Yes, this distinction needs to be made. I understand criticisms when they are constructive, but we see to many responses in here that are just foaming at the mouth rants about something that is relatively trivial or personal preference. Being critical is one thing, but just being rude and unpleasant is another. There are many legitimate complaints about things we won't have at release, but at the same time some of these have been promised in later updates when they are fully ready. Too many of the really mean spirited criticisms though seem to come from people that want things in a way that virtually only they want that way. I know it's useless sometimes trying to talk sense into this community, but I would really love to see people be more constructive in the way they say things. We all have things we really want out of it, and in some areas what each of us wants varies widely from what others expect.
Personally the main things I wanted are already in. A very detailed damage model, and an improved (over Sturmovik) flight model. Things I want that aren't expected at release is the dynamic weather, and a dynamic campaign. The main thing I wish for that just isn't going to be fulfilled though is a PC on the current market that will be able to run this at full spec, but then the same was true of Sturmovik wasn't it?
I have high expectations of 1C Maddox, and I can assure anyone that believes me to be a "They can do no wrong" fan that simply is not the case, but I am an optimist. I believe they will do the best they can with the time and budget at hand, but if it doesn't meet my expectations I will be amongst the first back here to throw a fit
I just don't see that as very likely.
I assume there is still no word on whether or not the release has changed?
