Maybe CPU too.


lol


Play Sims3 or something like that.

So is this a pathetic attempt to insult me because I dont want to buy some pedals or some other peripheralthat I dont need? I simply enjoy the experience with a Logitech joystick and I dont want all the other "hardcore sim" attachments. I play other games too so its not like I am going to spend over a $100 just to play IL 2.

I apologise for my original post Tacky, you caught me in a weak moment after reading all the negative threads and I took your "tone" the wrong way, my bad.

Your above post explains some of the differences with players of this sim, unlike consoles where everyone is playing on an even platform the nature of pc's vary greatly.

I personally have spent well over $2000 (probarly much more) on various Hotas, trackir's, headphones and pc upgrades over the last 8 years just to enjoy this game. I fully understand that not everyone enjoys "full switch" and a lot of players just like to fly in the action servers, and therein lies our differences of opinion in what is important in the game and what isn't.

If COD does attract a lot of new players from word of mouth/steam or whatever, the majority of those players will fly in the easier dogfight servers with maybe 5% taking it to the next level.
And those of us who have played the game primarliy as a WW2 flight "simulator" must realise that if the game does go forward we will become the minority.

As i said earlier each to thier own, lets just all enjoy it when it is released no matter what our preferred style of play.

Cheers

I think we should give the conspiracy theorists full rein here. Are Tree, Tanner and TacKY the same person? Are they acting in cahoots?

Is there in fact a conspiracy to throw in negative inflammatory posts or is it all a misunderstanding and really those that question the abilities/features of a not-yet-released game are just misunderstood?

Discuss.

Maybe if you would read the ******* thread instead of just talking you would know something about whats going. Unlike the people that want to the buy game based on promises, I want to know the full list of things that will be on the game. Oleg has a good track record but that doesnt mean that he wont have a game that flops and is bad. I am simply wanting an official feature list on the game's website or some other place so that it can be readily available to new people who want to get the game too. It doesnt matter that you are going to buy it based on Oleg's promises because the majority of people that he probably wants to buy the game are the people that have never heard of IL 2 or been on these forums.

I'm sure you want your little full feature list but have you been living under a rock for the last 5 years? Keep dreaming that you'll get a full list of >all< the features in a game.(pre-release)
Besides im sure not even Oleg would wanna spoil everything to his community. The majority around here knows what to expect from his products anyway.

Buying it based on his track record is good enough for a lot of people, including me, we know it isn't some rushed console port with a lack of passion,
if that was the case yeh then i would agree with you.. but on this product its laughable, some treat it like its another rehashed COD(Call of Duty) installment.

What a fool. There will be planes and stuff. That's all you need to know until it's released. If you want to know more before you buy the game then wait for reviews or read these forums after it has been released.

As for saying that you want a list for newcomers well that comment smells. Grow up and learn patience.

Well his request is not unreasonable,

There is a list, provided by Ubi but in my eyes far from complete, although the vast majority of former IL2 players know what they are going to get, for newcomers the story is different. I think there will be a more detailed list before the release, perhaps next Friday.

But what exactly will put you off now from buying the only new realistic WWII combat flight sim on the market? More flyables? IL2:CoD covers all what you will need to have the BoB experience, planes that can be added will only be "extra" in terms of gameplay. The capabilities of this sim are, as IL2 Sturmovik, huge, there are no restrictions when it comes to scale except your own PC's performance, make campaigns and missions as big as you want ect. On top of that, as Oleg said previously, multi player has been given a lot more attention, but not much more information than that.

LOL, calling me a fool because I actually want this game to succeed. If you think that the game will sell well just because there is "planes and stuff" then you are sadly mistaken. People want to know what they are getting when they buy a game not be suprised whenever they do make the purchase. Maybe I should sell you a car and tell you just wait until you pay for everything then I will show you all the features. Consumers don't purchase promises and just because a couple of people on a forum know his track record doesn't mean that everybody else does. The recent peaceful stroll videos set to slow music for a WWII Aerial Combat Sim is a little disconcerting especially when release is less then two weeks ago. Hell, it isnt even on Steam yet and whenever it does get on Steam, I am positive that the game won't sell if it says " IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover; Features: Oleg made IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 so purchase this game because they are nice people".



TBH though, the only feature I want is a Dynamic Campaign so if they had confirmed that then it would be a definite purchase so I hope that someone makes a mod like the Dynamic Campaign Generator.

I'm sure someone will do just that. I'm not a fan of dynamic campaigns, but a lot of people would like to see it as well, undoubtedly someone will make one, or wait for Oleg to include it.
