By 2005 we’ve finally realized that we had to build a new engine. First only one person worked on it, then two, all while continuing to work on Il-2 as well. We’ve really switched over to BoB only after all work on Il-2 was completed, i.e. in 2007. So BoB’s only been in development for 2 years now.

Oleg must have been confused when he said that in 03-04-2009..

Becuase that means CoD was only under dev for 4 years before it was released..

5 years if you count the time they have been working on it since it's release..

But..

There are several forum members here stating that CoD has been under dev for 8+ years before it was released!

9 if you count the year they have been working on it since it's release

And god knows they know better than Oleg!
