Im intruiged, but I feel that as a kickstarter, their pitch is really really weak.
They didn't sell me on a vision. What they want for their game. They essentially said "we'll have great planes, look at these people, they tell you why they love the game now fund us!"
I need to know what the game I'm gonna be investing will be like! The video did none of that. Should have tried to tell me why I should back this one over say, IL-2 BOS. Plus, to be honest 100k doesn't seem like an especially large ammount. Not sure what to feel about it. While I agree with the starting pitch, I'm sure they'll follow with more info, or else even the 100k will be hard to reach.

But those planes went into production in 1944? And the name of this sim is DCS WWII: 1944, not DCS WWII: D-Day? Are you confused? Trying too hard to find fault are we? I find very comical the set of flyable aircraft chosen by these guys and their historical Inaccuracy (and the lack of research by these guys)!
Lets see, the map of this DCS WWII: Europe 1944 will be Normandy which means that we're talking about D-Day and probably the preceding months (Allied gaining Air Superiority over Northern France, namely Normandy), right? Than WHY OF HELL ON EARTH that the flyable Luftwaffe aircraft (and variants) and the Focke-Wulf FW190D-9 and the Messerschmitt Bf-109K-4 being that the production for both aircraft only stated on August 1944 (well after the D-Day invasion) and only entered in service after this date?!
Things like this and the lack of dynamic campaigns means NO THANKS for me! It's the usual ricnunes post, don't get too bothered by it. As for the people crying for Oleg trying to remind us of CloDs failure, they seem to forget who made Il-2. So if someone kicks you in the balls, do you stand there and say 'go on do it again' or cover yourself and be wary?...

So are we getting the 109K or the 109G?
Im sure Luthier said earlier in the week we are getting the 109K, but in the kickstarter info it says in 2 places its the 109G, must be a typo.
Personally i hope its the G

I was under the impression CLoD has several External "Issues" that contributed to the state it was in when it was released.

Good stuff, and I always look forward to what you have to share. I know you had a rough time with a lot of unemployment, divorce etc so it's good to see your regular posts and that things are now all ok. How's Total Rome 2 - any good?

Say all you want about the state of COD at release, but the bottom line is, a great sandbox was created by the developer, for mod teams like, Team Fusion, who are in the process of proving just how good the potential of COD was.

[admin edit: no personal attacks] I have about 12 hours on CloD, give or take, and I've never posted anything in defense of it in the forum, so I don't think I qualify as a fanboy. I'm not a hater either though. The two posts you've made at the beginning weren't just about being wary.

I haven't enjoyed myself this much here since the heady days of the CloD release day.  XIII - good question, but I did make sure the kid on the right had fanbois spectacles on, so there's that. Remon - 12 hours! Mace has 11 hours (we're Steam friends, and I just looked).
