ostfront was unrealistically difficult, and I will admit, that was a huge reason i liked the game. I play games for fun, and not realism. to me, ostfront was fun because of the unrealistic challenge it gave players (smgs are useless past 10 meters, bolts suck unless you have weapon rest, semi autos aren't that accurate past 50 or so meters, etc.). hoes is also extremely fun, and it just so happens that it is more realistic
smgs are designed to shoot up to 100 meters accurately, and that is exactly what they do in this game. bolts are supposed to be better than smgs only past 100 meters, as they are in this game(for the most part, unless you are a very skilled bolter). and semi autos are actually supposed to be just as accurate as bolts, and they are in this game. most of stalingrad was cqb like the maps are here for the most part
if you feel its too run and gun, twi is releasing mod tools, so you will have maps like berezina popping up within a year. on the other hand, for a game like bf3, if you dont like the maps all you do is wait a few months and shell out $15 for official maps every few months. for me, some of the best maps on ostfront were the custom ones-leningrad, kreigstadt, berezina and redgodofwar among others
performance wise, i cant speak for others, but the game is running just fine for me. I have had very few crashes and no bugs since the latest build. All i ask is for them to fix the map voting, show weapon class and fix the ping on the scoreboard, and let us sort the server browser by players, maps, and server name.
