Seems to have escaped the attention of a lot of you guys when Oleg has been writing words to the effect of:

"Please you ask for too much", "You say that I promise [x] in next update but I didn't", "I need 25 hours of sleep now", etc, etc etc...

He has made it very clear that he is super-busy at the moment. He has a young kid on top of that, the implications of which any parent would understand...

Of course the spoilt teenagers in here cannot be brought to understand any of this, it is obvious now, they're just totally hopeless. They don't really care about anything but themselves, sign of their age and the times.

Of course the developers are provoked to reply when the tactic is "Hey, I'll pull stupid criticism out of my arse and then come with an inane suggestion about how to fix it". This trolling has been going on for quite a while now and is ruining the interaction with the development team.

Sorry, did he ask people to stop asking questions somewhere?

Again, he hasn't told or asked anybody to stop asking questions has he? He's merely letting us know how he is so we have a reason for his absence, not that he needs to tell us anything, he does after all have the ability to decide for himself much as you seem to think otherwise.

Did you want your underwear in red or yellow now that they need to go on the outside for your role as Oleg's protector?

What on earth was stupid or critical about asking Oleg's motivation and reasoning behind his choice of the Battle of Britain?

I know where you're coming from, although as mentioned by others some of your criticism isn’t well directed (IMO). These threads become mammoth, and it’s a wonder how Oleg has the time to wade through them. A lot of the questions put are made without much thought (eg, as you say, some questions almost suggest that the development team are beginners, which won’t have been the poster’s intention, and could have been avoided with some thought). Fortunately we are all being given a chance to ask questions, and unfortunately that inevitably leads to a lot of ill-advised posts. The fact is, it is probably easier for Oleg to ignore posts (like this one) than it is for us all to argue over which post is necessary. Like I say, I know your point, but you have now made several posts on the subject (with responses from others and now me) which are as much OT and in the way of the real discussion as the posts you’re complaining about.

It’s just not practical to moderate all the posts, so just ignore the ones you don’t like and don’t worry.

When you look at Oleg's posting time and make the math, you got your answer: he is sitting there sometimes answering until 3 and 4am in the morning (Moscow time).

Yes, and without much reading. Lot's of the questions have been answered many times before.

Oleg's a big boy, he will do what he wants. He doesn't need people trying to hold his virtual hand to tell him what he can and can't do. If he wishes to reply to posts, he will. He only seems to answer questions which he feels he can answer (e.g. without giving too much away) or questions of general interest to him and others.
I understand it may seem rude to some to post a lot of questions, but IMHO it just shows general interest.
IMHO, a topic full of questions is much more considerate than a topic full of questions and argument.

Hopefully we can just move back to the topic. I can't see why people can't just PM members if they feel their post is rude, to save the topic going off at a tangent.

Agree 100% that's why he never answers my questions hehehe.

Oleg, has bouncing tracer been implemented into the game yet? I've watched all the videos from the show in Russia, but I can't see it implemented yet
Did Luthier manage to get all his calculations for it?
