The only aspect of COD I don't see the developer continue to work on are the Campaigns and Missions for COD. The existing FMB and any updates to the FMB gives the community more than enough tools to make very good campaigns, and missions, just as they were done in the original series. New aircraft will be added to COD thru those developed for other theaters and from the SDK that will be provided by the developer to the community.
They still don't have a bonafide "career" system - medals, promotions, etc. - unless I missed something recently. Even with the FMB and everything else getting fixed, without a career system, CloD is still lacking something

If its not repeated adnausem and worded respectfully I don't have a problem with it. Sorry Chivas, its late and had a beer or two. my post is not really directed at you. I dont have a problem with your posts. night all.

I can see them improving the career system as it will effect all future theaters including COD. When I look at how much the developer has accomplished so far I am impressed, but its going to take along time to address all the other aspects that aren't working or not implemented yet.

TBH, I believe the BoB campaign was too short for much of a true career system. For the most part, investigation of claims, approval and awards took a long time in the LW, not sure how the RAF was. That with the 3 month span of time we're looking at, didn't leave brass much time in the way of official reviews. I know some people were awarded medals for actions during BoB, but for the most part, they were post-battle. Field promotions did take place, due to replacement of losses, but even they were temporary in nature, until after October. I can't remember ever reading about anyone presented awards while the battle was still going, although I could be wrong (need Ivan or Stern who might know better).

Well certainly different from the LW, where it took months, and sometimes years to get recommended, researched, reviewed, and approved. Just for curiosity, and see how different the RAF did it, what dates were those awards you posted for?

I imagine the RAF would have wanted citations to be given as soon as possible for moral boosting purposes.

That's not bad, and certainly understandable about the morale purposes, both to the pilots and the population suffering under attacks. Were any field promotions also handed out mid-battle?

I imagine the RAF would have wanted citations to be given as soon as possible for moral boosting purposes. I know of one case where a squadron in North Africa had its CO on a transport plane that was lost. As a result, no one got the awards or commendations that had been assigned to them. However, BoB may have been different (much closer to command) and it is better to give out awards to pilots before they are killed (the award shipment arriving after tends to be bad for morale)?
