With these news and what we've experienced since 31 of March it is pretty clear that CloD was more of a beta, testing the engine on some happy campers in the west, prior to the russian release of Battle of Moscow.
"
Hey, lets start with a beta and call it something brittish so we get a hole community to test it for us"
Even though we in the west thought the IL-2 was groundbreaking and a big hit that everyone into cfs was playing, the number of sold copies was nothing compared to the russian market. So no surprise they focus on that market for the sequel.
They're not fixing the game for us. They're trimming the engine for the BoM release. We didn't make Oleg a billionair, the russian players did.
Look into a mirror and say hello to a beta tester for a russian company.
We've been marginalized...and it hurts.
