2. Childish move to abandon a game you love because mods appear... If you don't use them and don't allow them in your circles of clans and sqauds, where is the problem in the first place?
3. They are still running 4.10.1 because taking advantage of the new features takes time to implement. All the new FMB features, fuzes and such require reworking target sites and loadout restrictions etc. So give it time.

1. I don't recall UKdedicated servers being serious ones. Didn't they run on an arcade setting? Besides, none of them were as popular as the best servers on hyperlobby in the history of IL2, such as greater green, winds of war, spits vs 109 etc.
2. From where did you made that assumption? The appearance of mods has opened up the Pandora box and cheating started to spread, which drove those serious gamers away. That's why there are so many wonder-woman servers on the lobby. Because current online community is mostly comprised of new players who are reluctant to spend time learning navigation, SA, BFM, and teamwork. They love the air quakes. But that is not the best scenery you can see in a combat flight sim.
Sorry, TD, but the overheating feature you included in 4.11m has made this situation even worse. They will stuck to those UFOs more than ever from now on. They can just turn and shoot to blow an experienced virtual pilot into pieces, who won't even give those UFOs a try. Why need they learn?
3. I highly doubt what you said is the real reason. Some very popular Russian servers upgraded immediately after the patch release, AlexServer for example. But, it's pity that it is an arcade server.
