Well this was the first online WW2 'sim' (okay, it's really not a sim!) I played:
http://www.airattack-central.com/Air_Attack_Videos.php Then I found IL2 and never looked back. Currently, even though I have CloD, I just don't play it as I wait for Patches. Il2:1946 has 5 different installs on my HD (HSFX/UP/etc,etc) and I will be playing that and Wings of Prey for years yet! I hope CloD does make it through though as it looks great, but needs patching. However, I can wait as I have loads to play with for now! Cheers, MP

Hi,
In and out of flight sims for years but never seriously. Been mainly Sub Siming as persona Hans Gruber since 2005 but fell out of love when UBI released SH5. Some talented moders have managed to make a reasonable game out of it but it still lacks the SH3 'appeal' alas. Bought il2 to bide my patience till COD came out then plunged into a big PC upgrade, Track IR and Saitek 52 Pro. I'm lucky to have bought a Gigabyte GTX 480 Super OC with 1.5 GB VRam before the prices went up....it's due to this card that i'm having a great time with COD. Sure it needs a lot of optimisation work and an overhaul of the interface, sound and AI but it does have the makings of a classic. I just wish they had gone with any other publisher than UBI and waited before releasing it. I feel 1C have now lost the opportunity to have made a lot of money on COD. But I'm sure we'll benefit from their continued support of their Russian client base. I'll mainly be lurking here as I don't get on too well with authority.

Aha! I like this forum...thanks mods.
Been playing Il-2 (almost) from the beginning...I got my first copy about eight months after release, and added to it over the years with all the great expansion packs that came out. Eventually I bought 1946 as it was easier having everything on one disc. Il-2 is the only sim I've really gotten heavily involved in, athough I like LOMAC and the DCS series as well. Wishing Clod and the team all the best for the future. PS-Skoshi, great pic!

Greetings! Dave here, 66 years young, pro photographer (too much fun to retire)
 Played flight sims since Microsoft Flight Sim on the Atari (top half of screen blue, bottom half green and grey rectangle for runway) Didn't try on-line combat until a year ago when I installed WOP. Loving the on-line experience of Clod, even get the occasional kill  -S-

Hi, I'm 92 years old and been playing Farming sims on Facebook since 2001. I did a google on "clod" and found this site and discovered this game has cows. The rest, as they say, is naval history.

hi there, 1.JaVA_Sharp checking in. Discovered Il2 back in '01 although I had been simming before that Aces over Europe the Janes stuff the Microprose stuff, European Airwar and so on. Since I had an idea what an il2 actually was it satisfied my curiosity about The Eastern Front immensly. I was 25 back then and all of a sudden ten years have gone by.....

Have been flying sims since Lucasarts Battle of Britain & Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe( boy...have we come a long ways)
 Discarded everything but a very modded IL-2 UP3.0 ,Rise of Flight & of course Cliffs of Dover,which I really do like ( maybe because of the amount of eye-candy) and which I think I'm only scratching the surface of....In high hopes it will only get bigger & better..Music while playing? 1940 BBC:Ray Noble,Ambrose, Jack Hylton et al & Korngold & Max Steiner Movie soundtrack... Oh...I also paint a bit:    ( Semi relevant to the subject) www.jamesdietz.com

Anyway, about me... Ditto: since LucasArts, and I still remember the thrill of the kill even though the enemy was composed of 10 juddering blocks of pixels! always needed to buy the latest sim release, but always 3 generations behind the hardware curve ( can't sneak anything passed the wife ) So online battles are usually (always) short and sweet( something to do with lag...  ... but immense fun...Ww2 is definitely my preferred era, not into modern, I like to see who is killing me  So CoD and RoF are taking turns at the moment... Isn't it nice in here? Cheers Last edited by retrojet; 08-03-2011 at 03:35 PM. Reason: Gone to Jamesdietz.com :)
