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.
