When?
I'm extremely bored and need to write something completely useless
 So, the question is simple: WHEN??? I expect some original replies and not the usual "2 weeks"

Based on a general feeling after spending to much time here - my answer is Q2 2009 (+/- two weeks (ie +/- a quarter or two)). Either that, or never... As there are some clear indications of work being done on the Korea sim based on SoW:BoB I have the bold proposal that it may even arrive first - to iron out the bugs for a smooth release of the "main" product... I know, that sounds weird but why not? People are not that fuzzy about correct representation of every bridge and harbor in Korea so why not.
My guess is that the thing they are working on now is to integrate a strong massively multiplayer component which is the only way to make real money on PC games. Just look at the Titanic of the PC gaming cash cows (excluding Sims) - World of Warcraft. 10 million people paying for the base game and then fresh money every month... Maybe they release Korea as a "normal" game like IL2 with small dedicated servers to try it out - and then release SoW:BoB as a pay-to-play (+ the normal IL2 "small servers" and single player) solution with hundreds of players in the skies over London. Just dreaming... Just think of it... every day at 21.00 CET all german bomber crews take off from France with escorts forming up to attack the target of the day... Mmm... /Mazex Last edited by mazex; 05-30-2008 at 02:14 PM. Reason: Added more dreams...

Just go over to the http://allaircraftarcade.com/forum/index.php Check out the forums and maybe mess around with some of the mods. I particularly enjoy the mod that allows you to go between 4.08 and 4.09. There are plenty of mods that will keep your interest for next couple months at least. I know these mods maybe a NO NO on this forums, but I think the 1C:Maddox should realize they haven't done much for us (pitiful as we are) users for at least 6 months. So, instead of patches that Oleg would have to be rolling out to lower the thunder from users, the mods are a nice diversion for users. Oleg has already stated he's done with the IL2 series, which is cool I guess. I'm not trying to start an issue with 1C:Maddox in providing the linke to mods site. I just think in all fairness to Oleg's dedicated and loyal fan base he should wink  at the mods and move on to the bigger and better things of BOB SOW. I certainly won't be distracted from buying a copy of the BOB SOW when it is released...by IL2 series mods

Nearmiss, I hope you don't get banned for revealing the location of the mod website.
 Now that the pure hysteria has subsided a bit, I'm sure many can appreciate what enormous scope and potential there now is for what might well be the last great WW2 flight sim ever made. For me, the added content and greater levels of realism that I've been able to get into my offline game means that I love this sim more now, than I have ever done in the past.

Yesterday I was shot down online by a Me.210 on a locked server. I think this hysteria doesn't come out of thin air and I would remove the link - especially on this forum.
