Well, that's not really the same thing at all. This isn't about not getting better things, it's more about the quality of what's available. Compared to other sims, DCS certainly does very well in some aspects, but what they're messing up the most is simply the basics.

E.g. I don't see any fun in WW2 dogfights anymore. Sure, maybe the FM is the best in the world, but basics such as the FM used by the AI, the low quality DM (which is even lower quality when the AI gets it), the devs continuously neglecting to overhaul the virtual eyesight, the AI trying to fly their props like they're in F-16s (ever wondered why the AI will climb to get away, despite always stalling halfway through the loop? Try dogfighting an AI F-16 and you'll see them actually pulling of the maneuver, because modern planes are the only ones they're actually proficient in flying ATM).

These things are basics, and the WW2 planes illustrate it the best since they're the ones worst affected by it. Pete's sake, the AI even calls out radar locks and such in the WW2 planes. The issues I've listed are obvious quality flaws; The message I took home from that article isn't that a customer should ignore quality issues despite having bought what is labeled as the very best on the market.

What you always forget when you bring this stuff up over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over is that we don't have a WWII environment yet, its in work. So no we dont have proper 1944 communication, navigation, etc etc... I would expect much of that to come with Normandy. The AI and Damage is a much larger issue and both are well aware to the devs, but they are in the middle of a few other things right now, 2.0 goes a long way for clearing a path to other improvements that might not have been possible, or at least more difficult before... Its back to the foundation, Don't rebuild the house the go back and tear it down to rebuild the foundation and have to rebuild the house again.

I mentioned this in another thread but since you seem to be part of the ED team, I want post this which is somehow related to what Scrim mentioned about ED "failing on the basics" and also related to WWII and followed by a couple of questions:
- According to your (ED) WWII plan, DCS World (WWII world) will come with a Normandy map, with the following flyable aircraft: P-51D, Spitfire Mk.IX, P-47 (don't remember which version) for the Allied side and the FW-190D, BF-109K and Me-262 for the Axis side. So my questions are:
Are you aware that all flyable Axis aircraft (FW-190D, BF-109K and Me-262) don't historically and therefore realistically fit on the Normandy map? I hope you are aware of this.
If you are aware of this (which again, I hope) what are you plans to solve this "issue"?

If I'm allowed, I want to give you a suggestion which I gave in an another thread:
- Instead of making a Normandy map, make a Bulge map instead since in this map all the flyable aircraft would perfectly fit in terms of historical realism.

Hey, who am I to say WW2 lingo, navigation, etc. won't come with the Normandy map? I mean, I didn't even mention it...

Please don't make excuses for what we've got now. The P-51D has been out how long now, 3 years? It demonstrated every. Single. One. Of the issues I mentioned. Everything I mentioned has been quite easy to see for years, it's nothing new. The reason I mentioned the WW2 planes is that as I stated that they display the issues the most, so if anyone isn't sure they can take a look and see for themselves. That being said, later planes also display many of the issues, e.g. the MiG-15 will also attempt loops it has nowhere near enough power for as an escape, which is weird considering the -15s well known reputation to enter rather dangerous spins with no warning when it stalled. It's rather obvious that no matter what plane the AI flies, they still resort to the same methods instead of trying to utilize the strengths of the particular plane they're in. -190s will happily try scissors with the Mustang, etc.

As you say, the AI and DM are well known to be lacking, but that's hardly new either. In fact, it's been known for years. And what would EDGE to do fix it? Last time I checked, it was a graphics engine?

Edge is just the Edge of the list of changes.
