What's currently stopping you ??

[Feathered_IV]

A good starter topic.
Currently I Alt-X my way out of the game and do not come back to it for the following:

Poor overall performance with visuals that are disproportionate to the strength of hardware required to run it.

Exceptionally poor AI voice acting

Flickering shadows

Exceptionally poor AI behavior

Badly implemented FM's that make CEM unrewarding

Unpleasant global colour palette

Ugly GUI with irritating splash screens

Insufficient ships to represent the convoy phase of the battle

Insufficient resource management to represent anything more than skirmishes (come back in ten years for Adler Tag)

I'm waiting for it to get out of beta, simple as that.

There are too many problems, all of which we know, to list.

I miss "flying" but it's simply too frustrating, and I'm not going to muck about with all the manual beta installs.

Call me when the next official patch is released.

Pretty much this. Was expecting IL2:1946 with prettier visuals, less planes, more bells and whistles. What I got was a buggy mess, that has a sad excuse for single player, and features that dont work.

To add insult to injury instead of completing what people bought, they are already making a new game. Funny, and sad.

A modern era WWII sim game aint happening soon it seems.

The only thing stopping me is otw to me in the mail... an adaptor for my joystick when it arrives..... god help everyone*










* subject to who im up against, how much alcohol has been consumed.... an more than likely other things

-Poor AI: That don't use same physics as human. Strange bomber gunner behavior.

-Poor FMs and DMs: RAF planes that are neither fun to fight against or in. Far too slow, engines blowing up/overheating; Hurricane that can't turn to save it's life. Although much potential, DMs are screwed.

Bad framerates and strange display corruption I get with the occasional game including this one - I get green and/or black squares being rendered accross my monitors about 50% of the time I try to play the game... (resolution is 5040x1050 accross SLI'd 470's which I soon plan to update to 670's.)

For me its the following and in no particular order.

1. Floating ships online
2. Lack of ship models
3. Poor Fm's
4. Lack of aircraft damage sounds
5. Slow downs, dust particles/smoke and zooming in
6. Aircraft skins and weathering, kills immersion for me when I see the same rubbish skin on all 109's.
7. Netcode
8. Crap AI
9. Radio commands
10. Flickeing trees
11. Buiulding pop up, incredible that a game released in 2011 cannot get this sorted.
12. see bug list.

I was absolutely livid about this. I don't feel like the game has really even gotten that far into/or out of it's Beta period. Do half the radio commands still not work or am I stupid? In any case - I find it hard not to be disappointed that development of CoD may be coming to an end before it's really "there".

I remember when they said they'd fix SLI in a couple of weeks and there'd be new campaigns and so forth in the coming months (no sign of either). I hate that the planes don't work together with proper tactics from the time - which I feel should be a strong part of the mission flavour.. The campaign was really poor I thought.

If they'd have done a preorder/ paid alpha type setup, finished a couple of more study level plane simulations and the main game engine - and then followed up with strong DLC planes and campaigns.. I'd have been really into that. I feel like there's no point making missions right now in it's current state.

I'm just taken aback that this is the same people that made Il2 - and gave us so much over all that time. I'm sure they work hard - but ultimately perhaps there is just too much to do and fix - hence the mess - and actually marketing/ release approach - all of these things need to be changed to something like what ROF and DCS are doing in order to ever do this kind of game justice (sorry if this is heading off topic).

I think it's the lack of any real progress since release.
Performance problems aside, I was positive in the beginning that they would fix (replace) the user interface, well...

One of the features I used most in Il2/46 was probably the Quick Mission Builder, which is nowhere to be found in CLOD. Yes, there is a sort of alternative but the options are more limited, and again the UI is just..ugh.

Another thing is, I don't have quite so much spare time as I used to.

Same. I'll be back when the official patch is released. All my favorite servers use the latest beta and I can't fly online.
