The new line will work the same way. If you own the old product, you'll be able to install a new one on top of it; or you'll be able to get a compilation product like 1946 that includes old content from previous releases.

But once the sequel is released, there obviously won't be any more support for stand-alone CoD.
Thank you for the answer!

So basically, no more patches for those who don't own the sequel, I totally understand that, but the sequel will act as an expansion to the original (cliffs of dover) and will now be a combined product, which you will continue to support.

That is good news As long as you are doing like you did with the previous series of IL-2 sturmovik I believe you are working in the correct direction

Good luck with the closed beta, it sounds very promising
