I disagree with that. There are still a few CTD-type bugs in the game like:

Fly off the world CTD

CTD when Database button is depressed

Players may not think that they are experiencing bugs, but they are simply encountering them unwittingly since many of them affect the AI and its behaviour.

For example, you might find that you can easily penetrate AI defences and you could think that you must be one heckuva sub driver, right? Wrong. The AI is simply so crippled that even when it has you detected and locked up, it won't fire. You may think of yourself as Otto Kretchmer, but it simply isn't so.

Or, you could blast the heck out of a CVBG without ever knowing that the reason why it is so easy to 'kill' it is because the AI simply cannot launch planes in its own defence.

Just because a player isn't aware that he is encountering a bug doesn't mean that the bug doesn't affect him.
