but like I write - just flying that Moth over the channel proves to me that this game is a 9.0 when they just fix the major bugs...

After posting earlier on the state of this sim, I went and fired up a single player mission, set friendlies to 4, enemies to 4, video to med. I, like you, just got a taste of what is under the hood with this sim. The sea looked sensational, the cockpit canopy frosted over as I flew through the light/dark puffy clouds (Brrrrrrr, its cold out there), couldnt hit jack with my Hurri (hmmmmmm, those internal sounds...need some work there) but thats my forgetting a lot of what I had learned in IL2. Yes. Its all true, there is a wealth of potential in there. Fingers crossed.

I wonder how many users here get that reference.

Hated that thing, half the time couldn't make out the codes at all...

I don't regret buying this unfinished game, but for sure this "review" is the epitome of fanboyism.

You have made less than 20 postings, and you call names.

There are many of us who have been with Il2 since 2001. We know Oleg, Luthier and what they will do for this community.

The game isn't unfinished, maybe it doesn't work well with your system. You need to spend time on this forums reading and you will find there are plenty of people who are already enjoying the BOB COD. You might read something that will apply to your situation.

Patches are coming as well. This is not some gamer gamey kind of application, if you are looking for an easy learn and burn you should stick with console gaming. BOB COD is a sophisticated, complex application that will take many hours to learn. If you are NOT interested to really apply yourself to learn... you are probably wasting your time.

Yeah... every thread i see the "if you are looking for an easy learn and burn you should stick with console gaming. BOB COD is a sophisticated, complex application that will take many hours to learn."...

Maybe helps if i tell you that i play IL-2, ROF, OFF, FreeFalcon, DCS Black Shark and A-10... My rig is powerful enought to run all these games on max, 1920x1080 4xAA, and don't tell me of "under the hood calculations". If you think this game isn't unfinished, sorry, you are a unconscious fanboy.

The game will get better sure, like i said, i don't regret buying this unfinished game (i read the forums before buying it), but i will not judge it based on a possible future, i had to RMA my crystal ball...

Obviously, we should dismiss your remarks because you are just full of cheese and can't say anything nice about others or the BOB. You just need to write your own reviews and post them. It is darned easy to nitpick someone else when your own contributions are nil.

Chivas

I have given away many copies of Il2 and Il2 1946. I have found our genre game "PC air combat simulation" just isn't for everyone.

I recently made a real effort to find a IL2 1946 at the urging of my friend.
My friend anxiously installed it and stayed with it all of two days. He immediately wanted more aircraft, etc. I referred him to the TD upgrades, but it was too much trouble for him to mess with "all that".

IMO, it is probably best to tell people where to find it and leave them alone. If they are interested to take the time to learn and enjoy it good for them.

It just isn't a gamer type game.

I remember when I was into scuba diving. I introduced my friends to it by simple snorkeling first. Not one of the lot ever went any further. Learning dive tables or using dive computers, and the basic techie things just wasn't something they wanted to do. Yet, there are still millions of people that love to scuba.

Oleg will sell alot of copies to people who never do a darn thing with it, but admire the "stuff" for a few days. Don't care how much you talk it up, if they aren't into it... it won't make any difference.

Oleg has made his bid to our genre of player, and done the best job he can do. Those of us who are into it... will love it, and appreciate all his efforts for a very long time.

This is a bit of a side discussion, but IMO whenever sim people post stuff like "this is a real sim so if you just want to shoot stuff stay with your call of duty kiddyfest" it's a huge turnoff to a potential customer reading your review/post whatever. If your goal is to entice people to play the game it's completely counterproductive.

I play a lot of sims so I see it alot. It happens frequently in the ww2ol community. Often people are trying to be helpful but to a new player it just comes across as smug and superior and cliquish.
