When I was posting about this after the last beta, people were making fun of me. The game was incredibly dombed down when it comes to looks. Go install the first beta for this patch and try it out. It's amazing how much we lost with this new graphics, yet people sait it looks better because it now has haze.

The problem is that this newer engine runs worse than before and it can't render none of the things that made te original release beautiful.
Now instead of the nice advanced lighting effects, we got just some cheap HDR.

This game did look stuning. They made it look exactly like the old IL2. This is not what i would call optimising a game. More like destroying it.
