In Defense of CLOD, there is a new patch that's been out for a short while that GREATLY improves the experience.  I bought the game just to try out the patch, and I've been beyond impressed with it so far.   It's called the "Team Fusion Mod", and Simhq did a 6 page review on it a couple months back, and it's still on their front page.  If you're bored and looking for a really impressive single player WW2 game, it has a lot to offer you IMO.   Does it replace AH2, absolutely not, but every now and then I want to play a campaign style game or setup some massive intercepts etc, and it's the best thing I've found so far, even though I've been following the new IL2 Stalingrad development closely, as I'll probably switch to that.  That said, CLOD being as disappointing as it was on release, is a whole new game with the mod.  Read the review and decide yourself.  There are lots of Utube vids of the mod in action as well to check out.

edit - If you do try it out, get the Redux Campaign mod for the BoB as well, it's amazing, and really makes the battles much larger and better.  I got the game for 5$ on sale on Steam by the way as well, so for 5$, it's an incredible value IMO.

You can play it online too. Persistent servers with up to a hundred players.

Il-2 Sturmovik
http://il2sturmovik.com/

"This new entry into this series will offer virtual pilots and players an even more accurate reproduction of the legendary air battles of World War II. A new, higher level of physics modeling, damage modeling and aerodynamics has been achieved. Battle of Stalingrad will include several famous aircraft that have been recreated from detailed drawings and blueprints and they will fly over the most ambitious and detailed reconstruction ever attempted in a flight-sim of the most critical battle on the Eastern Front."

 :cheers:

 I was going to give it it's own post and it and forgot

Ty,

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Those screenshots look beautiful. I really like that they don't have those annoying instagram-esque filters with the stupid vignette and everything all over them. Hopefully that won't get slapped on later.

That's an interesting way to get around the "no swastikas" thing. Looks a lot better than leaving the surface blank.

Incidentally, I did some reading about that recently and it appears that a couple years ago, video games HAVE been added to the list of media where depiction of the insignia is allowed by German law. I guess game developers are either not caught up on that yet, or are still being cautious.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I need to work on my sarcasm abit I guess..  For this or that, we pay money here or pay money there.. I don't see a difference..

nop, been paying over 10 years so you can do the math lol. It is just that some guys see everything as an attack to AH and imedietly run to defend it. Some still waiting for the invite to xmash party lol.

How about French law?

I believe the issue was both Germany and France.

I know it is not an issue in the US, UK or Canada.

No changes had been made to §§86 and §§86 StGB. The exceptions are still only
" shall not be applicable if the means of propaganda or the act serves to further civil enlightenment, to avert unconstitutional aims, to promote art or science, research or teaching, reporting about current historical events or similar purposes."

Computer games like Il-2 do not run under 'arts' or 'teaching' in this context.

Maybe we older subscribers (10years or more) should get our own set of skins or even a special plane...
