I'm just hoping for some real clarity. Or maybe they're just tired of hearing all the moaning are gonna wait to it's where they want it to release anything to us anymore. As long as the "work continues" I'll wait. I just don't want to see a post saying it's been abandoned.

considering the state of the game, the pace they released patches, the progress the game made since release, and BlackSix's last few posts, there is a strong possibility that exactly that will happen...

Amen,

Me thinks thats what the majority would like at this time, the product paid for.
BoM is all pie in the sky at the moment, with a few mediocre screenshots and more promises, nothing else.

Im looking forward to BoM and the patch. Never had much of interest in the BoB scenario.

I'm looking forward to the Euro championship final, my summer holidays and the christmas season as these things are closer and much more realistic..

Very funny, you know it became a brand...
Anyway somewhere like the MTO, ETO, even the bloody SCW, but enough of those endless bright green prairie scenarios.. They could also concentrate on the last stages of the Russian offensive and come a bit more west..

The peak of sales and interest was with Pacific Fighters if memory serves, so why not following the original road map laid down by the good ol' Oleg years ago, who said "it's likely that after the new BoB sim is released we will concentrate on the MTO"..

Just give us Oleg back please, at least he cared about his customers.

Great update and fine screenshots. Keep up the good work to make CoD better and better.

If the game engine is fixed, it will make room for the addition of clouds, and improvement to stability, FPS, AI, Commands, FM, DM, terrain, etc that can be applied to COD and any other theater. If they are unable to fix the game engine the development will be shut down by its investors.

Everyone on here was absolutely ecstatic until you said that.

Agreed, in a complete and surprising break from type Chivas wins this week's 'Wet blanket' award. Come on Chivas - that kind of thing is NOT what we pay you for around here.

I was actually quite excited to come and post on this too, because I changed my mind on the Stalingrad map. My initial reservations still in place, I can see that a Stalingrad scenario could be very atmospheric and exciting - palls of black smoke rise from the shattered city and shroud the Volga as your flight of Stukas peels off to commence their attack on the stubborn resisters in the Tractor factory.

I'm excited.... I'll buy it...reminds me of how excited I felt about COD - diving into huge phalanxes of German bombers over London; scrambling from Manston as 109s skim the tree-tops, ......oh, hang on, hmmmm .... a little imagination can be a dangerous thing in flight-sim land.

Yep, finally the Mussolini guys proved to be something good for at war. Italians beat british troops in ukrainian territory. Quite a scenario hihi

I'm very much looking forward to your WW2 flight sim. It will be interesting to see how you market it. When is the scheduled release date?

Why BlackSix "participates" more and gives more info in the sukhoi.ru forum than here, the 1C official forums??? (Please, don´t say "language barrier")
