I really don't think so!

I'm tired off all that "US release" talking... The sim was developed in Russia, was sold in europe and other places around the world... Why people keep talking like the US market have "higher standards" than other markets? It's not true at all.

I listen a lot of nonsense about the european release... Like european customers are "guinea pigs"... Now you dislike some joke about the north american market? Gimme a break...

This sim is a masterpiece, in any market!

I love playing online but I find that living in Australia you are hard pressed to find a server that has a low ping, full realism settings and isn't empty.

Currently COD only seems to have about 7 servers and only one has an acceptable ping (Syndicate). However since the hotfix/patch fiasco I can't seem to find anyone on the Syndicate server when it is evening in Australia during the week. The other night there were 5 people on it, I joined up and they all left within a minute of me joining .

I'm suffering from the MP sound bug, and now to make matters worse I lose FFB when I pull the trigger in MP. So multiplayer is dead for me at the moment. Single player is starting to get tiring as the AI is just too aware.

As MG said the sound is going to take months to fix, I think they should try to make SP as enjoyable as they can, by giving us more control over AI settings in the Quick missions etc, and the dev team need to work on toning down some of the AI's behaviour.

The U.S. release is psychologically important because it creates a mental barrier between the hope that this game will be fixed and devastation that it never will. Of course, we all know that July will be here soon...too soon really to get the game fixed. Hence, I suggest that 1C will consider my re-deployment strategy described above to extend everyone's hope for this game. It's very simple strategy. We all just say ourselves in your quiet voice, "the game hasn't come out yet, it's coming out next year". Then the webmasters around the world delete everything on CLoD. Then next year 1C delivers the change, a fixed game. It will work. I know it.

I bought the game for multiplayer. Since online campaigns in IL2 I can never return to flying alone. Experiencing a 4 man squad commencing a supply/bomber hunting mission is something hard to express with words. And now, a full BoB online campaign seems to be few months away.

I see it simpler maybe, offline - training, online -advanced.

Buzpilot what have you said...

Run away before the offline pilots get the pitchforks out...

I agree

*pulls pitchfork*

Pardon the strong words, Buzpilot, but utter BS.

This attitude is one of the things I don't like about some onliners. They think online is inherently superior just for the presence of other human players, but while nobody denies that AI will never be as unpredictable as a human being that is not a sign of inferiority - just difference. Because, IMO, online is simply sportive competetive flying without much regard for history (varying in degree, though, and in varying disguises) while offline I can actually enjoy what I like about PC games - the story behind the operation(s).

[JG52Krupi]

Quite true csThor.

To be honest the only thing not working in cod online at present and ignoring the low 45-50 fps is the sound issues, if only they could get a temporary fix fir that I would've happy.

You are one of the pilots from the Staffel assigned to support a Stuka airstrike to fend off the T34 attacking our main airfield. You`re short on fuel, with only two 109G10, the rest being 109G6early. If you fail, the AF falls to the red side and you`re forced to retreat another 50km of the frontline to the west. This will also rid your tank columns residing near Moscow of any resources. How`s that for a story?
