Have to disagree there John
After less than a month my game was relegated to the bottom of a pile until I blundered on here
Without the mods I would have given up a long time ago
No its not too much to expect a game to be playable out of the box without a series of patches that not only improved things but made others worse - the camera " bounce " on land units after the 1.4 patch IIRC
Groundbreaking it may have been but why do half a job ?
Yes time and money are a constraint but apart from the obvious bugs where are the wolfpacks and why the hell are the axis nations all using C2/C3/T2 and T3 ships ?
A little attention to detail would have been nice and a greater stock of included ships without expecting the community to pick up after them
There are a huge number of ppl that dont even know this site and mods exist
Ask them how they feel about the game - its easy to say the stock game isnt that bad but it is
After a reinstall the other week I had a patrol in the stock game
Didnt even play for half an hour before installing some mods
And I have no doubt we will be having this conversation after SHIV is released
I can fully understand dudtorpedo's frustrations
He may not have expressed himself in the right way but there is no denying the fact the stock game is woeful at best
