Well I got it running on my rig but only after putting in a new gfx card.

No more error messages, it just CTD's without telling me now.

Does anyone else feel that this has been the most borked game launch this decade?

Yes appears to be worse than SH5 even-I am feeling let down myself.

I was just looking through the Trivia on IMDB for the film Battle of Britain, and I think I found the Spitfires and Hurricanes that Olegs team recorded the engine noises from:

Quote:
Many mock-ups of Spitfires and Hurricanes were made in the months prior to filming. Some had lawn mower engines fitted and could be taxied around the airfield, but if they braked too hard they would flip up onto their nose. This happened several times in front of the cameras and some of the footage was eventually used in the film.

Just installed myself a new HD 5380 and CoD now runs very nicely compared to my old 9800GT, I think the patch helped too but it's now perfectly playable for me

This is why I play Rowan's Battle of Britian (or Wings of Victory, BOB the newest release of Rowan's game.)

I like the realist FMs and the fact that the German bomber streams are 100s of aircrafts and not the few in Oleg's Game.

Yup, BoB II: Wings of Victory still holds the crown for the best SP WWII combat flightsim.

Sounds like the best advice is to hold off for awhile on picking up CoD ?

Yes,

Give it time to see if they actually manage to improve the game.
I was very eager to buy but the last news right before the release pulled me off and I decided to scrap it for now and give it a another look when I start to hear some good news.

The graphics are in it's own league, they look waaay better then CFS3 thought...IL2 has some thing look good and some things bad...BoBII has the same some things look better in BoBII (IE: the ground textures and the effects) the aircraft in both games imo look very similar graphic wise

to give you an impression of the graphics here are some screenshots in a thread I made a while back:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=156511

and here's a video:


however the slight bit of sacrife it may have over IL2 in graphics it blows IL2 straight out of the sky in the most important parts of BoBII which are: Atmosphere, AI, and the Campaign all together they actually make you feel like your fighting in the battle of Britain..they recreate the battle in their respected numbers where raids of german bombers with escort come in huge numbers...unlike IL2 where you might shoot down a couple of planes that are flown by AI that are so dull and outcheat you whenever possible (clims, turns etc) and call it a day.
