It's all about "me, me, me."

Luthier comes on here to wish us happy VE day, an important holiday in Russia, and as an aside shows us a glimpse of the future of the series with a perfectly appropriate shot of an Il-2 Sturmovik, which was one of the biggest symbols of Russian resistance of the war.

Guess what? He didn't have to come out here and show us anything! People whine about lack of communication etc and fair enough, some of it is warranted, but my God when Luthier does show up he gets shot down in quick order. Like now.

As for some of the responses in this thread...it turns my stomach. This was a thread about rememberance and the sacrifice made by those brave soldiers...but no, instead it's given the whiners another reason to whine and bitch.
Predictable.

This thread should not have gone in the direction it did. A lot of you should be ashamed and embarassed.

I had a peaceful, yet eventful VE day, spent with friends and family. Hope yours was good too, Luthier.

Very much looking forward to more progress, both with CloD and with the expansions.

Happy VE-Day to you too, guys. Some of us are historians at heart, and we need to remember so that the same historical mistakes aren't repeated.

I think Luthier opened a can of worms when he added the 2 screenshots to the VE day thread.If he wanted to show a glimpse into the crystal ball,fine.He should have made 2 separate posts.

+1 as well.

For goodness sake guy, Luthier tries to share something positive and exciting about the future, while he probably spends 99.99% of the time with his nose deep in the bugs, and all a bunch of you find to do is try to kick his head back in the negative. Do you really think he's deprived of negative feedback lately, do you really think a day spent talking about the future is so bad and misplaced, really? I wonder how you guys would feel if other would publicly do that to you whenever you don't deliver as well as expected in your own job, seriously...

Anyway, it's great to imagine that we might fly IL2s and FW190 with the same kind of details as we have in the Spits and BF109! But please keep the system of merged installations of CoD + whatever comes next in the same way as each iteration of IL2 could be merged with all the previous ones for the last gen!
