ROF, Black Shark, Warthog and any other new and complex sim CAN RUN on much slower systems than mine on med to high settings...Is that a case with CLOD? ARMA2 I can run all maxed out and this game is hardware killer....With release I had a slideshow in CLOD...
Yes, release slideshow. It`s long after release and it is not slideshow. I don`t think that CloD is anything like the other sims. It is meant for future hardware and as is, it presents RELATIVELY bad performance so it doesn`t surprise me. Your video card is not the best either. If you have only 1GB of Vram it may not nearly be enough. It is still your opinion, because there is big difference in how different ppl see CloD working. I`m fully satisfied given that I have lower end hardware. And the landscape doesn`t come as nearly as ugly as you say it is. It`s good for me. ROF and WOP are better, I agree, but CloD doesn`t exactly leave a bad taste. It`s good.

so the bottom line is:
CLOD pros:
- nice cockpit graphics
- nice looking external models
- cool engine and MG sounds in cockpit
- FM and DM (although it still needs fine tuning)
CLOD cons:
- very very bad optimisation
- awfull external engine sounds (tbh to me it sounds like IL2 stock sounds)
- pretty bad landscape colors (should be less saturated, less bright and vivid, I was onboard prop planes and I know how it should be)
- bad implementation of AA on landscape
- one theatre, few planes, few dull maps = boring online dogfights/missions (ok that would change in the future)
Excellent cockpit graphics.
Excellent external models.
Ok sounds in cockpit.
Better FM and the best DM ever in a video game.
Good optimisation (far better than thet of IL2)
External sounds....I fly full real so I don`t hear`em.
Good landscape colors.
AA I don`t know.
Theatre of operations .... you surely got here late with that. It`s been criticised like from 2006 when we first heard it was BoB. The more important thing is that we have it covered - fighters but bombers aswell, refueling and rearming, radar technology, sea battles and pilot career. We`re getting there through consistency which 1C shows clearly.

So maybe you should take notice. It is your opinion and certainly not a fact. YOU find it unplayable or whatnot. I and many others are enjoying this sim, which will be better every month.
