"We also have a rather cool new major feature almost ready. It’s not going to make this patch. In order to keep the competitors squirming, we won’t say what it is until we’re ready to release it."
For the sake of keeping the posts short and to the point you get three guesses (not including Luthier!) to see if you guess right when it's released, so here are mine.
1) Pilot visible in the cockpit from the player POV when inside
2) Dynamic Campaign Generator
3) Ability to view aircraft in online battles on a 3D battle map like you were in a map room with a virtual environment showing all the aircraft in the sky (imagine Map view with Red and Blue icons, but larger view and the aircraft are in 3D, the map fills the screen?
Okay, your turn

Aditional comment after looking at replies;
Thinking more about the wording of competitors I have to assume that Luthier is talking about WW2? If that is the case it must refer to World of Planes and World of Warplanes, two 'competitors' in the WW2 flight market.
Now, if that is the case, these two pieces of software hinge on the fact that they will have an online experience that is a dynamic free-flowing war arena, where events change the way missions are loaded and the results of those change the ebb and flow the Mission/Campaign/Map that is loaded.
If they released something like that, I can imagine that making the competitors 'squirm' as it would pre-empt their release by months and dilute the enthusiasm for their products?
