Hell, I think that you've gone way to soft on the skip-bombing 'issue', where some (single-digit numbers) people raised hell about having to consider arming times now - but since it has been changed to optional and most people will of course run with that option on, that has come out okay for me.

Just please don't do it like the CoD 'devs' do... like 'listen' to some guy's cry about how the Merlin engine negative G cut-out is too much and the CoD team actually changing that, despite them being sure they were on the right track, resulting in lost realism for... well really, nothing.
The funny thing about those complaints is/was that in the CoD forums, a few posters got mad at nearly any issue and spewed posts all over the forums, giving the impression that they are somehow the most important faction - yet, whenever somebody put up a vote (I know, not the most reliable thing on earth, too), they lost every single one of them. Each. And. Every One. That somehow nicely proved the concept of "silent majority"

To repeat again: Please, TD, don't fall for 'loud' forum post(er)s!

Despite a promising start and the amazing amount of effort put into the historical detail of things like airfields and cockpits unfortunately CoD has become almost totally a online point whore game. The posts about CoD seems mainly about online point whoring and online pvp seems to have precedence over historical accuracy, hence I own but never play it.

Whilst IL2 forums have traditionally also been dominated by online point whores (that sort of players seems to stalk forums more) it does have a better balance with offline players, WWII history nuts, current military pilots and even the odd real-life warbird owner/restorer chipping in to restore balance.

In IL2 you still get your regular dose of "0.50 cal could kill Tiger tanks and are porked in game" and "the P51 won the war so why can't I kill everyone online when I select it" threads but generally some sort of rationality kicks in.
