It seems to me the game is in the process of being rewritten from the ground up, buying a rig for a game that isn't really done yet seems a bad idea to me. I suppose I should buy CoD to support the dev team, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I would really like to have my new machine first...

Fair enough. Just don`t come here flaming the devs when it turns out your new $2000 pc isn`t up to the task.

I think the East Front is where the dev teams heart lies, and I can't blame them. Also, as a theatre of war it is much more suited to a combat sim than the Western front and particularly the Pacific Front. When BoM finally comes out, I think it will be fairly polished, just like IL2FB was. By then, CoD will be playable too. So yeah, I'll buy BoM, even if it's only to give the old Hurribuss a spin.

The PTO, even if from a time perspective was done pretty well, it proved to be a bad concept for a video game. The planes are nice, landing on ships is cool, but searching for them while being lost over full sea was just too frequent ending of a mission. The dive bomber raids and carpet bombing raids did not present even remotely the experience of the same quality as B17/DB3 hunting.
And as a matter of fact, the Forgotten Battles v1.0 screwed the online code completely. It was a reign of laggy games. One of the last FB patches, that was prior to the AEP fixed it finally. FB added lots of nice content but introduced its own set of not-too-small bugs aswell.
