S!

Wow, that appears to be Epic CoD campaign. Great work!

Great news B6.. Just my luck, waited patiently for months then just as the update to cure all my ills is due, I'm going on holiday for 2 weeks. Ah well, something to think about as I soak up the sun in the Canary Isles sipping cool beers. Must be the first time that I will look forward to coming off holiday!!

The new line will work the same way. If you own the old product, you'll be able to install a new one on top of it; or you'll be able to get a compilation product like 1946 that includes old content from previous releases.

But once the sequel is released, there obviously won't be any more support for stand-alone CoD.

seems legit.

This is getting so frustrating to get any plane in the game that can compete what the heck. I don't care what you call me this is really up setting. to now fight an even harder fight against the 109s. which just need a boost not a dumbing of the British planes. Bring back the head shake and plane shine and I will at least fly the sim offline for the scenery.

You make the mistake of equating raw aircraft performance with the historical results their missions produced. Performance is just a part of a long and convoluted equation that - in the end - brought the results we know as history today. A lot of it simply has to do with the way both sides used their available forces ...

To expect that a computer game can depict history 1:1 is ludicruous. For starters no sane player would adhere to historical tactics or orders if they ran contrary to his common sense. Or would you, as a german fighter pilot, not tell Hermann Meier to go kriff himself and not do close escort?

I am a bit confused to be honest about what this patch will achieve as far as online game play goes. I welcome the patch but it is my understanding after reading these forums that game is ruined by the 109's superiority. I have no idea what people are talking about when they say this so can you fill me in on this and tell me if it's a game killer.

It is best to shoot this plane in the forward part of the fuselage when it almost immediately bursts into flames.

Facts yes but Hans Wind was not fighting Hurricanes in a Bf-109E.

Well... WW2 wasn't ruined for the allies by the 109s obvious superiority. I am a 109 fanboy, it has to be said.

I'm just waiting for csThor's beta patch to stop every thread he comments in from making my PC go mental about malware.

Good to see some multicore support being applied

Aye, he probably flew Brewster B239.

He flew that from 1941 to 1943. Though he switched to Bf 109 at 1943 too.

Edit: The lectures were written 1943.
