Fresh stuff from sukhoi.ru (Discussion)

I imagine the expansions will be like IL2... then Forgotten Battles.... EAP.... followed by Pacific Fighters.... and after thatPE2.... and Sturmoviks Over Manchuria... which finally culminated into 1946.

Each of those were paid add ons from different theatres. Between most of those we had various patches providing tweaks, improvements and features. some planes were released in patches too.

Hopefully we can skip pacific fighters this time Lol!

Nooo! Pacific fighters was one of my favourites, with the updated graphics engine with 3D, wow!

Landing on the deck of an aircraft carrier rendered in 3D could just tempt me to try it!

Surley to keep up with the current trend of calling your game a ridiculous name i.e 'IL2 Sturmovik Cliffs Of Dover' they should call it 'IL2 Sturmovk - IL2 Sturmovik' or maybe 'SPITFIRE Battle of Moscow'!

S!

Fix the damn GFX engine, FM/DM and sounds + other things. Then add more stuff when you have a solid platform to work with. But again in Russia the BoM expansion will sell like heck so propably we will SOME day have a product that will satisfy our needs for years to come.

It has been stated by the developers in the past, the new series will be modelled in the same manor as the old IL-2 series, with each theater addition being both stand alone, and/or merged.

You will pay for new theater addons, but any graphic updates, aircraft, objects etc will be applied to COD if you merge the theaters, just as it was done in the first IL-2 series.

I agree that choice of names could have been better, but IL2 Sturmovik, is immediately recognized name in combat flight sim community, and the Cliffs of Dover is immediately associated with the Battle of Britain. Especially with the Hurricane, and 109 on the box cover.

Not sure why they didn't use Battle of Britain on the cover in Western release unless there was copyright or confusion issues with other products.

So they will abandon CLOD which isnt (still) optimized at all just to deliver a product for russian market...great....I gave them 50 bucks....NO MORE from me....
