We are not saying not to discuss. However the developers are not reading every post on the forum. This is a middle ground so we can sort out the wheat from the chaff.

So you intent to FILTER.

No, I say: don't cut the link between dev team and community by a filter. It worked fine this way for over 10 years and never change a running system.

But I understand why you like this stuff. That's how things likely were during your time in the RAF where there had been people assuring the link between the base and the lead. But this is civil life which works different and experience shows that it worked fine.

I don't want a filter because that IS what you actually do propose. You want a group of users that collects issues and then transmit them to the dev team. But what would be the benefit from it if this group of people did NOT filter? It would be nil. So they WILL filter.

So tell me how's it's going now? Filter is what is needed. But not through one individual but a collective so everyone gets a voice.

We have Spitfire cutout issues and instruments going from one extreme to another. This to me is taking CoD from being a sim to another arcade game like IL2 became after the release of Pacific Fighters.

You are perfectly entitled to your opinion. I am just saying this forum is full of ranting and raving but no clear details.

Again you are taking my post out of context.

The developers wont stop community feedback but there still needs to be a filter to help with the issues.

Just my opinion.

The problem is that everyone here is a freaking expert. We need less experts, not more.

That it isn't working is only your perception.

I've been around for quite a while and I have complete confidence into the dev team (with more than ten years of experience of interaction with the community) being absolutely and perfectly capable of putting the right priority to what they read on the forums - unlike you it seems.

Ah, the wheat from the riff-raff...

I know you mean well Hamish, but speaking as an anarchist, I believe in natural selection.

The spoilers will become extinct if they are not fed over time, and the natural pride and energy of the developers, will ensure their survival and creative work, as long as enough of us make it worth their while to do so.

Have faith Ham... the cream always rises.

welcome to the banana forum, where the cake isn't the only thing fruity.

I have been around since IL2 first appeared. I have confidence in the Dev team I never said otherwise. I am just seeing the same bickering on the forum from a decade back that resulted in a massive load of patches.

As I said an idea you have raised your points and they are perfectly valid. You don't like the idea and that's fine.

Think its bad now? Wait till the average yank "gamer" gets a hold of it in a couple of weeks! (No offence to our wonderful American allies intended, the ones flying now we will class as eagle squadron pilots)
