can we give devellopers a second chance with BOM ?

I will wait and see. I do not have confidence in the project management, and indeed their capacity for debacle has been greater than I ever imagined possible.
If the initial reviews are good, I may buy it but I would certainly not give them the benefit of the doubt this time. I also tend to agree with CSThor that without some meaningful mechanics for offline play, it just isn't worth getting.

The only reason I would buy a sequel would be for the improvements it would (should) make to CloD, i.e. weather, comms, bug fixes and other enhancements. I'm actually not that interested in BoM - just a better CloD.

I spend about $4000 on a computer and a 30 inch monitor, flight sim peripherals etc etc etc. Just to play Il2,CloD (had I known the state at release I would've waited a year before upgrading). This program cost me less than $50 and right now (online) is a blast to play. Another $50 for more content is not going to bother me too much. To be honest, if you think $50 (in the West) is too much to play the BEST WWII simulator available right now, you need another hobby.

Yes, we can.

Even if every bug is fixed and every promised feature for CoD is implemented, I still won't buy it if Soviet planes are once again unrealistically uber as they are in IL-2.

You have to remember BigC the number of people who can spend 4k on a new PC in todays economy are few and far between. I spent over 2k, upgraded my video card twice, and I still have graphic issues which are unrealistic. Many who have spent way less do not have these graphic issues, which mean, of course, major graphic problems still exist, regardless of how much your or I spent to play the game.

I too think it one of the best flight sims out there, however, its lacking in offline play and the devs made us feel grateful that they stuck around for a year and half to complete their project. Consumers should not have to beg or whine to get a decent product, it's expected, well, expected if you want to remain in business.
