Well, we should not light up torches and all as we for sure do not know what happened behind the scenes when IL-2 CoD was developed. Something happened and resulted most likely to this what we have now, but Luthier and his team have done a lot of work to improve what they got in their hands. Sure the game should have been all this and that from release, but at least we know for sure Luthier is changing things to the right direction aka new GFX engine, new sounds etc. That is what matters..there are not many WW2 sims coming out these days anyway and I hope IL-2 series will prevail as I for sure want to fly other theatres too
