Im not moping Uther, in fact ive done a couple of hours flying this weekend with the new Nvidia drivers and it looked much much better. smile Im hopeful the online game will be good enough IF we get COOP's.

Its just the "Battle of Britain" is my favorite area, i must have read about 50 books on it, raised my hopes too much i guess.

Just not "Storm of War: Battle of Britain" like it was originally going to be called. Something more like "Sprinkles of War: Skirmishes over the Channel" would be more appropriate. thumbsup

I sympathize with you Furbs. I could add my own lamentations but i would just be repeating what you and others have said. sigh

The Battle of Britain is one of the great battles of all time, first to be fought entirely by aircraft right? But anyway, I too am hoping

with the patch and good COOPS we will still get some fun BOB immersion. Personally I never got BOB II WOV because I decided to wait for CoD

instead, Now I may in fact pick up a copy of BOB II for the campaign and I guess more strategic aspects. For me its not about the money, I could

get them all, but who has time to play them all ? cheers

When you fire up CLOD there is NOTHING in the game that makes you feel your taking part in the Battle of Britian, no history, no immersion and the GUI is cold and uninviting, nothing that draws you to single player.



If you want that you are looking in the wrong place. You should get BoBII if you really want that.
IL2 has never really done offline well IMO.


I would say the IL-2 1946 offline experience is still 1000sX better than CoD's at the moment. Try some of FlatSpinMan's campaigns (other than being on wrong maps, lol).
