Sorry for saying so, but seeing the number of computer illiterate complaints (as in "it never occurred to me to ever test how something works, so i'll just call it a bug because it's different than what i'm used to from IL:1946") and the actual, real issues of the sim during the European release, i think this is for the best.

I mean no offense to you Mastiff and i know you've been around a long time, this is not directed at you. What i'm trying to say is that releasing it into a market of a few hundred million before some basic stuff are fixed and some cryptic features properly documented will inundate the boards with cries of "tar and pitchforks" all over again.

For example, due to the complexity of the aircraft models there's a whole lot of stuff people think are bugs which are actually realistic limitations and features, took us all over on this side of the pond the better part of a month figuring most of it out and apart from the forums, they are not documented anywhere else.

I too prefer to get an early peek at a beta release because i like tinkering with stuff and in that regard, i completely understand your impatience: "better to have it today and work with what's there than having to wait until everything is perfect" and all that.

In the grand scale of things however, it would generate a lot of bad press if it was released in its current state, even though it's much improved from the barely playable version i installed a month ago.

And perhaps Ubi does not need all the lawsuits they'll get for introducing an almost-but-not-entirely--totally-quite completed product on the US market...

Judging by the amount of whining and temper tantrums on this forum they would be absolutely right IMO

I don't think Steam has ever had a COD forum. Everyone just uses the IL-2 forums.
