The Crystal Ball

But still ... Given the insane amount of detail these models have to have spending development effort, as in manpower and therefor money, on a type that came a good six months after the final act in "The Battle of Moscow" had been sung (if we were to follow the international historians and consider the timeframe of "Typhoon" and the soviet counter offensive as the background for BoM) it puzzles me a bit. I mean we do have so many types that need to be modeled for the setting I described (Bf 109 E-7, F-2, F-4, Ju 88 A-4, He 111 H-3, H-4 and H-6, Hs 123, Ju 87 B-2, I-16 Type 18 and Type 24, I-153 M62, Il-2 Model 1940, Yak-1 Model 1941, MiG-3ud, LaGG-3 ...) I don't really see the resources for that ... Unless, of course, MG has pulled our leg with the title and it does stretch 1941 and 1942 (although I really doubt that).

Exactly.

My train of thought as well, sort the existing then work on the next???

My bet is on the Yak-1 for this friday, and the BF109F

[kestrel79]

It will probably be a Russian plane, since they are from Russia. Mig 3, Early Yak, maybe an early war Bomber?

I still want a flyable cargo plane, like a ju-52 or c-47 to expand gameplay possiblities and resupply bases, troop transport, ect. Or water planes for scouting and anti shipping missions. I love the obscure "crap" planes and I know the devs do too.

3D modellers did a great job in CloD already. You do not think they deserve to be fired now until programmers fix all CloD bugs?

And btw both the game and the expansion share the same engine as we all know. BoM will not 'work' if CloD is not fixed.

No I don't think they deserve to be fired, I never said that did I?

However, I paid out £50 for a game that should work (properly) by now so I think (as do many, many more) that CloD should be fixed first before an add-on that I assume we will need to buy (and I don't mind that either if its reasonably priced) is released.
Or is it that the CloD 'fix' will be built into this add-on thus making my current install nothing but a hard disc space hog?

How about skip a few crap planes and give us te Fw 190 already? While we're still young (sort of) but dont skip the i16.....

I hope for a Spitfire mk I in the new 3D engine

In my understanding of the situation, BoM will come out when all main issues and biggest bugs in CloD are solved.

They would hurt themselves when they just sell new content with the same porked engine.

And as long they work on BoM, I have no doubt that the Clod engine will profit from it.

PS: I hope it's a Junkers W34. Germany had 2000 of them, also the finnish air force had them as K43.
