I'm expecting the game to have the same level of graphics, DMs and FM as RoF - but updated to a WW2 setting. I still think RoF has had a decent development cycle where at least graphical improvements have been steadily added. I like the feeling of flight, but can that be updated to a WW2 setting? I hope so.

I don't expect anything revolutionary or groundbreaking in BoS...... which is sad considering the depth that CoD was going for. In the last developer update Loft mentioned on several occasions that this was like playing IL2 (the original game). As much as we liked it, the game wasn't as in-depth as what is currently allowable with today's technology. I think his comment (whether he realizes it or not) is an honest assessment of what BoS will be. Nothing more, nothing less. On the whole, I can live with that.

I still have CoD and TF is continuing to greatly improve the game. When I hear some positive updates from Luthier and fans I'll invest in DCS 1944. It's finally a good time to be a flight sim enthusiast. No?

Yes, absolutely.
