But 9 months is also too short of a time if they for example rewritten it from the scratch for DX11 (and not only using DX11's API, but using DX11 features like tessellation, etc). I've said it after game's launch, and I still believe it now, 1 year after, specially as what happened from then until now fits this theory best:

what we've seen launched as IL2CoD was actually a concept code, based on IL21946's code, slowly developed over time for testing various new systems with the old already available engine, with the intention to rewrite everything on clean from a certain point. Yet, when the plug was pulled, they've found out they won'y finish it in time for the launch date, so they've dropped the new engine code for the moment, and entered in a frenzy to patch the concept one in order to can launch it. After the launch and the 3 months of trying to save the sinking boat, they've got back focused on writing to finish the new engine's code, which by now reached a core-ready state.
Wow! Do you work at MG or is this speculation? If it's the latter you'd better stop because of the new forum rules.
