I do also have to say that MAYBE Oleg has had a bit to do with it as well by drip feeding and hinting it is all WIP and not near finished so people assume there is still 50% more improvement to come,possibly on some things but i doubt it on all.
He does need now to make a decision on starting to show what is actually going to be a finished result OR maybe leave a few weeks until he can.
I daresay we will all buy the product anyway.
An easier idea is for Oleg to post any developments as he does now BUT then it is locked and all discussions about it are deleted,if there are any obvious problems that Oleg and his team need to know [ie accuracy ] they can be sent via PM or via moderators.

I think its more to do with some of the things Oleg has said, for example Oleg was very dismissive of the 'Wings Of Prey' terrain, claiming that SOW would be far better, to date its simply not unless of course Oleg is holding something back which seems bizarre if we are as close to release as they would have us believe. Cinematic, and real time weather have been promised along with manning AA guns and DX11 etc , but so far we have not seen anything of these at this late date, so i think a lot of expectations have been brought about by the devs, who it seems maybe struggling to live up to them. If Oleg says listen guys the terrain has had to be scaled down in order to make the whole thing playable then thats fine with me, but im still taking his last word on the subject in that it will be a lot better than WOP/BOP and until i hear or see otherwise I can only measure what i currently see with his last statement.
