T minus 9 days!!!! The silence is deafening.

Delay announced shortly (prob 24 hours before 'release')

no one would release on the 1st april, would he?

[wildone_106]

I thought March 25th?

I doubt anyone will be playing it on that date or thereafter for some time

and these doubts are based on.... nothing concrete whatsoever.

2 wee.... 9 days, be sure!

it's based on ... the info directly from an ubisoft forum manager.

TBH I've had my fill of "forum managers" in the past and they don't know their head from a hole in the ground.
Regardless of my opinion of them I've cancelled my pre-order and am wrapping myself up in RoF. The next time I look, maybe IL2COD will be available for purchase, if not, I'm over it. I've not anticipated a game like this since Tie Fighter came out in the 90's, and I can't bear to sit around and bounce release dates in my head till god knows when.

It's time to fly something

Why don't you just do the Il2 with 4.101 from DT.

Fly one of the better maps. The Slot is an awesome map, and you might find you enjoy flying over alot of water island to island in a Corsair. A great plane... makes lots of noise and breaks stuff pretty easy too.

I spent one year just building missions on the Kuban map when I first started with IL2. If the IL2 was all the end of Oleg's efforts it would still be the very best air combat sim. The IL2 is still darned awesome, if you haven't done the TD additions you have missed some good action.

It's just the promise of something better that cranks us up.

When it comes out then it will be time to buy one someplace. If you can download it through "scream" it won't matter what day it releases. You can spend your money and have it in a few minutes.
