We’re not working on an externally set schedule, so we can sit down and do things right rather than rushing them out to meet a deadline.
I want to apologize to everybody for it taking so long. But I’d rather apologize for this than for releasing things quickly and for it to be of inferior quality."

How can we really have an in depth and meaningful discussion on that info?

What's wrong with that if that is all there is to report? We've all witnessed the mouths that bite the hands that feed the members here. "What? The meat wasn't tender enough? Portions too small? Sorry, that's all there is." CHOMP!

Which is why they have been putting out updates regarding the future project. Instead of looking at it from the perspective that this means the game will continue to be developed like our long time original IL2, some look at it as if they are being hood winked; thus acting all bent out of shape.

Some complain in a manner that's fitting of adults. Others complain like they were never taught how not to behave in a check out stand at the supermarket when they were 2.

That's why we're at where we are now. Sad state of IL2 affairs all around. Hobbyists aren't happy. Developers frustrated. Ultimately and possibly this could have long reaching effects for our hobby.
