Always on your six... in a flat spin

ATM I fly regular sorties with the fanboy's public enemy No1 and 2, or Tree and Furbs as 90% of the members (I.e. The non fanboy population) here know them as .

lol, it is good flying with you mate, though we all have our frustrations!! And it goes to show that when people talk we soon realise we all have the one thing in common, we are flight sim geeks!!

I would rather have a Spitfire on my 6 than you flying escort Krupi, I would feel safer...

Right before I joined up they remade their website and forums to reflect CoD rather than IL2, and there was much anticipation and high hopes for it.
Then reality struck and given the condition of the game at release and that it persists in that condition we have not switched over.
Honestly in talking to everyone I can over there (we have over 50 active members) most have given up on CoD. Most have just written it off due to its condition, and then compared to UP3 its just a no brainier. We play a very long campaign spanning the entirety of the war and CoD cant support that.
There are still a few that are die-hard CoD believers but for the most part people have told me that they hope we don't switch over. I know of more than a few that will simply leave the group if we switch.

The shame is that it seems that the producers didn't understand that the life of the game is wired with the organized wings.
They understood that is very important modder's world, but from the development actions it seems that they didn't follow up the reasoning: the modders are linked in most of cases with squadrons and squadrons need the multiplayer.
The shame is that in CoD the multiplayer is really undeveloped and not organized clearly (starting from coop to the game interface trough all the rest).
The squadrons moreover are like magnets for the newbies, helping and teaching how to fly. We still are doing that on Il2 with alot of peoples and still nobody came to see anything about CoD.
At the end the big problem is that you cannot put on the market a new simulator saying that it has new engine management and there are big bugs on that, saying that there is a good new graphic engine and you cannot put the trees, saying that there is massive multiplayer with 128 people and not even put the coop or let the players able to switch plane just before to be killed...
The people leave the game, start to move the attention to different ones and you loose what is obviouslly called "launch" of the game and not "brake".
I'm sure that someone here will say that it is complaining, but really it is only what i think, and I am very sad for that, with all of my wing friends (we think all that, and I am one of the few that still care to come here to see the news..)

I think a mass depression set in when it was released,so most of us are not even flying il2 now,and we were very involved in online wars,USL etc.

56RAF are in exactly the same boat. Only a couple of us flying CoD atm while the rest have gone off to RoF until CoD is playable on line and there are servers up with objective based missions. In IL-2 we always liked to tackle the mission and win the map if possible but having experienced the CoD possibilities we don't feel we can go back to IL-2 now.

Actually I am flying RoF on Squad nights and CoD any other time I am on. RoF doesn't really do it for me but I can at least fly with my buddies. I think they will move back once the main bugs are fixed. If not I'll have to look at rebuilding the Squad in CoD.

Meanwhile I have been linking up with one or two other guys on SYNDICATE and Repka CoD servers.
