I think we should stop comparing CoD with Rise of Flight. Anything that can be compared has already been compared and it's already getting to the "beating a dead horse" routine.

I don't think it's fair to either sim really. All that will end up happening is a degeneration into the same sort of fanboi wars we used to see between F4 and LOMAC, and all that will end up doing is creating unwarranted polarisation is what is afterall a small niche market.

Well said, I plan to support both series although I admit while I have purchased the bris fit (my favourite aircraft from ww1) I have still being playing cod more.

We have two great sims and we should compare them as long as we don't split our already tiny community.

yadda yadda...beat a dead horse.

I purchased RoF on the day it was released.. it was a mess, clearly a Beta, had numerous problems & issues. 2 years latter it is a gem. I hope CloD has a similar path.

I don`t see a problem. Besides seeing a vague ROF thread from time to time it`s good to have some competition. Such is a human nature that lack of if makes people lazy. So if CloD can look up to ROF in some aspects then let it be so.

Although at all times we should point out, that ROF has two years of after-release development because apparently some people find it suitable to bash CloD with ROF and that not good for any of those titles.

If I ever was to post a ROF thread, I`s say : look what Rise of Flight has become after a longish wait. We will see CloD being polished in the same way through the coming months. Optimism is good and yet rational.

personally for me there are no competition between ROF and COD. ROF is a sim of WW1 plane and COD WW2 plane.

if you want go on on this line... why not compare to lock on or DCS A10?

and like lot of people said... i bought myself ROF in his release... .and it was really a piece of crap! now it is a good sim but need too a good machine to get high graphic conf.

but personally i play more often to il2 1946 than ROF. because i'm not a fan of WW1.

and pay for each thing that dev add is not my cup of thea neither!

exept that ROF had default too... for me his damage system is not good compared even to il2 first of name.

but if i want to make a post aboutr it...i fgo to rise of flight forum...not here just to troll...

please... stop comparing what is not comparable.

if i was an modo i will delete all this kind of post!

Well, I`d play ROF some more if it had some more insight to it but right now it is quite shallow. Nothing like the coops in IL2. For the same reason my time with CloD is also limited. It gets stale after 2-3 hours. If we ever got two of those games perform coops just like in IL2, I might share the time between two of them. Now managing jest and helicopters is a whole different experience, and one I have no knowledge of whatsoever. I saw few ppl make comparisons to DCS, mainly for the reason of optimisation - since both games supposedly have a full blown physics model attached to them.

For the same reason I don`t play DCS type sims, I can`t yet manage to do the advanced CEM well. Really hard to operate it if you don`t have a spare axis.

Before we get into dead horse beating, did ANYNE who is saying "See, See, Compare it to this!" actually play, or try to play RoF when it was actually released A YEAR AGO????

This is a fine sim but they are struggling. CoD wooed away Valery Kornilov their sound master. That is a red flag. And I have been reading that in no uncertain terms if things do not turn around for them there could be further organizational changes to lean up the operation.
