You are most likely correct in your assertions. There's probably a very big picture behind all of this that is for 1c, Ubisoft and MG eyes only. Ubisoft is a money making business just like every other publisher/developer. If they didn't see any money in CloD and it's eventual sequels then it wouldn't have existed, same goes for 1c.

Money must come in, of course...

I agree with Luthier completely, and I think that the sequel will be a brand new program that will (mostly) pick the objects and the maps from the installed CoD, thereby cleaning the code of all the crap put there during the high drama crunch period, changes in programmers, etc...And we will have then what Oleg promissed 6 years ago and an amazing simulation to be sure...

As a former software engineer, I would have taken that decision a while ago...oh wait, they probably did...

Now as to when BfM will come out...Quicker than everybody here thinks...but then I'm an eternal optimist.

P.S: Happy Holidays and may the new year bring an end ("or the beginning of the end or at least the end of the beginning") to the financial crazyness some really really really greedy people have laid on many, if not most of us...

Probably best not to say what I (and no doubt many others) am really thinking, might get in trouble.

Interesting to see how the complaints of a few persistent whingers are handled though. I thought the head shaking was a good feature but just a little bit overdone. Why not provide a user option? Possibly even scaleable? That way everybody's happy. I better shut up though, I'm probably talking too much sense.

So people who could care less about the Battle for Moscow have to pay yet more in order to see features that were misleadingly continually mooted as being in development for CoD, pre release (though cleverly not 'technically' promised I suppose for the pedagogue Sophist's around) . No matter what anybody says, that is the truth. Kept that one quiet pre-CoD release, eh? Fantastic. No more ships or planes either for CoD (AKA 'Slight skirmish over Peckham'). Happy times. I might even be daft enough to buy the sequel.....but you can guarantee others won't. In any event, certainly won't be pre ordering this time. Fool me once.......

Shocking, really.

Ah well, never mind.


Merry Christmas to all, and all the best.

Well said mate.

I just hope we don't have another Northrup/Grumman fiasco incident, to happen here.
1C COD team just remember number name your aircraft please this way you won't be using a company named aircraft just the nomenclature which would be legal.

This is quite a pointless update. Myself and many others are suffering the Crash/memory leak or what ever it is called.

When will it be fixed??

What is the point having any features if you have no idea if the game is going to run for long enough. I looked forward to those JG27 coops but in each one I crashed having run out of memory and this after spending over £2000 on a new PC and further hundreds of pounds on controls and TIR etc. The game worked fine before the last two betas and now it is unplayable except for a short blast on a dogfight server.

Been patient since the release data and supportive all along but now I have just had enough. Shouldn't we get to play CLOD the way it was meant to be played before a new sim/addon comes out.

Anyone else feel like the BOB is going to get left in the dusk unfinished for ever now?

Completely agree. Disgusted, but not surprised. Thanks.



Ok now I've read Luthiers recent post I'm a bit happier.
