Let's talk sequel!

S!

Well, we should not light up torches and all as we for sure do not know what happened behind the scenes when IL-2 CoD was developed. Something happened and resulted most likely to this what we have now, but Luthier and his team have done a lot of work to improve what they got in their hands. Sure the game should have been all this and that from release, but at least we know for sure Luthier is changing things to the right direction aka new GFX engine, new sounds etc. That is what matters..there are not many WW2 sims coming out these days anyway and I hope IL-2 series will prevail as I for sure want to fly other theatres too

It seems that doom'n'gloom is more fashionable atm.

But then, one can only become positively disappointed this way.

Anyway it's a sad way to view the future, imo.

Ah well. Can't be helped really. One might be forgiven for expecting another slow motion train wreck for their next effort.

Sad but true

And a view that is baseless..

By baseless I mean the only way a person can view it as doom'n'gloom is to totally ignore 1C's track record with IL-2.

Where IL-2 was supported for 10+ years!

1) Where IL-2 recived dozens of free updates that not only fixxed bugs but added new features, aircraft, maps, etc.

2) Where IL-2 recived several payfor sequal updates that not only fixxed bugs but included all the privious features, aircraft, maps, etc while at the same time adding featrues, aircraft, maps, etc

It's too bad that these doom'n'gloom folks are either too young, or too forgetfull, or just not around to have experanced how 1C handled IL-2, because had they would not be so worried/upset by the news that 1C is working on a sequel

I think my old sig line needs to be re-posted...

Everything seems new to those too young to remember the old and too ignorant of history to have heard about it. -Thomas Sowell

Applies all too well! S!

Sorry to say but I think you are living in the past. Past experience has nothing to do about what the future will bring. I can't believe so many of you are wearing rose colored glasses and find it so difficult to be realistic. I am an optimistic person but c'mon guys, stop with the brain-washed attitude

COD was sold to us with a lot of hot air and a bit of deceit thrown in. This happened over the past 6 years and came to a head when it was released earlier this year. We will all have to wait and see what the sequel will bring in a couple of years but how can you seriously expect anything but the bare minimum

You are a brave man shark and I agree with some of what you mentioned, however, prepare yourself to be multi-quoted.

Don't be sorry

I realize that past experience does not guarantee future actions

But at least I am basing it on something (the 1C track record) instead of the child like, are we there yet, view of the world that most of the gloom'n'doom folks are basing their statements on
