flying these iconic aircraft. I get that in IL2 4.10. I will be semi retiring from IL2 COD. It'll stay on my hard drive and I will periodically check in. If and when its "ready" (note I did not say finished, no such beast in software) If you are sitting on the fence. Stay there. Dont take the middle ground. You'll just be hit from both sides! Let it go. I wish the developers well, but I have to say, we can only speculate as to whats really under the hood with this sim. And why it was released in the state it is in.
