Just one more thing:

13. Can you introduce a system of military ranks and awards?

Quote:
Yes, for the sequel.

14. Will you do further work on weather effects (rain, thunderstorm and so forth)?

Quote:
Yes, for the sequel.

Does this mean exclusively for the sequel or for both CloD and the sequel(s)?

Note the "further work", as in more work.

Dynamic weather is allredy in the game and the supposedly 50% increase in performance makes it possible for more players to enjoy user made campaigns and missions with DW in it.

Think he means it wont be incorporated in standard missions that allredy exists/ making it sellecteble in the menu pre mission.

Are you joking guys?

Did they had a lot rain and thunderstorms in that hot summer of 1940?

If the sequel is merged, no problem. And logics and history point on that direction. But I'm afraid that patching CloD with a completely new graphic engine + other modifications could prove being more complex than it was for Il2 with Forgotten Battles. Ultimately we can see an entirely new game, standalone, just because of an incompatibility with the new gen engine. I give it a 50/50 chance. Wait and see ...

Sorry guys.

This is not, what I am waithing for.

Update for me is only news about fixing a gameplay.(microstutters, FPS drops to 3 -20 is still there).
The game is stil unplayable. My prediction on the outcome of sophisticated versions for Christmas this year, unfortunately, will not be realized.

By the way, I announced this one year ago.


rgr.

Pretty much what I got out of this is " Nothing much new will come out of CLOD , you will need to buy the sequel to have more features"

He didn't say that. Stop pessimism and negativity, nothing good comes from that.

[Ctrl E]

Reading these answers I would very much doubt the Moscow game will be compatible with CloD. Sounds like the have effectively dumped CloD and moved on to building an entirely new engine, which I doubt would work with CloDs messy code.

Sorry chaps.

Question 2, 6 and 11 should not be lower priority
it's not just cosmetic to be killed by aircraft when we sank or aircraft landed with the cockpit in fire...

and lights is cosmetic?
how do a night flight without wing lights???

Number 6 ...
that's funny it's not a cosmetic it's SIMULATION.... lol
