One can see that people are moving on...

I doubt the development will be in business long enough to complete any Sequel unless the developers fix the game engine. That said if things continue to go badly, the investors could again force the development to release what they have completed for the Sequel, and then quietly shut the development down to atleast get a small portion of their investment back. BUT I'm sure the investors are not stupid enough to think many people will buy blindly this time.

If they release the sequel in the state Il2 CloD is now I'll buy it. Just not untill it hit's the Steam bargain bin at $9.95. I'm enjoying it in it's current form but could do without the crashes, stutters and dismall SLI performance. Why do RoF and DCS run like greased lightning without stressing (one!)my gtx 680 and Clod struggles along while the GPU goes all out? Almost hoping they somehow merge and get all the talent onboard with RoF. RoF: WWII edition. Don't get me wrong, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed hoping that they eventualy get it fixed and continue the series. Just not holding my breath anymore.

I'm half expecting another paid addon for 1946 somewhere down the track if things go very poorly for Maddox Games.

Maybe they should hire the Daidalos Team to help out with CloD

I'm playing ARMA II at the moment and what amazes me is the speed of the updates that come for their Beta patch, it's almost every day.

Anyway I've done my part supporting CLOD. I bought it, I played it but I don't enjoy it in it's current form. Good luck to them.

Well .... quite bad example you chose for the comparison ... ArmA 2 is the second game worst optimized ever in the history of the games (the first one was "Armed Assault" lol). Even now, with 3 expansions, a lot of patches, the game still doesn´t run smooth and is full with all kind of bugs (plenty of them solved by the community).

No, IL-2: Cliffs Of Dover deserves this title...

What needs to be said has been said countless number of times so I guess the forum will be a bit quiet. I have been enjoying and rediscovering IL1946 while waiting for the official update to be finished but still enjoy the occaisional sortie on ATAG.....best of both worlds.

Somewhere between CLOD and IL946 is my perfect Combat Sim but both have a special appeal of their own. Its nice to jump into something different and takes the impatience out of waiting for CloD to go the next level.

I just hope the next official update resolves many of the long standing issues, if it doesn't then I think some of CloDs' loyal support will drift away.

Plays smooth as sink for me 60 fps with everything on highest level AA AF etc and at 2550x1440 resolution net code is being worked on.

My point is that I supported CLOD and I will probably buy BOM but I'm not enjoying playing CLOD in it's current form especially the lack of coops. I wish them all the luck but I'm not playing it at the moment and probably wont until the next patch. Even then I would expect I'll pop on to see what's changed but I doubt it will have the improvements I need to enjoy it.

With regards to ARMA they have a beta out at the moment and I am not kidding...literally every day there is a new one with more fixes and features. Isn't that amazing? Every day!

[1.JaVA_Sharp]

you know that there are plenty of other games and flightsims out there to try?

I've spend time in

ROF
DCS P51
Arma2
Iron Front
That free Wing Commander game.

And I've enjoyed them all. Wish I could say the same about CLOD, but I can't. I'm waiting to see if it will grow on me but in the meantime there's a lot more games and sims to play out there.
