If you release a bad game, why should you not suffer the consequances? IL2 CoD is a bad bad game. Released MONTHS before it was finished, and took way too long to develop. Why should jo-public pay to have it fixed?

The thing is, bad games are released all the time. Reviews can tank them, and should. Never reward a bad game, or it will encourage MORE bad games. Oleg and his team are NOT new to this flight sim gig. They have released 5? sims. Whats there excuse this time? Its not like they didnt know better. Its not like they didnt have enough time. So why was this game so amazingly bad at launch?

Also, your forgetting supply and demand. If IL2 CoD tanks, someone will move in to make a supply for the demand. Its happened over and over, and will happen again. SWOTL? Dynamix? Air Warrior? Janes? All have gone, with new comers to replace them. Im sure when the Air Warrior servers were shut down, similar cry's were heard of "support the team or we all dies!!!". But look what we have now? Someone saw a demand, and supplied it.

Just like any company, product, or whatever, I will buy it AFTER its finished, NOT before. If I buy a new car and its not working, I take it back. If I buy a new computer and its not working, I take it back. If I buy a new computer game, and its not working, why would I not take it back? If I know in advanced that something is not working as advertised, why should I buy it?

Gibbage, you should not buy the game. You also should not expect anyone in here to give a crap that you're not buying the game.

This title has all the problems that beset the Sub-sim Silent Hunter V. Again the publisher Ubisoft forced that title out before a lot of functions were completed, and I am afraid to say in doing so has now destroyed any chance of what was a great series ever continuing in the future.
The moding community has done a great deal to fix that game but at its core it has a broken campaign that I fear will never be fixed. And without that it will never get to reach its full potential. Yes we now have most functions working and mods that completely change and improve the user interface but the overall gameplay remain a shadow of its former self and COD's campaign will in all probability also remain a very poor example of what could have been.

Hell of a first post. You obviously don't know what this development team has done over the last 12 years, have you?

i think we should put this post to rest please

Given how we and the game have been treated. its coming together nicely. lets get on the positive tip please. nobody deserves any insults. what was is no longer. a mess to start with, and now a blossoming rose of sorts. a whole garden of them. The patches are rolling along nicely. its going to get better by the week. I plan on just only presenting praise for the project in future simply because it really deserves praise now its actually functional with some quibles.

Suggest we all at the very least try similar.

Realise how great this actually is. Ok so the game isnt complete. We get the opportunity to watch it grow and provide feedback. thats just great imo. i look forward to the coming months with baited breath at just what goodies may be in store for us. woohoo !

Extremely very good post indeed Mr. AliFish.

I now have it working superbly with all graphics features maxed out.

It's awesome, lke the dictionary definition. It fills me with awe.

It can only get better from here.

Has anyone looked at YouTube and seen all the videos made of this sim in the last few days?
I think the devs read threads like this and .

This is a good sim and its getting better.

There are thing happening in this sim that has never happened in flight sims before.

Just the detail to do this sim, with a small group working on CoD would take years.

Just set back and enjoy the sim.
