Friday Official Update, June 22, 2012

[Sternjaeger II]

you know, I miss the days when Oleg was still at the wheel, at least he wasn't a coward and came to talk with the customers, His Highness Luthier is either too snob (or more probably too embarrassed?) to show his face around here anymore. He speaks a perfect English yet he needs someone else to give the (bad) news about the sim that obviously will never be completed.

We're one year after release now and we still don't have a finished product, well done for having defrauded thousands of customers Maddox Games!!

If there's one thing that I've learned since the modders' community flourished is that there was still so much that could be squeezed out of IL-2, yet the poor decisions of the devs made for a badly managed choice of starting a project that was surely great on paper, but lacked something that you simply can't buy: talent and modesty (and there's SO much of it out there! Have you tried the IL-2 1946 Hs129 or the Do217?! Not to mention all the work for the jet era... These folks shell out gems FOR FREE!).

You ruined the experience for a lot of people, I hope you realise that. Uh and for the record, most of us don't care for your Battle of Moscow, you're AGAIN doing the mistake of releasing something that YOU like, but that doesn't take into account the taste of your CUSTOMERS.

well last time I checked I didn't see any La5 in the MTO or PTO, so the ring tightens to that part of the world that has very dull landscapes and aeroplanes that nobody but a certain (read Russian) customer base gives a rat's bottom about..

Look at the bottom of page 26. No you won't see an attractive girl, but you will see something which is quite definately not Moscow.

Very funny, you know it became a brand...
Anyway somewhere like the MTO, ETO, even the bloody SCW, but enough of those endless bright green prairie scenarios.. They could also concentrate on the last stages of the Russian offensive and come a bit more west..

The peak of sales and interest was with Pacific Fighters if memory serves, so why not following the original road map laid down by the good ol' Oleg years ago, who said "it's likely that after the new BoB sim is released we will concentrate on the MTO"..

Just give us Oleg back please, at least he cared about his customers.
