We will ALL buy the sequal.

You know YOU will

We moan and b*tch, but we are deep down loyal to the genre.

Sorry but from the original IL2 until IL2 pacific war I did play each of them many hours not without problems but play I did and not only single player but also in little groups of four players in local lan games. With pc's equiped p4 lga775 2core 2.8ghz 4gb memory and some gfx480 if my memory does function correctly.

Beautiful but heavy and complicated.

I agree to some extent, as I helped beta test the original version, it was very system demanding, but it ran very well on my highly optimized system. There were a few bugs, but no show stoppers, with a constant stream of patches that included new content aswell as bug fixes. When they added new theaters, new features, bug fixes were included with the new maps, missions, and aircraft. Hopefully the development will stay the course with this business model. Although I doubt we will see as much free content, as we did in those days.

My son got me hooked into this sim and there possibly isn't a day that goes by that I don't question my mentality.
I started off with a 2g cpu, Agp graphics card(possibly 250mb v/ram?) and 1gb mem. Then up graded to 2.4g dual core cpu about the middle of the series and a 6600gt card, also m/b change.
Then along comes C.o.D., up goes the ante.
First 9600gt card (1gb v/ram) another 4gb ram (now 6gb total) oh god what happens then, the poor old p/s starts coughing and dies.
Decisions,decisions what to do.
Well i finally bit the bullit and decided on a complete re-build. Which way do I go? I finally decided on an Sli system to give me some options and don't regret it at all. I have had this running now for about 12 months and after a lot of experimenting with settings have good results with C.o.D.

The old system I repaired and past on to my other son's family and they are still using it.

Thank goodness the old series is still going strong because it will act as a feeder to this series as it progresses. I still go back to the old series and probably will continue to do so because there is continuing expansion there, some very good (new planes, effects and maps) and with software like "Mission Mate" and others it is very easy and quick to build missions with a huge choice of aircraft.

Oleg maybe long gone but his legacy lives on.
