Will we see bigger battles?

That's your world Heliocon, not ours. From videos I've seen clear differences between various systems.

I have a 4GHz i7-920 GPU and with more than a handful of planes the stutters and pauses become unbearable. So no, you won't see large air battles for a very long time in CoD, well unless the devs can work a miracle.

It doesn't matter, there are videos with people running QXXX and EXXX.
The difference between Q i7's are hardly a massive jump by the way. The game simply does not use 100% like most other games. Though, I recon it can be optimised to 100 or so players as they have obviously at some point tried it with current hardware.

I think that in some years we will have large battles, i remember when IL-2 was release and my computer could not handle 30 planes in the air

Sod16 point me to some vids of people with a q6600.
I know sli etc is stuffed by people with epilepsy etc and patches are to come. But I will have to upgrade and wonder if I have to go all out or not.. Show me a system running full graphics with 45+ fps always. Maybe two early for that....

I am getting about 8fps with my set-up.
Below is giving me 8-14fps over land and 14-30fps over water on low to medium settings


Win64 7 ultimate Professional
Panasonic 42' LCD @ native 1980x1080
Q6600 oc to 4.0ghz - fan air cooled
8gig ddr3 OCZ ram
780i EVGA MB
128 OCZ SSD
2x 285GTX SLI

Yeooooww!

I don't have COD yet, but if you are having FPS issues I can just imagine what I'll be having with my system.

When I look at your specs I see - whew! lots of expense and then you tell us your FPS. Hard to believe a sim that has been in the works nearly six years and the kind of hardware we have now ... isn't cutting it?

My gosh, there has to be alot of efficiency that we have to pick up in configuration of COD.

Yeah I know. I am Devastated and shocked myself. But I have faith in the Team.

I would happily go out and spend a couple of grand on Saturday to upgrade me and my brother to identical riggs. But I am waiting to see some hard evidence from others on High FPS on full graphics and their PC specs first.

Until then I can just play around in the skinning and maybe look at the mission builder.

God I hope performance, sli and epilepsy issues are patched and released by Saturday morning AEST. I want to LAN till I fall asleep and then LAN some more..

There are a few getting much higher fps after some optimizations. Try running only one video card and lowering your resolution. There are a number of other options, like turn off the mirror, and clickable cockpits I've seen in the forums. Like you say you probably still have the epilepsy on, which you should be able to turn off soon.

Did I disupute that? I just made a generalised statement which so far is overall true. Hardware makes a differance but if a cpu 4x more powerful can only produce 1.2x the performance then its the softwares fault. Get a grip.

As far as I know COD has the same limit on number of aircraft as IL2 -

4 flights X 4 Squadrons..so 64 aircraft on each side = total 128

Multiplayer is also 128 total


This may well change in years to come, although IL2 never increased.
