SAS Forum Team Re: Why I dumped COD and decided to stick to modded IL-2

This game release is the *Worst* I've ever seen.... Literally.

I am playing games since the early '80s, and never in my entire life i have seen something like this. Its not even an amateur attempt, its lower than this.
A friend of mine was anxious to get it from the Russian site for around 10-14 euros, i don't remember exactly. But what i have seen is FUBAR big time.

I have repeatedly told him to wait but he insisted to download it since it was cheap. Anyway...

His PC Specs are the following:

ATI HD 5900 Graphics card 1GB of memory.
Intel I7 Quad core.
6GB DDR3 Fast Ram.
SSD HD.

Now, to play the game in an acceptable Frame ratio and without stutters, even with the epilepsy filter off, we had to lower everything to Medium and you could fly alone ok.
Whenever we decided to fly low over sea, stuttering was there. Now, we had the idea to make a DF with around 12-16 planes and the game was UN-PLAYABLE!!
In Medium settings the game was Un-Playable. It was like a slide-show! As if we were watching power-point presentation especially when you were dog fighting low above sea.

To be somehow playable in a Dog-Fight with ~12 planes we had to reduce almost EVERYTHING in LOW graphics settings. And there of course it was like IL2, but in IL2 the FPS and responsiveness is ten times greater. Not to mention the cartoon-like map. Il2' modded ones are of much better quality and look more natural.

Sorry guys, this is what I saw today. For me this is the *Worst* "Official" release of a game in my entire life. Even for an early beta is problematic.

And i don't buy the things that: "If CoD fails the WWII Flight Sim industry will die", etc...
So what? Should we close our eyes and APPLAUSE this crap? Whats the point of doing this? Whats the point of lying 5 whole years and finally releasing an Unfinished not even Pre-Alpha beta version of a game? The publishers know that if they make something good people will embrace it, period.
But what they have done instead of making a good quality product that people will embrace because of its *QUALITY*?
They have simply built on the IL2 community and they thought that IL2's name was enough for CoD to succeed, since its IL2's sequel. They simply did not care to make a high quality product but rather patronize the IL2 community to buy it regardless of its quality or level of completion thinking to persuade the community by promising patches to correct what should be ready for an official release. And the sad part of this is that they call the patches "optimizing" ones.Optimize what?
You optimize something that is fully working and not something that is not.

And last we have IL2 which has many years of life and the CoD that will get modded in the future, don't forget this. And it will get modded with or without official tools.
This way it will enjoy Il2 life span and money will get into the developers pockets. And then I will happily buy and support it.
