You may want to hold on to your money, for a little while at least.

Basically, in the last minutes of development, Ubisoft (western distributors for the game, also arse holes) have forced upon 1C Maddox (publisher) a requirement to add in some sort of anti-epiliptic filter. The effects have been confirmed as disastrous, by a member of the dev team. Not only will it affect the visuals of the game, but also the performance. How much will this hurt you? Looks like the old stated system reqs. are void, and we are forced to see how this will run. They also don't have time to fix all of the issues before the EU release NEXT WEEK. So issues will be fixed one by one post release, if possible at all.

I wouldn't have been able to run the game anyway, but i will definitely now wait and see how this turns out, before investing in a new PC.

What an anti climax - all these years waiting for the next generation of combat simulator from the best publishers of ww2 air combat sims, and then this happens.
 
Well, they're saying the Russian version of the game (Ubi does not distribute in Russia) will have the option to turn the filter off, and so they will enjoy the game in all of the intended beauty.

However, the filter will not be switchable in EU/US etc, and will affect the games performance/visuals adversely. They are going to be patching the game as and when, to address the issues in the game that would cause epileptic fits, and the filter will be removed when that process is complete - could be months. Not only that, but the game will be visually different - and in my guess lacking - compared to what should have been released.

We'll see.
