Ok MG.. you want me to buy BoM after all CoD was during this year..

[id Hayward;436832]Yes, I'm sure there must be someone out there who wants to risk a huge investment for a small market of crybabies.[/QUOTE]

If the team of rof would start a project on let's say pacific ww2 i bet that more than a risk would be an investment.

[SEE]

I have over 1500 hours of fun and some frustration with CloD for £50, that works out at just over 3 pence per hour, I will be buying BoM for sure even if it isn't perfect!

S!

The last beta gave me some hope with CoD as the performance increased considerably from earlier releases. But again the game should have been a lot better since release as the devs had more than 10 years COMBINED experience with IL-2 series, no more novices or without extensive data to use in development.

So let's hope BoM or whatever the sequel will be, runs out of the box right away with the bitter lessons learned from CoD release. Being one of the best and only publishers of flight sims does not warrant to slack the slightest So good luck with patch work and sequel. Sincerely.

The fact that they haven't done it should tell you all you need to know about why 1C has no competition.

IMHO the fact that they didn't do tells me only that they didn't choose to do it, I'm still not able to read the mind of the rof developers.

I don't remember the specific time frame, but Jason at one time wanted to do another theatre of WW2. I THINK it was very shortly before becoming involved with RoF. I also believe there had been speculative updates from 777 Studios declaring the possibility of WW2 CFS. These were over a year ago - one of Jason's" year in review/where we are going next year" updates. I haven't read more about that speculation since.

It's not easy. It's not cheap. We're a tuff crowd to please.

Totally agree - the updates for their next patch have been flowing nicely for the last week or so. They keep sorting out the 'itch' before I need to scratch it. (not sure about that metaphor actually....)

Read this in an ROF team interview on SimHQ:

Jonas: What attracts you to modeling the English Channel / La Manche?

Albert: First of all, the new model of interaction of the seaplane with water. This is a completely new experience in piloting. In the current simulators, this component [landing on water] is made arbitrarily and in fact we do not yet have the answer to the question of "how it was", so I really want to get it [right]. The map itself will be very different from what we have now — not just a set of trees or other houses, but a completely different theater of war. Of course, this map is [potentially] just perfect for Spitfire vs. Messerschmitt. At least one can dream.

I don't honestly think that it is anything other than 'dreaming out loud' atm, but an interesting comment all the same.


On the COD patch situation generally, I really don't know what to say any more, so have been generally keeping quiet. Patience has been well and truly exhausted though. What a saga...

Hope they can get it sorted, but there is such a bad taste in the mouth now that it will take improvements of huge magnitude to really get me excited and believing in this again.

Smoke an mirrors , If i do buy bom (prob not) to fix this game won't it still be broke , Sounds like double down card game .Invest more money on bad ?

If sequel is MMO it will probably be free to play = no need to buy.

The problem is the MMO part will be buggy. Potential reason to failure. It would be more clever to release a standard 1941-42 sequel first to get trust back and only then add 1942-46 as MMO imho.
