The problem was (and is) that everyone thinks that he or she is smarter than anybody else. So we ended up with a trillion mods - each of which are true to history according to its author. As a consequence we also ended up with servers each with its own mod pack and its own realism setting. It became a pain in the **** to find a suitable combination of mod+realism setting let alone nice missions. It was basically impossible to find a vanilla-full realism server (so a nomod-full realism combination). For me the mods killed IL2 1947 mp. I did never touch it again.

Absolutely, and the same thing could happen with Clod. I was a hold out and never tried the mods, all the mod talk was enough for me to leave Ubi zoo...as far as I know, just me and ElAurens stayed away from ever using them
