The bombers dogfight and collide like idiots. The power of their defence was a formation and they flew relatively steady. I can go fly in the middle of them without fear of getting even half seriously damaged. I flew under a bomber Do17Z at about 5m below the gunner and he MISSED! Shot his bullets to the sky as he tracked another plane, not mine.
The list of AI goes on. I just call it Appalling Idiocy as it is now. I like CoD, but as for now it is a test bed for patches. Not gonna go online before issues have been tackled. Remaining hopeful, but I think the US release will be the point where we can see what is gonna happen. A few weeks to go and really hope Luthier's gang will get it patched up before that.

Totally agree with you here. The AI is nothing short of a joke and the biggest immersion killer IMO. ME109s rolling faster than an F16. Friendly AI queing up and stealing kills. Enemy planes not bothering to evade when you pump bursts of fire into them repeatedly plus all of the above.
My biggest concern is that as others have mentioned, and that is that Clod will be abandoned by the devs once the USA version has been released. It needs a lot of work and some pretty huge patches to make the sim playable and more immersive. I hope we get that as there's lots to like about Clod already and I've spent many hours on it even in the broken state it is clearly in, but with so much potential it would be a real shame to see it fail.
