Sounds like some of the issues from IL-2 are still there, in addition to some new ones. I can wait for patches and such to fix technical problems, but I'm worried that there are still some things where the answer is "you is wrong: it's not a bug, it's a feature".

Is there any word on the street about the AI? I'm a huge fan of IL-2, but what has always annoyed me is that it essentially is an online sim. Whereas I am a dedicated single player. I don't want to see again, how Russian I-16s dogfight with a German Bf-109 at the altitude of 7,000 meters with no problems whatsoever. I don't want clouds that I can't hide in, because for the AI they don't exist. Or, most of all, AI that has no idea how to fly anything but single type of planes. I still remember how in a DCG-generated mission half of the Luftwaffe was wiped out in the first battles of Smolensk, because the AI thought that the Bf-109 is at its best when turn fighting at the treetop level. We, the mighty fleet of flying barrels of vodka (the Polikarpov I-16s) lost exactly three planes and I swear one of them managed to kill itself by crashing to the ground.

If the situation is still similar in this sim, I'll have to pass. Off to do some forum research I am...
