Reasonable, Bobb4.
I was not surprised that there was no official announcement on this years E3, as it was a shadow of the E3 that it used to be. IIRC there were just minor announcements for the whole business on this years E3, especially compared to the news on the gaming market that were published in the weeks before.
As many critics say, E3 2008 was insufficient in many regards, especially considering it was AFTER titles for this winter were announced. There may be informations on this years GamesConvention in Germany, considering UBISOFT is a European company, the former plans for a takeover of UBISOFT by an US-publisher and the later date offering some further options - but I won't place my bets on it.
Considering all the bits of information we have, I also agree that there will be no release in 2008. I don't know how much BoP has to do with it, as it's another publisher for the western world and another developer, but considering the history of IL2 and the circumstances, I bet UBI will announce and advertise the game a pretty short time before the release, only after it's perfectly clear what will be in and what not and at a stage where it's clear that competitors will not be able to benefit from that information prior to BoBs release.
