I doubt that it will be as immersive for me as a finished new IL-2 series, but the new series may never be finished.


I am testing WT too and I agree with you. As it stands now, if CoD is finished and becomes the sim it was supposed to and WT stays as it is, then agreed CoD will be the better sim. However, WT is not finished either and it runs way better and looks pretty good already. Who's to say they won't work on the things you don't like before they release. Time will tell.

One things for sure, I can see already that WT will not be the software disaster that CoD was on release.


Yes, WT will be in a much more finished state when released. Whether they support it or not is another question. I was very disappointed with the support for WOP, after the release. There were some minor patches, but they never released the FMB, or addressed the main problem with WOP, which was was the size of the maps. You could say that WT is the support for WOP, much like IL-2's addons improved all editions before it. At first glance WT looks good, but I'm not sure yet if WT has addressed the main issues, but like you say time will tell. It would be great to have two decent WW2 sims feeding off the competition with each other.
