April 27, 2011(!!!) - Beta Patch #2 - It's old thread

[hockeywarrior]

The previous patch totally killed any performance gains that I had so far from all of the previous patch work.

This patch brings back most of those performance gains thankfully, so I appreciate that. That said, I don't see any improvement regarding the remaining major game-breaking issues that I have, such as:

1) The inability to fly Spitfires and sometimes Hurricanes without CEM turned on because the AI limits the RPM to levels so low that you can't catch enemy planes, essentially making the British campaign impossible.

2) The really bad input lag in the game that affects joystick movements, looking around, using the mouse, and keyboard input and makes it nearly impossible at times to pull off precise gunnery, especially with the crazy AI ...

3) Terrible AI that doesn't follow the laws of physics and pulls impossible stunts -- even worse than in IL2 1946. I know they say it's being worked on for next patch, but it's worth mentioning because it prevents me from having any fun with the game.

4) The generally completely broken campaigns on both sides, buggy quick missions, and the totally pointless airplane editor where none of your changes are saved. In general, all of the broken features of the game that don't add any replay value.
