I too thought i'll be splitting my time between CoD and IL2 but i was wrong. After flying CoD, IL2 feels like a toy to me and that's saying something when the "toy" was not really a toy but a highly realistic combat sim. It's not that IL2 was bad, it was excellent, it's just that CoD feels so much better in some aspects that i just can't go back. I haven't even started IL2 ever since i got CoD, not once, and i stopped following its progress altogether: i still pop in the forum here regularly to check on what's new but i don't install new patches or mod packs anymore.
I might take a look at radars and night fighters when TD releases that, but the added complexities of CoD in terms of each aircraft's systems are so beyond the IL2 engine that after experiencing them IL2 feels artificial and "gamey".

I feel absolutely, 100% the exact same way.
IL2 is still incredible, but after the tasting the depth of CoD, I can't go back. I just can't do it... The fidelity of the aircraft (and the environment) is an order of magnitude above the original. It's not just a little better, it's like night and day. It is the next evolution of IL2, and is the sim I will be dedicating my free time to from here on out.
