Why no news on SOW:BOB, Evgeny?

Competition is a good thing.

At least if you are at the receiving end.

It seems a bit silly to think if three WW2 flight sims come out this year, that I (the customer) would only buy one. I have BoB2 and IL2 now and play them both now. If 3 sims come out this year, and get good reviews, I will buy all three. I would think for most who are into these type of game the same would be true. With IL2 being what it is, I don't think Oleg has much to worry about. He has more to with his fate than the competition.

You call this idea silly? How many people do you think will buy 3 flightsims for the full price at the same time? I have many flightsims in my collection, so I agree on that, but I got several of them from ebay and that is surely no good news for a producer.

Feuerfalke I have heard the statements you make before in other posts, but I have not been able to confirm them. Are you a part of the development team on SOW:BOB? If not, where does your info come from? I would like to hear the reason for the blackout from the horses mouth..

So Evgeny do you have any input?

Same here I can afford to buy more then one sim...plenty of room for everyone. If anything...I would think that it was the "other two" sims that should be worried...IL2 has a stellar reputation and its up to the "other" sims to try and prove themselfs to this community (and the flight/fight sim community in general)...

If people are trying to "goat" Oleg into posting some more info they are going to have to do better then this...

I will probably buy a CFS4 or Shockwave Merlin based sim but we've seen absolutely nothing from them in reference to their new combat sims. Although Shockwave did post a pic of a P40 for use in FSX, that may be the bases for an aircraft in their cancelled/delayed FT project. I believe they are working on another undisclosed project.

At the moment KOTS screenshots indicate a promising combat sim that could well be the quality of BOB SOW. We have no idea on the quality of the other sims.

Is their a "Phoney War" of promotion going on between "BoB SoW" and the two unseen rivals to the crown?

LOL! It is true that in the (imagined) "war" of promotion that exists between "BoB SoW" and whatever "other" new sims (that might be) coming out that we have had a huge amount of information on the new IL2, and NOTHING about the other new sims...so it would seem that "BoB SoW" is ahead of the pack (not behind)...

Maybe Oleg should be making a "Bore War" add-on...LOL!
