I don't recall anyone saying that the disappointingly missing aspects are a good thing. What the noncomplainers have been saying is that the decenters are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Oleg has said the smaller bomber formations are in the base campaigns so that even midrange systems can play them. The dynamic weather will be put fully implemented as soon as it is ready for prime time. We aren't asking for you to not be disappointed, we are too, but just please stop being complete jerks about it. No one is happy that those features are missing, but before anyone can say it is going to ruin the game we need to at least wait till you have the game in hand.

We got a huge life out of Il2 Sturmovik because 1C Maddox continued to support their game, the community made mods and campaigns, and the online aspect. It lives after a decade because of 1C Maddox and this community. Now there seems to be aspects of that same community that are intent on destroying this new outing before it even hits shelves.
