But since I have DCS World and pretty much spend most of my sim time flying DCS aircraft, both CloD and IL-2 BoX just take up space on my hard drive. But if I didn't have either of those sims, I might be playing CloD. If I didn't have DCS World, I would probably be flying IL-2 BoX. Additionally, the latest games like DCS World and IL-2 BoX support VR and generally have equal or better graphics. The problem is that despite great graphics and what seems to be a passable flight model, I still like Battle of Britain 2: Wings of Victory more for the excellent dogfight AI and the option to fly in full scale bomber interception battles where the sky is truly filled with Nazi bombers. really sensitive to very small stick movements, but that is not surprising considering the DCS World Spitfire Mk IX pretty much feels the same way. The graphics look very good, especially for such an older game. The patch was so big (8 GB) that it was effectively a new installation. Patch 4.54 was just released a few days ago. I never bought CloD until the relatively recent Steam Blitz edition offer popped up in December of 2017. I'm an offline player, so I can't comment on multiplay improvements, but from my read of posts the online play experience on the larger maps has been improved and is the main beneficiary of the app now being 64 bit. The things I've noticed are improved flight models, equivalent frame rates but with far better graphical detail and more realistic modelling in every regard - especially damage. I only flew CloD 4.312 for about 10 hours, but I've recently deeply immersed myself in Blitz and are really enjoying it. That may well be true for those who bought it from other sources too, but I wouldn't know for certain. Anyone who bought the original IL-2 CloD on Steam, receives Blitz for free.

This is the announcement thread from Team Fusion's announcement on the Air Tactical Assault Group website. The most significant change is that DirectX 11 support has been added and a complete recompile of the code as a 64 bit application.

For those who aren't, Blitz is Team Fusion patch 4.5 and has a number of significant improvements over Team Fusion 4.312 last & highest patch number for the original game.

I didn't see anything in the News or File Announcements forums, so I'm wondering if players who currently play, or have every played the series, are aware that Blitz was released last December, 2017.
