They both look fine.
Even if RoF is considered arcade by some simulation fans it is still a simulator and nowhere near a real "arcade/casual" - game on the market out there.
In my opinion RoF took a lot of undeserved criticism by the IL2 community which branded it as a joke initially before any of the games were even released.
Having the facts in our hands we can pretty much conclude that the developers that ran IL2 while having a huge passion, dedication for their project,
obviously had a hard time managing and packaging the project into a solid game within a reasonable timeframe.
RoF is a more polish and solid game title than CloD, while clod obviously contains a lot more realism it also contains a lot more bugs.
From my experience this isn't rare when it comes to easter-europe/Russian developers, in fact they usually make much greater & deeper
games for specific niches, but they tend to be very buggy like for instance some series such as Stalker, Arma, Outfront series(Men of War) etc.
Last but not least, working with the sim community as a developer can sometimes be a bitch. The undertaking of CloD was massive and i think it would've benefited
a lot from being a much more "expanding project" and having an early release with very little content. Yet many folks demand triple A quality with quantity when it comes to our very little and beloved niche.
I think we should treat both our devs and our community a little better if we're gonna keep what little is left.
