S!
Sure we have seen it, but IL-2 has now more maps, planes and missions than SoW will have at release. Every single game grows old after a time

So agreed fully.
Luthier's Korea map/planes was put aside while they finish SoW, so there is no information when it will come. At least if I read the interviews right.
The problem is not the FM, but the increased amount of work creating a new flyable to SoW. If I recall right Oleg mentioned that up to 6 months creating a new plane to be integrated to the game. All this because of the higher fidelity of SoW engine. And we were those asking for it..and Oleg responded. His words years ago were something like: I can make a high fidelity sim, but do not expect it to be like IL-2..but more complex in every way.
I buy a beer for ya if you show up in Lapland

But I bet HyperLobby won't be empty after SoW is out
