Maybe i should ask Blacksix this question, but why cant they release patches daily?, if they fix the radio comms then they can release a patch, if they fix the LOD/plane dissapearing issue, release a patch, down to the smallest grammar or spelling error, it doesnt matter, they can just release a patch, surely thats one of the great things about having a game on steam isnt it, it doesnt trouble anyone when they release patches on steam, open steam, CLOD auto updates, same as any other game on steam which recieves regular fixes.

The problem with releasing patches like that is there is a potential to mess things up, I would have thought a patch that contains a whole load of updates tested together is less likely to cause a problem

if they mess things up (would be difficult), then they can release a patch to fix it, thats how simple it is, thats what they do with hundreds of other games on steam, and i would have thought along with greater distribution that was one of the major reasons behind the decision to use steam ion the first place.

forgot to add that they are working on one area ATM, so we could see something like you have mentioned when they move onto the smaller problems
