If you don't realize the changes in the game from your "stops to try it" then you certainly are not trying the game enough to know whats here, let alone whats new.
The game gets updates almost every quarter, new planes, vehicles and such. Graphic updates on art work in the game. Game play has changed due to arena caps and splitting of the arenas into early , mid, and late war arenas.
CT is in "alpha" testing and is moving along. "when" it will be released is a running joke.... 2 weeks. Me, I believe it will be released when its ready, and not a minute before. I'm sure HTC saw what happened at WWII On-Line and all the troubles they had there, along with the loss of a large part of their customer base.
This game is the fun YOU make. You want to try a WWII flight game, you'll find none better. If thats not what your looking for, then you are free to look at others. But don't come on these boards are "thrash talk" the game and expect civil answers to your questions.
