also, crashlandings of damaged & aircrafts on fire were much more harder and challenging in il2 sturmovik and that despite of its flat-panel like terrain.

in il2-cod , you can land gently almost anything almost anywhere , and im not even talking about the transparent trees...

i dont just understand why some features thate were already there in the old il2sturmovik are no longer in the il2cod which is supposed to be a progress and advancement of the whole series??? what the hell??

there is a lot more of other things that are unexistent in il2cod, those things that made really the "thrilling fun" ... and those who used to play since the early versions of il2 knows the things that are missing .. its a shame

It's not like they just took the old game and added better graphics. This is a whole new game, presumably almost entirely from scratch. In my opinion this game is much better than 1946 is; it just needs a lot of polish. The game underneath is fantastic and quite honestly the flight/damage/engine models make 1946 feel like a toy by comparison.

I believe that much of the COD functionality such as collision detection (trees, parachutes etc) has been turned off by the developers to minimise game freezes & stutters. I hope they turn collisions on again in the next update.

BTW, harder is NOT always more realistic!!!!!
