Graphical aspect preference ROF vs COD and other stuff
 

In terms of graphical aspect, which one do you prefer ? ROF or COD ?

Theres no contest. RoF is a game for 2010, CoD is a sim for 2012 and beyond (or it was)
Anyone mention cockpit shadows (or God forbid, cockpit damage...)
I still play both, one when I need a quick arcade shoot em up experience, the other when I want to experience a flight sim.

I JUST INSTALL ROF - only just curious
Then I go to play offline,

I rise up the ROF deafault graphics a bit, and do some clicks
I know the limitations of a NVIDIA 560 Ti
No Antialiasing
Aniso only x4
Only 4 Light sources
Other settings High or ON....But not at maximun

ROF RUNS WORSE THAN CLOD!!!! ( less fps) AND LOOKS WORSE !!!

I get 32 FPS ... 19 over the trees


My system

Win 7 64bit

AMD PhenomII 965 BE @ 3.8 GHZ

Ram 8 Gigas

Graphics Card NVIDIA 560 TI 1 GB 1600x900 , Drivers updated !!!


ROF GIVE LEES FPS THAN CLOD.

I CANT UNDERSTAND I PLAY MANY GAMES @ FULL .

Some settings in ROF, Kill my PC.
Where this optimization??? if I must put the graphics in medium.



:confused:

I found RoF to be very optimizable with the many diverse graphic options available.

I like some aspects of the graphics in RoF and the camera, and for me, the dynamic 3d damage model is steps ahead of CoD imo, which kept too many legacy features of 1946, there are so many things I hate about the 3d, visual damage model in IL-2.

Overall however, graphics in CoD > RoF.

Turn off super sampling and dither vegetation... ;)

IMO there is no doubt. CloD have much better graphics. Besides that for me the FM looks better, plus the the DM which is more complex and realistic.

Can I hedge my bet a little? RoF isn't bad...in fact it is fine , its just that CloD is better...who knows what Studio 777 will come up with for BoS ? Working with a snowy landscape may offer all kinds of improvement possibilities...

The new team won't get any good feedback from the CLOD crowd unless they
do something drastic to the graphic aspect for the next Sturmovik. Maybe they are planning to do so, but Jason is very careful about revealing his future plans...He knows the story here...Very edgy clientèle....Don't flame me, but you should take a look at the new upgrade WT has done today...Still in BETA, but in 2 years from now, even if this game is not "totally hardcore" , it will be the new graphic standard for sure in WWII sim/game....It has already surpassed CLOD by a good stretch at this point....
So to hold its ground, BOS will have to look at least 2012....in 2014....

SAlute !

I didn't vote in the above poll as personally I like certain aspects from each game.

For COD - the lighting and sky (way ahead here),

the cockpits,

the clouds (limited variety and no weather variation to speak of but the basic appearance is better for me in COD),

the sea/water (though awaiting ROF's revamped water coming with the new Channel map)

For ROF - the land terrain (personal opinion - I just could never warm to COD's terrain mainly because of the colour balance and the haphazard trees. IT's a strange one - I recognise COD's technical superiority but my gut just screams NO...! ROF isn't perfect, but it just sits with me better, but then I prefer some of the il-2 maps to COD as well!),

AA - makes a difference (at least on my 1680x1050 screen)

The view control system - very nice, easily controlled and functional.

Weather - flying through a rain storm in ROF with the water pouring off your goggles. Also flying through heavy cloud formations - sometimes spectacular looking in ROF.



I think it's pretty much a tie on smoke and flame effects and explosions.

I guess Clod wins :)
