This is by far the strangest game release I've ever witnessed. The closer we are to the (shifting) release date, less information we get about the game and its future. News about the release of the game are full of mistakes - advertisements of features that have clearly been dropped, confusion about dates, confusion about the status
of the game - is it a stand alone or just an Il-2 addon...

It looks like captain is leaving the sinking ship, so it would be very nice if someone from the developer's team would clarify the situation a bit...

Words taken out of my mouth. If someone ask me year ago for the worst possible scenario of SoW release, I probably couldn't imagine it worse than this. I understand that it's publisher's fault in many aspects, but lead designer, a face behind the series saying that He leaves the project one week before release is suicidal.
