Friday Update, April 13, 2012

We should wait the patch, before cut each other's throats. The fact that the IIa will be worse, does not mean that it will be worse than the 109! They have huge advantage now, and if the devs not touched the agility, turning ability, the IIa still have the great advantage of the same energy 1v1 air combat.

(The pre-fight tactics, situation awareness and the teamwork is already independent of the machine's performance... )

Good news on what IS coming, though Luthier is a little unsure on the online CTD, he says they have a internal server on which they test, is that the same as us playing online?
If that is not fixed then the will be a lynching.

Still the AI improvements are welcome, though unless they fix the "superman maneuvers and non engaging AI" then its not really going to get anyone playing offline.

What is very disappointing is the lack of news of other fixes and improvements for CLOD, so i guess no COOP's

The patch is good news even though it signals the impending death of CLOD, maybe as a good will gesture all of us that purchased it within the first month will get a discount on the release of BOM. Food for thought.

when you are trying so hard to cause that much damage to the game surely you should be paying twice the cost at least.

I choose to view the Maddox' way of things as a way to enrich CloD, or rather enrich the platform that CloD and BoM is built on. CLod is dead the day sequels, addons, DLC's, patches and the like has sezied to be developed. Just the way our original IL2 works.

I got the feeling as well. If the "full version" of this beta patch ends up being the last patch for CLOD I will be extremely disappointed.

Consider yourself fortunate if they don't add a forum ban surcharge.

Trust me on the bullet resistance. I have gigs of videos with the 109 on fire still turning with the reds and then zooming away all the way home. You can't argue with video.

I'm sorry but this update is a total joke.

Hooves, I'll address that point of 109s being on fire - there are 2 fuel tanks for the 109 in the game. One 'explosion' doesn't mean the 109 will run out as long as the other fuel tank isn't punctured. IMO, the occurrences of fuel tank 'explosions' happen too often compare to the RAF planes, but I don't know if this is a historical trait.
