While I do agree with all the other points, I don't think DCS or RoF belong in that list. They are actively patched and developed (new planes, channel map, weapon mods for RoF, new modules/planes for DCS). However MS Flight is a joke (4 DLC planes released in a row without a cockpit view) and Cliffs of Dover is where we are right now.

As for MMO thingy - it's going to stink and blow and you know it. I am lost as to why they would even consider using CloD engine. MMO's are supposed to be accessible to masses (means no dedicated hardware/joysticks are required if possible) and the CloD engine is well.. it's broken beyond repair.

My guess is that this MMO is an attempt by 1C to capitalize on the remaining IL-2 brand, the same thing that is being done right now by Ubisoft with Silent Hunter Online.
