Continuing with CLoD

[jcenzano]

with no capability to be improved or new content to be added, IMHO it is pretty much sentenced to death.

too bad, it lokked promising

CLOD is great but it still has bugs, how can one create scenarios when AI aircraft keep barrell-rolling into the terrain ???

Do you know how stupid a sim looks when a defiant, being attacked from 6 high (????) decides to barrell-roll continuously until it hits the terrain !! ... even retard-reg would have spotted this bug. This is quite strange because the CLOD engine gives the player so many options for pilot / gunners etc.

A cow, when dead, still exists, and has more uses than when she was alive. CloD is dead and its carcass will be enjoyed by many for years to come.

sounds like something eric cantona would say, but i agree. theres another 1000 hours online cod for me.

The game was dead after release, whats the most amount of people you have seen playing online compared to old il2FB?

No easy coop setups meant no online wars, poor netcode etc on top of all the other issues killed the game, Luthier was told but he failed to listen.

More than the game was killed, and that did not need to happen

Errr we did have online historical wars!

And the online numbers of ROF and COD are very similar

Yes but participation was indeed low because of issues that would have been resolved over time...we needed to be even more patient and wait, all the while supporting the devs. Had we foreseen what was to happen, I wonder even if that knowledge would have saved MG. Human nature is I think to complain, I wonder how many would turn back the clock if they could.

I have yet to experience even one AI barrel role...do you recall what skill setting you used?

Agreed, the AI frequently ends up as a lawn dart when dog fighting at low levels. The devs opinion was that the AI was perfectly ok. To me this is just another indication of how much CloD was geared towards multi-player. I'm hoping BOS doesn't go the same way.

I'll still be playing CloD for a long time yet, but only because of the add ons that Desastersoft and Heinkill have turned out. Without these the single player would still be a joke.
