Luthier,
with all the rumors flying around, and not many of the forum visitors realizing how close we came to total disaster following the forced release of the unfinished CoD, i want o pass my sincere thanks to you for rescuing the SoW/CoD project and persevering to pull it all together in the end under very difficult circumstances.
many thanks also for keeping the greater oleg vision alive, and trying to keep active and further implement many of the new elements that had been worked on in previous years before you took over (rearm/refuel, dynamic weather, vehicle and ship control, dynamic campaign engine, complex AI routines for ground vehicles and trains etc)
without your great effort in the last year this whole SoW project could have collapsed, and in the last few months we now at long last have a pretty decent CoD that runs well on mid level pc's, and a game and gfx engine that will allow a BoM release without much further delay (and will simultaneously implement further fixes for CoD).
we pray now for a steady hand at the wheel and that the SoW series might have many further successful sequels, with each building on the previous one like the old il2 series did, giving us gradually more features and new elements.
3 cheers for luthier !!
and for all you trolls and ungrateful little whiners who might still be squirreling about, let ye be warned, i got a shotgun and a shovel in the boot of my car, and there is a whole lot of desert out there, they wont find your bodies for 20 yrs, and no body = no crime , you wont be missed
