It would be nice to have system specs, but there are several reasons that come to mind as to why Oleg & co haven't released them yet:

(a) The game isn't as finished as Oleg hoped it would be, so it is too soon to even guess.
(b) The game is still undergoing beta-testing, which will determine the minimum practical specs.
(c) Oleg knows what the specs are, but can't release them for contractual reasons.
(d) Oleg knows what the specs are, but wants to hold them back until more details about the sim can be released, for maximum impact.
(e) Oleg knows what the specs are, but doesn't want any potential competition to know them yet.

I'm sure there are other possibilities...

I'm sure at this point in development the developer has a pretty good idea and its probably high, especially as feature rich as this game engine is. I would imagine any developer would want to widdle that figure down as much as possible with game engine optimizations, before giving that information out. The lower he can optimize the more possible game sales.

Giving out a high system specs announcement at this time would be counter productive. He can't ring out every frame rate until the sims is basicly done with all features working together.

Hardly.
For anyone to state what we "should" or "should not" be seeing from the developer is the same level of trollism as represented in the original post of this thread.
Oleg is the only one who is the authority to say what "should" be going on.
The majority of us are patient and happy , knowing full well what great things 1C has delivered to us in the past and we feel no reason to moan on incessantly like spoiled children about what we havent recieved.
I see the seemingly popular "inate sense of entitlement" knows no boundaries....

Is it just me or does anyone else think this guy needs a holiday. Deeeeep breath now ...... and relax.

There may be several distributors of the BOB SOW. The distributors are going to want to have their say on the system specs. Oleg will make a recommendation to the distributors, and the distributors will agree on the final specification. Oleg will not be ignored, but there will be a meeting of the minds from all parties.

The distributor will want the door to swing as wide as possible to enourage the largest number of purchasers.

If you ever get a response on this type of request it will probably be answered with vague and non-committal explanations.

the funny thing is... how people say IL2 ran on really slow computers, with super low end specs... well yes, to TODAYS standards they are really low end specs, but in their day, they were standard home computers... this new SOW will have to run on what would be considered TODAYS standard home computer, not 5 years ago, not 9 years ago... (like maybe less than a 1000$ pre-made jobby from walmart type dealy) that being said... if you need to worry about specs, its only because your living in the past.

and i love to put emphasis on present tense type words

I suppose one of the problems today is that big monitors that run at high resolutions are now relatively cheap, obviously you need some serious kit to run a game maxed at high res, Im enquiring about the system spec's because I build custom gaming rigs for a living, its my own business and I have had many phone calls enquiring about rigs that will run SOW maxed out. Yes i know that we should all wait and see until after release but some people want to have everything ready on the day of release.
