If they can't get it right on a small theatre of ops such as BoB how on earth are they going to cope with something many times larger.

I totally agree...
Not that I regret that they focus on Eastern front, Battle of Britain has always been in my "Not interested in- sphere"... But they should really focus on getting the platform in order: sound, gfx..you name it.. AND introduce these changes on the existing product before release of this second title. If this title continue to be broken, there is no chance mpst of us will buy another title.
Amongst our squadmembers, maybe 15 bought Clod when it was released, and maybe 3 fly it occasionally... the rest can't or won't play it as it is now.

sure, but they can't "wait" to fix Clod. It must be in order before the release of this ..."extension" ...

Will the proposed expansion be similar to IL1946 where any new theatres form part of the CloD engine or is it likely to be a separate title that is independent of CloD?

Would be a huge disappointment if they cannot be merged. The Success of Il2 1946 is connected directly with its bonding with the previous addons / stand alones

I imagine the expansions will be like IL2... then Forgotten Battles.... EAP.... followed by Pacific Fighters.... and after thatPE2.... and Sturmoviks Over Manchuria... which finally culminated into 1946.

Each of those were paid add ons from different theatres. Between most of those we had various patches providing tweaks, improvements and features. some planes were released in patches too.

Hopefully we can skip pacific fighters this time Lol!

If they are smart they will follow this tried and true formula from IL2. The Moscow expansion should be a merged install with CLOD.

can not wait for it

If its a collection of individual planes/maps, that you pay for each part, then I'd say same project again.

It seems pretty obvious that it uses the same engine. That means that any improvements to the code will apply to both projects.

Like they were smart when they kept the tried and true quick mission builder setup?

Nooo! Pacific fighters was one of my favourites, with the updated graphics engine with 3D, wow!

Landing on the deck of an aircraft carrier rendered in 3D could just tempt me to try it!
