good words SG1_Gunkan! I agree with you!
I guess SoW will be modable after a few month after release and online play will be hopefully also for free. So basicly it will be like it was with il2 at the beginning.
The only change might be that we will have a more split up SoW online play in the future due to many nonfree 3th party developed stuff.
People were sometimes angry about all the different versions of il2 in the past, even if new versions were for free (like big patches). This will be even more in the future with SoW i guess! Let's hope (and buy SoW when its out) that oleg and team will make enough benefit with SoW that he will be able to develop stuff for SoW by himself.
Better for him, better for us!
I personally like 4.10 be out when its ready and not when the whining is at its top!
