The latest Beta seems to be a step in the right direction, but truth be told I have so many sims to fly beta and otherwise that run perfect that with even a successful community release the whole thing is just past being interesting. I agree with most posters here but since this latest beta I haven't been able to find a server that was populated where I could find even a friendly much less an enemy aircraft or target to find out if it burps and farts along with a sky full of targets, it runs fine in an offline attack but multiplayer just seems like a ghost town.
To have realistic missions online it's obvious that it needs atmosphere in the form of AI Bomber formations, Trains along the coast, shipping traffic, Radar contact and ranging, all the stuff that was talked about a long time ago that this game unfortunately isn't. I have played stuff that looks so good and plays so smooth it makes me wonder why the hell is COD so flawed and looks so washed out in comparison and considering Modded Il-2HSFX and what it looks like CoD is really disappointing.

[...]and considering Modded Il-2HSFX and what it looks like CoD is really disappointing. I think the same, I've been playing Il-2 DCG since I bought CoD (april 2011), downloading SAS Dark Blue World right now. CoD have better graphics and physics (at a disproportionate performance loss), but IL-2 1946 with mods have greater immersion.

Why is COD so unfinished...well...because its unfinished. IL-2 has had ten years of refinements after three or four years of development time. I enjoyed many years of the earlier 1l-2 series, but now prefer the more immersive engine management of COD when I do fly. Also doing some testing on WT. 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.

I'm pretty sure you could take over from BS at the banana bunch if you asked nicely I'm just not in the habit of kicking someone when they're down, you never know what they can achieve with a little help. Considering the years of priceless entertainment I enjoyed with the original series, its not a huge sacrifice for me pump them up while others are trying to drag them down. I see more potential in the new IL-2 series for what I would like to see in a WW2 aircombat sim that any other I've seen on the market. The developers haven't given up, the beancounters haven't given up, and I see no reason I should give up.

Not good at all, plus many other things to play and get on with. Shame really.. The reason I keep coming back is obvious.. I am still interested in the game, otherwise I'd have sacked it long ago. Just because I don't blow smoke up the arse of a game that has been in serious trouble from the day of it's release, doesn't mean I don't want it to be fixed, and I've said that many times in the past. I'll dish out negative comments as befits the occasion, and god knows this game has deserved it's share. at the same time, when things go right I'll come on and give my impressions on the plus side as well.. (as per the last patch). I still want that feeling that the old IL2 gave me day after day I fired it up, and I loved that game to death.. as soon as CLoD gives me that feeling back I'll be the first to cry to the heavens they have finaly nailed it!...

You joked that Chivas was being paid, so it seemed fair to ask you the same for what you provide here. Not so funny?

Honestly, I wouldn't expect news or a patch anytime soon, this latest version is stable enough, now the devs need to catch their breaths, and start researching FM/DM and all the gameplay issues. Finally they have a stable, if not quite as pretty version.

I believe the plan was and still is release a performance/stability official steam patch, and then move on to beta patches that concentrate on FM/DM/AI issues. It would be the most logical move as there must be quite a contingent of players who don't install the betas. I'm certain they wouldn't want these people to continue having performance issues while they worked on the FM etc.

Sound of tumbleweeds....
Another post on Sukhoi.ru from Blacksix to say he has nothing to post. Just some thoughts on Battle for Moscow or Stalingrad or whatever it is now...
Reminds me of Wings of Prey...couple of patches, a promise of a mission editor, then the devs moved on to War Thunder.

At this point perhaps it should be called "Battle for Credibility with Our Customers"?
I just want to know when I'll be able to fly MP in this like I could in Il-2 from day 1: coop with other humans against AI in a scripted mission.

The Jedi Master They lost that battle over a year ago.
I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

Yes, and I get that but of course what we have right now is pitiful and the communication with the Public, which they're not obligated to do, is something of a comedy routine now except the catch-phrase has gone from Two Weeks be Sure to I Have No Competency in This Area.
