PS Maiornikov I wonder what you meant when you said that you hoped that MS would not mess thing up like IL2 did when they added Pacific Fighter to there program.

Do not get me wrong I have my issues with that program myself. I just want to know what your point of view.

Thank you

Yes i don't get you wrong, here is my opinion:
1-it messed my ping, before i played il-2 for hours and never got a timeout message, but when installed the PF the multiplayer became horribly unstable, after 1 min approx. i always got a red bar and a message kicked due timeout or something like that.
2-The merged and stand alone version, the community was devided by this fact. some stayed stand alone and some merged. And the programmers didnt do nothing to atleast try to make the both versions compatible for online play.
3-The terrain graphics, especially pacific ocean waters. Don't get me wrong i have a pretty decent computer for this game. But the graphics just sucked for me ( CFS3 on the other hand i play almost on max and never get a slight lag or timeout) But pacific fighter its a complete different story.
4-The flight models became horribly stacked to american side( russian and german planes were left behind) You can read alot of comments o their official site ( been there but decided to leave because the community became nothing but whiners)

So this is pretty much my story . Sorry for few examples but its been 6 months since i last played IL-2 series so i came with this from the buttom of my head.

sorry heres a couple more.
1- the customisation aspect of cfs3 is a big up for cfs3. Unlike il-2 (and numerous requests to make it customisation friendly), cfs3 gives a potential for alot of talented designers like ground crew and others to actually mod the game.
2-the effect aspect in cfs3 is way superior to il-2 (like eject and numerous other effects such as explosions ,etc.)
3-the towns actually look like town in cfs3. in il-2 it just sucks. they all look the same and evebtually it gets boring.
4- the campaign is way more interesting in cfs3 than the campaign in il-2.

here it is, maybe later ill come up with some more.

oh p.s. the devs of il-2 really don't keep their promises. I mean they always say a patch will come up in 2 weeks and when the release is near they always use the same excuse. Someone is sick and we can't release this patch because of it. And this same stuff happened alot of times already. So i got sick of the game and just switched to cfs3 and so far enjoying it.

Don't start this thread, it'll lead to wars  >:(

wow relax first i didnt second i just stated my opinions of the game. So if you disagree then i just have to say, i don't care.
