well last time I checked I didn't see any La5 in the MTO or PTO, so the ring tightens to that part of the world that has very dull landscapes and aeroplanes that nobody but a certain (read Russian) customer base gives a rat's bottom about..

Look at the bottom of page 26. No you won't see an attractive girl, but you will see something which is quite definately not Moscow.

No idea, and to be honest it's a bit of a nonsense strategy, since the rest of the world is kind of a bigger market.. but hey, what do we know about marketing for simulators? They're doing such a spiffing job as it is, innit? ;)

If the game engine is fixed, it will make room for the addition of clouds, and improvement to stability, FPS, AI, Commands, FM, DM, terrain, etc that can be applied to COD and any other theater. If they are unable to fix the game engine the development will be shut down by its investors.

Thanks for cheering us all up Chivas!

Everyone on here was absolutely ecstatic until you said that. ;)

Well that's the big plus with the clod engine. It does have to be fixed to make any subsequent game for it. The only other option is starting completely from scratch, but I doubt that will happen.

I'm just hoping for some real clarity. Or maybe they're just tired of hearing all the moaning are gonna wait to it's where they want it to release anything to us anymore. As long as the "work continues" I'll wait. I just don't want to see a post saying it's been abandoned.

I don't understand the Russian psychology of "looking inwards", i always thought there's be more sales in the west ? Does BfM disprove that? Maybe poor Clod sales has forced them to look inwards? But if the game had been released later and more stable, maybe they would have got more sales in the west ?

If they're thinking about reducing aero quality and content to add land based warfare, I won't be in that .. if i want to fight Kursk, I'll go world of tanks, thank you.

BTW, if the INVESTORS are concerned about costs, open the game up to modders (users). I'm sure most bugs will be fixed pronto - at no cost, and more features will be added - at no cost .. Although Version control might be a nightmare! LOL! :)
