I'm loving the game since the latest patch, online is becoming more and more fun.

I actually agree in fair measure with this statement. I think they could have opted for a paid beta (with a discount on the final release for those who shelled out for it). Most of the hard-core buyers would have been happy to pay to get their mitts on the sim even knowing that it was not a complete product, and would have been happy to help provide feedback to improve it.
Part of the dissatisfaction expressed on these boards is a result of mismanaged expectation.
We naturally expected a finished product, not one that would require some pretty fundamental patches to render it playable. This is the underlying reason people are pissed off.

That said, as I stated before, I think that OM and 1C have already established a pretty solid track record of supporting the IL2 series, they should certainly be given credit for that. There's a vocal minority who clearly won't be happy no matter how many updates they get so long as their particular pet peeve is not addressed.

Frankly, there's not much we can do about those people [except do our best to ignore them].
