The F4 and 190 will appear in new theaters, but there is nothing to stop people from making missions with the F4's and 190's on the BOB map when you've done a merged install. The plan for all new theaters will be merged or standalone installs.

You don't know how much I fear we'll have the bomber version AGAIN ... the one who performs worser than a damaged 190 with a Stuka propeller.

please please please, a 190 with historical acceleration, and not that of a pregnant wilderbeast.

the old plan was IIRC to release scenario related planesets.
If 1C is still following this plan, its a good decission IMO !

So no Würger for the Battle of Britain !!
And not for Battle of Moskau too btw. I consider it a Winter 1941/42 scenario.

that a lot of people here in this forum would have liked a 1942 Channel scenario AdOn like Dieppe or something MTO , well, and it will be now easterfront again so fast - may have to do that it is a russian developer

you remember the good old I-16 tanks with their green lasers we will meet them soon again

I'm glad they are in good enough shape to continue with BoM expansion - I hope they make a packet. Further expansion of BoB would have been nice but this might come later. Remember that after Moscow there will be other expansions.

[JG53Frankyboy]

i would guess that depends on the succes of this BoM AdOn.......

[Chivas]

As far as battles like Dieppe, they can be done by third parties. I don't see the need for the developer to cover or concentrate resources on small short campaigns.

[JG53Frankyboy]

its actually not about the campaigns....the official ones were never a strong part of this developer. its more about to give a planeset a timeframe.
and a channel 42 one would be interesting. BUT, its sensless in the moment to discuss this. the more or less near future is the Battle of Moskau.

good point !

and they have taken new staff on recently (including programmers), so it cant be all bad financially for them. lets just hope some of the main problems and omitted material gets dealt with soon.

I originally thought that the Battle for Moscow was a third party add on, but I'm not so sure anymore. Either way it should provide a much needed influx of cash. I've said for many years that I didn't know how the development could build all the planned features and still have a playable fps. Even after eight months it still looks like a long shot, so I think they will probably have to phase in features like dynamic weather over the long term with each additional theater. So far online play is very good, but offline play will require that the AI and commands be fixed sooner than later.
