Was Oleg Maddox too far ahead of his time?

[nearmiss]

There is no way Oleg or Luthier were ahead of their time. Look at all the newer awesome games and their graphic environments.

What about COD. Is it a significant improvement over modified IL2 ?
The graphics... ? Anything else you can think of?
Is the COD AI improved over the modified IL2 or BOB II WOV?

Was the COD development team ever up to the task of building a better air combat simulator game than IL2?

Do you really think COD is better than IL2 with modifications?

You can answer all the questions yourself

Enjoy what we have now, you won't be disappointed.
The BOB II WOV is soon to release a huge new improvement patch, and the IL2 is constantly being improved with modifications.
The WW2 Air combat simulation world is not collapsing.

Then 777 Battle of Stalingrad is over a year away (2014) and it may take longer.

No reason to complain... We all loved Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, and other great stars. It is time to pull ourselves together, quit grieving over something that cannot be and enjoy what we have.

Happy New Year!

Well said nearmiss! Hope you (all) have a great new year

Oleg was so far ahead of time during COD's development, he got another job.

It is, but the improvements were not used by MG to give the player an improved experience.

Eye-candy, and ability to change the types of bullets in the fighters.

There are more options to modify COD AI behavior -- but not in a Quick mission without editing the mission file .

Was there "a team"?

Best I can say is they are equally appealing, but for different reasons.

Better to say 2 years to get a BoS in a useful state.
