Well I don't understand how they can have all those FPS killing hedges in their sim and still expect it to run on your average gamer's machine. That's craziness.

You can't compare IL-2 ClOD to the likes of Wings of Prey or any other game/sim unless that games/sim is also equal in terms of physics, damage modeling etc. CPU/GPU resources are limited and all these things must be shared. You can have a really pretty screenshot, but so what if the plane flies like the planes from Ace Combat.

Also, easy for a game to look pretty when it only is drawing a map like the size used in a FPS compared to the map size of CloD.

One day you guys will tell me what you really like about the CEM in this half-sim... Take out the OVERHEAT label from IL2 and the management it's almost the same. Of course there is the oil radiator too... but the funny thing is that both the radiators do not work correcly IIRC so...

About WoPlanes: I really really really like the terrain and the haze effect... tracers and smoke are very good, the flames are similar to the IL2's one, and are not so different from CloD (I still remember when Oleg posted the first images of the flaming bomber)
Regarding map size: it's really a problem??? I'm against very big maps if the target of the sim to fight: wider maps means lesser probability to find the enemy, above all with the horrible target visibility of CloD. Bigger is not better...

I like the external models too, of course the cockpits of Clod are better but I don't care about that if I want to have a combat sim. What I'm saying is that I would prefer worser models/graphics but better playability/simulation.

Then talking about DM and FM... maybe CloD's DMs are more detailed but there is not guarantee that they are correct, above all then FMs are totally broken since the release.

I would easily take a great combat simulator with 2003 graphics over a broken simulator with beautiful graphics...

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.

That's only true if mindless and pointless gangbanging with fighters is all you care about. Once realistic missions are part of the equation postage stamp maps become a true problem.

Strange logic Manu. I'd go for the nerdy looking girl who just needs to unravel her hair, add a little makeup and take off the glasses over the rough old slapper any day mate.
