Historically, Il-2 products such as the FB 1.02 patch, Pacific Fighters, PF "Betty" patch and Pe-2 addon have tended to average 6 to 9 months after their Ubi-predicted release date. SoW was an exception for this, being first announced close to five years ago.

I suspect you are right. There must be considerable pressure on MG at the moment for a release candidate. The mention that the game won't ship with a German single player campaign suggests that there has been a few cuts made. Presumably more than one. One might also surmise that if Ubi is indeed bringing such pressure to bear, then Maddox Games must have signed on officially with them recently.
