No. The addon is 99% constituted by maps and 3D objects, done by 3D modelers. The game engine is common, so the GFX, DM, FM teams will continue to work on the bugs and improvements or the Il2: Cliffs of Dover series. Not so difficult to understand.

If its to be merged then that's great...

[Bobb4]

All il2 games in the past have merged, I do not see them changing this. I do see them selling it firstly as a stand alone game with the ability to merge both and then as with all il2 incarnations, a gold pack with an udated merge patch forcing players to buy both at a later stage normally six months after release
One hopes the SDK is released soon and modders can get active fixing (maybe fixing is too harsh a work, lets say creating )what needs to be fixed. It is just sad to think that I still fly il2-1946 with it's mods more than I fly it's replacement.

I've got my money's worth out of it so far. Luckly I haven't had the stability issues some people have been having!

I definately will be buying the next upgrade or expansion pack that the developers release.

Cheers!

Each of those were paid add ons from different theatres. Between most of those we had various patches providing tweaks, improvements and features. some planes were released in patches too.

If they are smart they will follow this tried and true formula from IL2. The Moscow expansion should be a merged install with CLOD.

Like they were smart when they kept the tried and true quick mission builder setup?
