Thanks Luthier. I'm sorry the dream didn't work out in the end. It's been quite a trip over the last few years.

I wish you the very best for the future.

I wish You the Best.
And once again - Thank You.

:rolleyes:

Thanx man... wow.. feels kind of surreal... the "two big names" of IL2, the pair that fronted the series; Oleg and Luthier... gone.

Thank you mate for all the love you have put into your work... your's and the team's result, especially Il21946 series, have given me and my squad mates countless hours of joy..

Take care and good fortune!

Good luck, Ilya!

Thank you Ilya for everything. I enjoyed IL-2 series, especially online wars like CAD and Air Force War. Now that those wars are over and nothing like them is in sight maybe I should quit the stage too. All the best with whatever you will do in your life. SALUTE!

Wow I thought this might have just been averted.

Very sad indeed :(

Luthier, thanks for your classy goodbye. It is a sad day for everyone. I have played the IL2 series from day one and really enjoyed Pacific Fighters so thanks for that.

When I first heard about Storm of War and started seeing the amazing updates I thought it sounded too good to be true. Turns out I was right and I’m not happy about it. In our culture of 24/7 news I think many of us would love to know the whole story…when it all went wrong and what finally killed it. Not for blame but for closure. Many of us feel we have been part of the IL2 family and would like to understand how this happened. I would image it was all about money…it usually is. And that you were handed the wheel to the Titanic after it hit the iceberg. Anyway, sorry to see the end of CLoD and your association with IL2.

Good luck Luthier!

Is very sad day for me
Ilya Thanks for everything and for your hard work!
the latest patch is a great achievement, I decided to buy, then I play online smooth.
The project was huge.

"The Channel"
Water in the middle ................and goodbye to ground combat.. "Marketing" ??
The main mistake was the choice of esenario. ( Channel and London)

Make a Shooter game, only British against Germans.
Is doomed to failure for lack of buyers
How Many Russians, would buy that Shooter game??? - Marketing ??
Ok the shooters are popular, any child under 12 years tightened the trigger....

But
Cliff lack
Rusian Planes
NO P40
NO P39
NO P38
NO P51
How many guys like me, was going to buy the game ??

VVS vs Luftwaffe
USAF vs Lutwaffe
With these aircraft had been marketing a success.

Had a huge problem with common sense.
We must choose a popular Combat esenario.

Best Regards and Good Luck Ilya.
