Oleg understated the IL-2 friday updates back in the day too. I was there, at the bluebyte forums. Only some meh meh screenshots every week and then when the game was released it was all like "oh! sh*t! did you see that?" and "WOW! he never said anything about this feature".
Oleg is a genius in understating and I think the end product
will make your head explode.
