Nice video, I think I saw it before on some Russian site.

However, no wonder the game is called Cliffs of Dover; the game is a slide-show over land! I know WoP has a postage-stamp map, but I can play the WoP demo at full settings on my ageing core-2 duo (2.00ghz) and ATI 4650 without any fps loss, and similarly I can fly the 352nd CCM in Il-2 (everything set to max) with tons of objects and trees on the map, and no noitceable FPS drop like that.
I understand CoD has a lot more in it than either of those sims, but if the game runs like that on most systems, I can see many people shelving it for a year until it's properly playable. I hope I'm wrong.
