Luthier Update Clarification Please

"We obviously remain hard at work on the series. We will continue to improve the game up until the eventual release of its sequel."

Above is an extract from your last update, as expected from such a sentence there is muttering in the ranks about what this actually means.

Could you give us an insight into the future of Cliffs of Dover and Battle for Moscow!

Will the sequel be a standalone, addon or will it be both?

Sequel means sequel, standalone game, if he is speaking in normal gaming terms that is.

I have a feeling that it will be both, just like Pacific fighters which could be used as standalone or as an expansion for IL2 owners.

Hopefully leave XP support and go for true DX11

Is there definetly going to be a theatre in Russia? I've also heard rumours about a Northern Africa setting?!

In some screenshots they showed us a la5 (or other russian plane) development

Excellent question Krupi (which I have actually asked Ilya before and received no response). I'm rapidly losing faith in CoD ever representing a convincing or immersive representation of the BoB without extensive community intervention (IE Mission builders, modding etc).

It seems one of the most pivotal battles in History (fact) may just be a 1c 'test lab' now, reduced to the status of Guinea pig....which is a shame. Tossing this into the 'that'll do' bin would be a mistake on their part. Please prove me wrong. Surely all new developments/features in 'Battle for Moscow' will be applicable to CoD, too? Madness to think otherwise, but these days I sadly find myself second guessing everything they do.

In all seriousness, I think you just nailed it.

Well,
i'm no native english speaker but what i find disturbing is phrasing of ' ... eventual release of its sequel'.

To me this sounds different to what was said in the past:
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=24692

Is this a first hint that the series may be cancelled?!?
I hope not ...

I hope too, that the BoB 1940 szenario will be extended in its content and will not be dropped with the release of the successor BoM 1941. It would be a shame...

Moin Touchdown,

english meaning of eventual is not our meaning of eventuell...

eventually = finally => schlußendlich
