No chance..............

I swear I saw pictures like that a couple of years ago. Quite bored by the whole vaporware BoB pipe dream these days. The only fun to be had from it is to poke the carcass with a stick now and again.

The damage shots are new! It looks like the gear dropping will be part of the damage system.

Another "doom and gloom" post from Feathered_IV.

I'd suggest going back on your meds. Seriously.

You are really gonna look foolish when BoB is released.

Well if that's your idea of fun..... I just don't understand where this notion that BoB is not forthcoming is coming from at all... jjst because we don't get weekly updates about it's progress..... I cant help but be floored by people who have thatattitude considering the proven history with IL2.

Well in his defence..... the release date was for Nov 2006 and I beleive that appeared on the bonus DVD didn't it?, I don't want to dig it out.

This game needs a web site and updates- bi monthly would be fine! and by that I mean videos.

The gauges in the current update were nice at least it shows a "game feature"

How can you be floored by people with the above attitude considering THEIR proven history of whining wiith IL2? There's no difference today than there was six years ago.

Well being the release date for 1946 WAS Nov 2006 I highly doubt that it says BOB would be released that same month.

Hi

vaporware is a project that gets hype and no progress, until it's abandoned

SoW has hype, and obviously shows progress periodically, and obviously isn't abandoned.

Unless of course you feel that Oleg spends his free time building this illusion so he can fool us all. I guess that's possible, but it seems unreasonable to me that the man would generate all these fraudulent update pics or use stuff he's had in reserve for years just to string you or me along.

But anyway, I can't understand how you call this "vaporware", in a thread that has an update. I can understand why you're disappointed by the slow progress, as we all are, but surely you have been around long enough (I know you have, very well, believe me) to know what happens with projects from Oleg- every one in Il2 has been completed. We got 1946, we got Pe-2 and we got SoM- and we weren't supposed to

So it's hard for me to look at that track record of always delivering, and then agree with your accusation that SoW is "vaporware"

I wish it would get finished too, but I think I'm a touch more objective than you are...in the meantime, I've got Corsairs and P-40s to skin!
