I think it's a good plan by Luthier's crew- getting back to the Eastern Front is where their heart is. We in the West have view of WW2 that is quite different to the Eastern Bloc countries- it's not even referred to by them as WW2, but rather the 'Great Patriotic War'.
CoD was a buggy mess on release that still remains far from perfect, but i see more and more people regularly getting online on the ATAG server so we can get decent confrontations happening with larger numbers of planes. I see the problems but i'm thoroughly enjoying this game and can't wait until they create a new map with new planes etc.
I believe the CoD guys were too ambitious- the complex weather model etc was too demanding and distracted them from core things like Comms and refining flight models. There is so much potential lurking beneath these annoyances that i hope these guys do move ahead and make a fresh start with the Battle of Moscow- it'll go well in their home market and allow them to use the lessons learned from CoD to make a much more polished game.
