Pearl Harbour? Needs more Mk V :03:

Found a Cliffs of Dover video that links to a whole bunch of Michal Jackson and SH5 vids.... wonder if this is premonition... :hmmm:

That model is, I think for a RAF Campaign mission where you ask a girl on a date. I can't be sure though, it never actually happens because the RAF campaign is bugged. No matter what actually happens during the mission, you will get "Battle Failure" as a result. Even in a mission where you only need to check out on a Spit.. :nope:

Anyone know if it will run on my system? Here are my stats:

Windows 7 64-bit

Processor: Intel Core i5 CPU 650 @3.5 GHz

Installed Memory (Ram): 8 GB

Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 5600

the game is released, but has major bug problems.

Currenlty I'm playing ROF and enjoy the WW1 planes however I enjoy WW2 planes much better. I'm undecided to get ROF or COD. Is COD salvagable?

Id get ROF now, and if things get better id get CoD later, as from what I hear now it needs a lot of work. (or as some have said, IL2 with fancy graphics)

More like: IL2 with dumber AI and graphics that make your PC puke in pain even if you make the game look worse than stock IL2. :nope:

It's a real mess.

I'm playing the demo of RoF now. It is enjoyable. I have my X52 working on Vista64 and my original TrackIR is working as well however I need to get the reflective material. It is fun sputtering along.


I have read some nightmares concerning CoD. The numerous years put into the game plus what was known already from IL2, CoD should have come out bug free IMO.

I've got ROF but not currently installed...gonna wait till I buy my new computer and start it up then. ROF is one good looking game if your computer can handle it, and from what I can gather, the support from the dev-team is more than impressive, adding new stuff at a reasonably regular basis. Apparently they're working on Photo/Reconnaissance planes with cameras and Airborne telegraph.

Given a little time, I'm sure that ROF will become the IL-2 of WWI. They already include (although you hafta buy them) airplanes I've never seen in any game before, like the Sopwith Dolphin! Who knows what they'll add to the future? D.H.9? R.E.8? Sopwith Snipe? Keep an eye on this one lads!:DL

Otherwise, one can always take a look on Over Flanders Fields, but I refuse to touch it after our little run-in with their community some years ago...even I got principles:haha: (And it's the CFS3 engine, so yeah, it's a MOD, not a game...):O:

My most favorite was CFS2. CFS3 fizzled out of the box for me. I did enjoy IL2 but gave it up when I went to Vista. Looking at CoD it does not look like much has changed since IL2. I just read that CoD is unplayable. So that is that. I'm not doing the beta testing. Currently the RoF demo I'm using is very nice. I have 14 day trial and will decide if I want the full version or not. I just get tired of sticks, tracking and keyboard all over the place just to fly a virtual plane. :haha:

Good God....performance issues aside...I've just been reading about the campaigns.

*Spoiler alert*

Not only do the mission debriefings seem not to correlate with what actually happens in the mission (ie the debriefing claims you were shot down when you weren't) but it seems that what I hoped and prayed was a mistranslation was in fact not. I have discovered the 'renegade pilots'.
It seems that the culmination of the RAF campaign involves you shooting down a wingman, I honestly don't know why, although the whole Spitfire girl seems to be a part of it...

You see...the noise you now might be hearing is me vomiting. I mean...seriously...what the hell have Oleg and his team actually been doing? Because I don't think they have read a single book on the Battle of Britain, or indeed watched a single film...except perhaps Pearl Harbour, and we all know how factually based that film was.

I would not have minded not having a Dynamic Campaign if they had actually given a decent campaign that dealt with the Battle of Britain, from Convoys, to Aldertag, to the Critical Period and on to the Blitz, with no shooting down of wingmen (aside from the odd blue on blue which is historically accurate), no Spitfire girls, and more than fifty aircraft in the air at one time.

Thank god for BOBII, that's all I can say, and a nicely modded IL2 1946. I don't think CLOD is going to be playable for a year at least, what with sorting out the performance issues and then getting some decent player made campaigns out, and mods for the sounds.

I can't believe how badly wrong they got it. Completely unbelievable. :nope:

the game has potential but it needs major fixing first.
it doesnt mather if you run it in low or high graphics it keeps lagging like hell.

Yes..as of 11:41 14th April 2011...CRAP! Buy DCS A-10....a dream of a sim.

That's true, but every add-on costs you! And there not cheap either.
