The unfortunate turth

[Jaws2002]

With this game looking worse and worse from patch to patch, it's actually encuraging for other companies to get into ww2 combat flight siming.
Before the CLOD release, everyone, including other companies, were aware of the very high standards products released by Maddox Games and didn't risk getting into competition with them. Maddox Games had the market cornered.
Fast forward one year. Now everyone out there knows this team is a shadow of the powerhouse it once was, so I'm sure others will get into this genere and compete for all this honest and loyal customers.

Competition is the soul of progress. Bring it.

Agreed BUT the competition will also know how hard it is to get up to the high bar and they may leave things short but working which we the consumers may have to decide on.
You can have a sim of less quality working or wait for Clod which may be a while yet.
Graphics will improve in time as advances are made but will the research into accuracy follow or will they settle for arcade sell = high numbers.

I don't believe that those are the only choices.

It's clear to those of us who retain objective viewpoints that the sim has been bungled on a massive scale (and no, Tagert, I'm not crying because I don't realize this is a beta patch).

That is ever questionable.

I don`t think that anyone that knows something about Soviet planes would deny that most of them have been modeled in IL2 in the more say "optimistic" way. Soviet airforce didn`t lose hundrets of aircraft just to inexperienced pilots, and that is what IL2 makes you think.
Proves that the Russian market has a big unfluence on what Oleg did to the FM.

Translating that for other markets, I think that in some more popular MMO arcade sims the P-51, the Spitfire and the FW190 are bound to be made by according to certain "selling" points : easy controls, superior performance to most opponents, no construction related faults.

this game looking worse and worse from patch to patch is because of all the little fing crybaby trolls that wont shut the hell up until they get what they want when they want it, they forced Maddox to release this patch pre-maturly because of all they're bitching. it was fine the way it was. so don't blaim the company for this blaim the snot nose brats who have no life other than going on fourms and bitching all the live long day. Black Six said this patch was in no way shape or form ready, but everyone's constant qqing forced them to do this now everyone is on bitching again about how bad the patch sux, its like no $%^&*#@ DUH! maybe this time they will learn to wait for them to finish something rather than bitching about it.
