Its a bit like the wife really, I don't play with it much any more but I don't have the heart to get rid of it.

I can see a lot of people who have uninstalled it having to put it back on if CoD isn't fixed. There is only so much spinning round in a 109 or Hurri that you can do. IL2 has the benefit of years of development behind it and all the diversity that comes with that.

For online its RoF for me but thats mainly down to my squad. We don't fly CoD, its either RoF or IL2.

ROTFL!


As you say, as well as the obvious performance/ bug fixes, COD definitely needs more content, Maps planes, land/sea objects and vehicles.

Hey! Maybe we can convince them to make a Eastern Front sim! That would be cool!

It all changes when you get to play missions. When tactics and big formations come into play, things become all the more interesting. A Hurri can cause carnage among both 109 and Ju88/87, it just needs its historical background, like starting at altitude, being guided by radar, having Spitfire squads patrolling the sky nearby. Just like the Me110 which is quite sluggish, but can be used to staggering effects once it is placed in the right circumstances.

CloD just doesn`t have MP functionality. Get me 5 types of patrolling/escorting/bomber busting missions over the La Manche and I`ll fly them 100 times just like I did over Smolensk.

Honestly, While I own both, I flew IL-2 COD for about a week after it was first released. Loved the graphics, couldn't stand the lack of a dynamic campaign. I haven't flown it since. 3 months later I uninstalled it from my computer and while I keep touch with where the game is currently, I"m probably not going to give it another shot till there is some kind of Dynamic Campaign.

My squad and I fly a DCG co-op campaign in IL-2 1946, modded with the Ultra Pack 2.01, and are looking to possibly transition to Dark Blue World soonish. The important thing to me is a customizable dynamic campaign. When I can get that in IL-2 COD, I'll look to have us make the move to that, and probably not before.
