Very sweet thread, smashing pics !
And thx Blade for clarification on posting pics instead of just thumbnails. I had tried everything I could think of, and basically given up.
Cheers,
Slug

I personally do not compare BOX to CLOD or vice versus. I say this because IMHO they are just 2 different animals and I am so appreciative to have both being developed(now that 1C has gotten their act together with the BOX series) that I just want to support both Teams and enjoy the Excellent work they are producing. There are things in both that I am hoping for but overall for me as a SP person I am hoping both Teams will take on improving the AI and AI Command System because I believe doing this will bring in so many SPs that right now are disappointed in the Flight Sim AI in general. This. And great pics. Clod damage model amazes me every time. Wish it had a dynamic campaign.

Sorry for the stupid question, but how does this differ from IL2-BoS/BoM? Seems like Blitz is from the same guys as BoS/BoM?

i dont know the exact history but a quick rundown is - CLOD (cliffs of dovers) predates BOS/BOM by many a year and was done by Oleg and his team, 777 then brought out the IL2 brand and name and now handles the dev work and does BoS/BoM Team Fusion managed to get their hands on the CLOD source code (not sure how though, i think 777 gave it to them?) and they've been updateing it over the years and improving it, Blitz being their latest version Pretty basic history but i think thats the main points

IIRC, CloD wasn't very well recieved by the fans, right?
I guess my question is --- if I have BoS/BoM, what does Blitz have to offer? More of the same?

i cant remember what the reviews where like CLOD first came out, but the general impression i got was "looked great, but not didnt play as great", i've not heard anything bad the TF fixes though. I cant comment on what exactly it has to offer as i dont actually have either CLOD or BoS/Bom, i just know a little of the back story

I think the skins are included in Blitz... There are some new skins... but all the 'historical and correctly marked' skins have to be sought out as they are made by other users. There is of course the banning of certain historic symbols that will not come with the game... that includes historic RAF skins as well, as even 'kill marks' cannot be shown...

IIRC, CloD wasn't very well recieved by the fans, right?
Short version: BLITZ = too little, too late. - Despite all TFS work. Long version: Blitz was presented as new game (even in price), but but in essence is the same old CloD whit the same annoying bugs of original CloD - some "small" things, that will take only few minutes to be fixed*, like commands bad names (e.g. External View for two different functions), never receive attention. *I know because using Keygets DLL I fix this in "vanilla" CloD, just using Notepad - I know 0 of codding. Or "bug" with German Übungsmunition, a 7,92x57 bullet that in CloD is able to destroy tanks, can be fixed changing with Notepad the words: "Concussion" by "Thermal", but... https://www.tfbt.nuvturais.de/issues/803Fire/smoke/leakages/tracers effects - that was very good in original CloD (IMO the best ever seem in CFS), became "cheese" and despite please some don't win all "heart and minds". AI changing nothing... SP missions change nothing... nor new was added, a DCG include in 4.312 need be removed in Blitz due copyrights - is possible install manual, but it's still a downgrade. A Facebook post - deleted after - suggest that Source Code furnished by 1C don't included all fixes (and broken's) made by Lutier after OM bail out - Blitz "epileptic" propeller animation, typical of CloD early versions suggest this, as well the lack of various basic sounds (e.g. landing gear) or plane parts "frozen" in the air. Like CloD original, Blitz - despite the ~3 years development was released "raw". I guess my question is --- if I have BoS/BoM, what does Blitz have to offer? More of the same? Face what Bo'X now offer, BLITZ = [i]too little, too late.[/il] Just is not "more of the same" but different, with plus and minus, if one care in fly in early Spit, Hurri in Channel area - but 'B of B' are not really there, may worth the $25. CloD/Blitz still worth from MP point of view, for SP - despite show potential, the several flaws make the experience frustrating. FYI - I a not a CloD hatter, have this game installed since 04/2011, enjoy much more a 'B o B' scenery than later war ETO (Normandy, Bodenplate, etc.) scenery. Know CloD issues very well, including pointing issues like the Noseart bug, and actually have 4 versions in my HDD (one, the early no longer working due Win10), but time has made me pessimist about.

This is still my "go to" sim when I want to fly WW2 airplanes. I picked up Stalingrad during the Christmas sale and it's okay, but it hasn't really grabbed me. I know that I'm not interested in the Russian Front, or in Soviet airplanes, but it looked so good that I had to try it out. But if it wasn't for the P-40 collector plane I also purchased, I might not be flying it at all. And that Stalingrad map is a bit barren. Might make a good North Africa scenerio when the P-39 and A20 come out. But right now, it is really boring to fly over.
I find the SP combat in CLOD just fine. The ai don't behave any differently then in just about any other flight sim I've used. I've gotten my butt kicked several times so they aren't all that bad. Unless I just completly suck! And I've never had the prop or flying parts issue that was mentioned. Runs perfectly for me.
But I have high hopes for Bodenplatte. And I'm still actually thinking of buying Kuban so that I can fly the Aircobra and Havoc.
But I still think that CLOD is an amazingly immersive flight sim experience.

I have to say, I think the CLOD cockpits are the best or at least tied with the DCS cockpits. Love the detail and click ability. ![[Linked Image]](http://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/download/Number/6725/filename/81.jpg)
