While we wait for Dart to complete his review, here is Tom "WLINK" Cofield's opinion piece on the roll-out of IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover. http://www.simhq.com/_air13/air_499a.html

WTF were they thinking. Failure to prepare is preparing to fail. The project leads, or those responsible for development, QA, and PR, deserve to be out of a job.

Tom has another piece up today, which is a review of what we have as newly-published "alternative offering" to CoD: Rising Sun - Phase 2 (built on the Strike fighters engine) http://www.simhq.com/_air13/air_478a.html- It is a good read that puts things into perspective.

Well done, but by this time certainly not news. Like Tom, my hope is based on ten years of great IL-2 experiences. No guarantees, but the hope is there. 1C, I know you can do it.
The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

The article imo is realistic and fair, it is just about 2 weeks too early!, so that the first patch, that isnt a shot from the hip, isn't reflected by it. IF the patch is all that they say it is then I will be more than happy to put out another article. I don't have anything against the game or 1C, Lord knows I have been one of their biggest fans since I first saw the preview of IL2 10 years ago. As for the other post, I don't drink.....whine......

From the article: Look, I do not really doubt that 1C, Ilya or Oleg really wanted to release CoD in a relatively messed up state Do you really want to say that 1C, Ilya and Oled wanted to release a buggy game? As I'm no native speaker, I'm not quite sure about this.
