Should 1c finally be concerned about competition? Eagle Dynamics "Flying Legends". - Page 2

With DCS's glacial pace of adding new content, I'd say Maddox games should start to be worried, oh in about 2035.

We all had such loyalty for 1c, and I am certain we all believed this was the one release that could not possibly go wrong or wreck that loyalty. That's all been shattered for much of the community. How do you feel about the ED Legends series? It has the potential to be everything we ever wanted, especially if it's relatively scaleable and has a good dynamic campaign and online options. [...]

Thought I would underline the key words in that paragraph. Because as far as I can tell, CoD has the potential to be anything aswell, and the series has even turned out to be more than we wanted.

1C is still the top, because now that we have all bought their broken product, we now expect it to be fixed so we get what we paid for. So in the end 1C CoD is still the top.

...Besides, who wants to fly a Mustang?

It's easy and cheap enough to get both of the games, and then see which one you like best. Atleast I don't always trust other people's opinions about games, I have to try them myself.

Sure, I'm probably going to end up playing one more than the other, but I don't think bying the other would have been a waste of money or time.

Uh... Just my 2 cents I guess.

Good post, it's a very real possibility. It's true, you really wouldn't have to try that hard to be honest. Take Birds of Prey, give it a makeover with simulation flight and damage models and everyone will be jumping ship. The community has been treated to a rort and only those who are blindly in love with their captors will cling on.

if it will be as detailed and realistically modeled as A10, then i will certainly buy it.
and if they are clever, and model at least one oponent for it, 1c will have a hard time to keep me personally as a customer.
dont get me wrong...i really like clod, but its lacking in so many ways, and even its strengths like CEM are only half baked.
and especially in this aspect, i expect the mustang to be much more accurate than what we have in clod now.and thats what i want, i want it to get as realistical as possible.
i would prefer 2 realistic modeled planes , over 20 half realistical ones...

YUK! mustang! what sort of interesting, against the odds campaign can one create for a mustang?

Give me a defiant, a d1ke-breeder CO and sky full of Emil aces anyday!

You must be stupid, honestly if it were that simple then do you not think they would have just done that in the first place - or did Oleg and Co just decide it would be fun to crash the business on takeoff?

Totally.

DCS: P-51 s going to be used as marketing probe: ED will try to catch customers from the CloD's failure while the WW2 fans can try a realistic simulator (since CloD's CEM is a joke).

I have faith.

They should definitely be concerned about competition. As every company should be.

I have stopped flying CloD as it has nothing to offer for me right now, instead I fly DCS-A10C and Rise Of Flight. I would not have started to fly these sims, if CloD had been in a better state than it was (and is) after the last patch.

As long as the game play problems are not solved, I'll not fly it again. If DCS-P51D comes out before AI, FM, DM and radio are fixed in CloD, I fear I'll not return to the MG series for quite some time.
