Thats the max amount of bombers in the campaign by my understaning, surely you would think that if the game runs well, you would increase the bomber amount and let the users turn down all other details/aspects such as ground textures, AA, and resolution etc, rather than reduce the Battle of Britain to a small fight in a pub!

Yes, because it was tuned for minimum spec machines.

Are you really expecting to be able to turn up graphics settings on a minimum spec machine? It'll have to run with lowest settings from the off, that's why it's called a minimum spec.

Then you need to take a trip to 'Tree C World' and let me build you a stonking new Rig

I don't come here a lot, just for the updates but Tree, do you ever have anything positve to say?

Do you think OM would do anything that would damage sales of this game?

You take a comment made by Luthier and run with it when he was only trying to shut you up.

If you are unhappy, don't buy it

That's a matter of opinion, isn't it? Seems like Oleg would prefer that the game looks good and has fewer aircraft at the minimum spec. Have you *seen* the minimum spec? It's not the kind of spec you would expect to run this game with a lot of aircraft, or indeed any new game. Wait until the campaign makers get their groove on.

Actually, I remember Luthier posting that if people wanted they could go into the FMB and add more aircraft to these missions.

They really do seem to have been set so that lower-spec PCs can play them out of the box.

Oleg, you are online ...

Could you please write some lines about the status of Cliffs of Dover?
Is it gold? Will it go gold in time? Stuff like that.

Im gonna be suprised if that isnt possible. If not, well then this has to be the first time ever a developer/launch is targeted towards the lowest common denominator ONLY.

And thats imo makes no sense what so ever.

Unless, as u say, they suffer from 'perfectionitis' (taken to the extreme) in witch case "making sense" is out of the equation.
