One thing I would like to know is when a publisher announces when a game is coming out is that it...does it come out on that date? Didn't Oleg say something about that in November? Someone in here must know how it works.

I don't think that this is anything to worry about considering Oleg's intention to move into Korea, and 1C also have TeamD as a backup.
UBI are just a dead loss, with no longevity interests in a game/sim.

Historically, Il-2 products such as the FB 1.02 patch, Pacific Fighters, PF "Betty" patch and Pe-2 addon have tended to average 6 to 9 months after their Ubi-predicted release date. SoW was an exception for this, being first announced close to five years ago.

I suspect you are right. There must be considerable pressure on MG at the moment for a release candidate. The mention that the game won't ship with a German single player campaign suggests that there has been a few cuts made. Presumably more than one. One might also surmise that if Ubi is indeed bringing such pressure to bear, then Maddox Games must have signed on officially with them recently.

will there dedicated official server avaible? Its the only real weak point of the IL2 series in the past, so i hope it might be changed

What was the weak point? We've had a dedicated server for as long as I can recall for IL2.

Does he mean the IL-2 site?

Or the Hyperlobby. Hyperlobby is excellent.

I'm sorry but just to add but is it the offline fliers who don't know about the Hyperlobby? The limmet in Spits VS 109s is up to 92 know I think, that's a lot of people or is that what is meant by a dedicated server...I'm a little foggy on this one

Not in the initial version (if reports are to be believed). However, the engine is designed for growth.
