You guys seems to not understand the dimension of the damage:

The UBI/western IL2 CoD will be forever crippled by the antiepilepsy modifications. Luthier stated that the current epilepsy filter will only be removed from the UBI version once all the individual potential epilepsy-triggering sources will be "dealth with" (this already included the individual dealth propellers arc from inside the cockpit (which were removed/set to transparency from both russian/UBI versions) and will include tons of others (needing months of work to be removed/dealt with) like removing part of the flying debris resulted as mopping up airplanes, part of bullet impact flashes and so on).

Actually, even the russian version will be partially crippled, as there are already a lot of individual irreversible modifications already made (before realizing that it's too long of a work, and they've added the quick "epilepsy filter" whole screen shader filter solution) which will most probably remain the same in the russian version even after the epilepsy filter will be removed.

I've already bought the russian version of the game, and I will cancel my IL2 CoD Collector's Edition pre-order from UBI.
