Becuase that means CoD was only under dev for 4 years before it was released..

5 years if you count the time they have been working on it since it's release..

But..

There are several forum members here stating that CoD has been under dev for 8+ years before it was released!

9 if you count the year they have been working on it since it's release

And god knows they know better than Oleg!

Agreed 100% Ace.

The sim has been in development for a long time (since at least 2005, so some 8 years) but the game we're playing today is really only 4 years old or more. It has a lot of the first build present, but really I think it's easy to underestimate the complexities of using a new engine for the first time.


@Chivas, that quote from Oleg on the cliffs is interesting. See the video from the 1946 DVD, and the Cliffs there look quite poor compared to what we have now. So they went ahead and started work, but then changed? They should have released it as an expansion for Il-2 to keep us busy! aha
