The state of the game at release can only be understood as a direct consequence of earlier design and development decisions.

err, emmm, well,....
NOPE !!
as in the previous il2 series, oleg used a modular concept during development, where each main component was developed separately by a different team. it is only when in the last phase of the project all the parts were being assembled that the performance problem of the gfx engine showed insurmountable problems that they couldnt fix in time for the release
the main thing we can blame oleg for in that regard is that he wasnt in the office supervising 24/7 as he had been in the previous series, and he should under normal circumstances have spotted that issue much earlier on
since the gfx engine is the main element that all the other parts are tagged onto, it not being fixed became a major issue for the whole game, and yes they then started slshing and cutting various elements that loaded the gpu and cpu, but as you well rember that didnt fix it. in the end it needed a full gfx engine rebuild (which did fix it)

BoS is not on a different route to the same destination at all, its on a different continent and driving on the other side of the road to a completely different destination
i find it rather funny that people, including you by the looks of your latest comment, keep somehow believing this new RoF venture is going to produce the holy grail of il2sturmovik we have all been waiting for the last 5 yrs, and it just aint so folks. its not aiming to be, and it cant by its very design limitations. think re skinned RoF with ww2 aircraft instead
