Would have been great to have flown a Spitfire campaign that started in Cliff of Dover and ended with the DCS Normandy map. But, alas, I think we shall never see this. You may not even see that Spitfire for another five years.

I can't help noticing how much that looks like Cliffs of Dover when it first came out. Same graphics engine?

Cliffs of Dover was a heavily rewritten iteration of the old Il-2 engine from what I could tell. I'm uncertain just how much it was linked to it, but it was DX10 on release I believe.
DCS uses an iteration of the engine that has existed since it was in LOMAC, if not Flanker 2 before it, and only became DX11 recently.

However, it would not surprise me if some of the art team who worked on CloD found their way to work on the Normandy terrain after the dissolution of that team when 1CGS was created to make the new Il-2 using an iteration of the ROF engine.

That's most likely the case. Some of the dead 1C team, which worked with Luthier on CloD, moved to his RRG studio for the DCS Normandy project, and when that studio went tits up, some of them ended up continuing work, but this time for ED.
ED also has at least one ex-CloD-man working on revised damage model for all DCS warbirds nowadays. It's a small world, especially given the niche business, and all these programmers/artists living in Russia anyway.

I look forward to doing CA with WWII units. I really liked playing WWII Online back in the day, but really just the armor, the infantry was clunky.

I played a lot of Red Orchestra's armor maps when it came out before it got stale. A good WWII armor experience, with the addition of planes overhead, will be great if it works as expected.

I'm not really digging the filter that they used, it looks more like a painting than actual Normandy.

Oh well, as long as other people enjoy it, I suppose smile

Look's CloD's visuals (minus the shimmering rolleyes) but with more detailed landscape, e.g. coastline.
