Oleg, you had me hooked since the first Il2 Sturmovik came out. It has been so many years now and I am really looking forward yet again to another high quality product from you and your team.
I will buy 3 copies; One for playing, one for my future son (if I ever get one) and one will just stand in my gaming shelf un-opened.
This will be the best christmas in a long time

A bit optimistic eh? Not to be a downer, but there's been no indication it will be out by THIS Christmas.

Also, not everybody is willing to buy a new computer just to play a game...

If you make it work on computers that run today, and Mr maddox and team will do, then you ensure that you'll have enough audience to sell to...

There aren't that many real die hard flight simmers like us.

how many people are still playing il2? how many have only gotten into it in the past few years?
combat flight sims are a tiny niche, and there is little in the way of serious alternatives. captive market and all that.

and i would bet there's a lot of simmers that have held back upgrading, or have already upgraded their computer for SoW. me? i bought this computer so that i could play il2 in a decent fashion. i needed an upgrade but i have to admit, i went overboard.

tbh i wouldn't be so sure. within 6 months, at a complete guess.

Oleg said soon, very soon...
I don't think 5 months is very soon - and as you mentioned sites like that get it wrong countless times...

Oleg, please present us with a video of SoW BoB this friday.
That would be awesome.
Or let the publisher publish a video.



P.S late October will be the release
