3D model makers make 3D models.. its what they do.. there is an amazing AD-4 Skyraider and Mig15bis done as well..but that doesn't mean that it is taking 1 ounce of resources away from getting the game back on its feet.

There is a plan for this engine, to continue to improve, optimize, add new content, new maps, theaters, etc. They have no plans to drop support for this any more than they dropped it for IL2. They are really scrambling right now to get things fixed up.. in reality they've done some amazing things in a month given the complexity of the core code.. I would expect to see a very high tempo of fixes and improvements for the next several months until it reaches a level they are comfortable with, and then they will continue to improve it as they add new things to the game..

They are very much in this for the long haul.. grab a seat, this is how IL2 started and went on for 10 years.. and the possible ceiling for this engine is 10X what IL2 is limited to

Although one could argue that CoD still lacks a number of gameplay-sensitive types such as the Bf 109 E-1 and E-4, the Ju 52 and any kind of warship for both sides ...

It's all about "me, me, me."

Luthier comes on here to wish us happy VE day, an important holiday in Russia, and as an aside shows us a glimpse of the future of the series with a perfectly appropriate shot of an Il-2 Sturmovik, which was one of the biggest symbols of Russian resistance of the war.

Guess what? He didn't have to come out here and show us anything! People whine about lack of communication etc and fair enough, some of it is warranted, but my God when Luthier does show up he gets shot down in quick order. Like now.

As for some of the responses in this thread...it turns my stomach. This was a thread about rememberance and the sacrifice made by those brave soldiers...but no, instead it's given the whiners another reason to whine and bitch.
Predictable.

Thanks for this Post Rattlehead.

This Thread is about VE Day, some of you whining an bitching about CloD should do that on the other Threads in this Forum and should at least show some minimum of respect for the Veterans.

Looking forward to an Eastern Front scenario!

Hope the holiday was good, even if you guys spend it at the office.

Happy victory day!! over nazi germany

Glad to hear that a new addon was approved by the publishers, given the current state of Cliffs of Dover. I didn't want the IL-2 series to meet an untimely end.

That said as you pointed out Luthier, if you don't finish Cliffs of Dover first no-one will hang around to buy the next installment so I'm glad you realise the situation we are all in.

Happy VE Day for everyone!!
