Im buying it.

No pre-order this time! Been playing IL2 since 2003 and this is the first time I won't pre-order. I'll be waiting till it hits the $5 bin. I've got EVE online taking up my time. New destroyers this winter!

I personally would secretly abuse every new patch for CloD to test some new functions (as an example: radio direction) and debug the old stuff at the same time. With that you get rid of old/new bugs for the new Game before selling it. That would make the sequel mostly bugfree and a financial success.

And if there are things that no one should know until the sequel comes out, you write a file with all allowed functions and use it to active only those. What's not written in there, can't be known or activated.

Sure thing here.

I was not satisfied with BoB and I'm not even really interested in BoM but I'll buy it and keep supporting the for:

They did their best they could to fix as much as possible of BoB and it's really looking way better than it initially was and also running smoother.

I'm looking forward to whatever comes after BoM (PT, MT, ET) and I'm aware that that will only be possible by our support and buying BoM when it comes out.

Although I'm not really interested in BoB, I still find it nice to have to make the package complete.

The sim has great potential and I don't see anybody bringing out a complex WWII sim the first 10 years or so.

Not a 2nd chance for me since I never bought CloD in the 1st place, but yah, why not? Will wait for reviews and expect more complexity á la DCS before deciding however, but in principle see no reason not to if it's good

I'm a bit in your boat Msalma, I wanted to buy a new computer for CoD (my old one has been an excellent gaming-machine for 10 years, run 1946 very well), but wanted to wait until CoD was stable and I could buy a combination of component that worked well. I guess now is the the time to start looking for that computer...

I'll buy CoD before BoM though, I need my Hurricane fix!

Your choices are simple.

1. Stick your neck out and buy it to find out.
2. Wait for reviews, especially from this community which will give you far more insight than a one-page magazine article.
3. Don't buy it and close the door on your way out.

I was happy to pay £50 for CoD just as a thank you for IL2. With BOM I'll want to wait until the game is in a good state. If that's at release, I'll buy it then. If it's 2 years down the line, that's when I'll buy it.

I'd trust 1C with my money again in a heartbeat, but only after I'd have read reviews and more importantly what people that has already bought the game say. I wouldn't buy it unseen at release-day (or preorder) at this point, but that might change if they impress me enough during the period up to the point of release.

I'll also add that I'm very hard to impress after CLoD, but we'll see what happens. Rome wasn't built in a day, the original IL2 wasn't good at day 1
