My guess is that most people have left this forum and the Ubi one as well. You just see the same few people post, with hardly any traffic. All that are left are the Oleg worship fan boys. I am sure the game will be released when it is done but a lot of people won't be around. Many will come back to the game when released and many won't. Give people information with regular updates and you can nurture a large fan base.

Have fun at your ever shrinking hot dog party. And I won't let the door hit me.

It's true this forum and the fan fair around IL2 has died down to only the hardcore nuts.

The problem is PC based WWII Combat Sims are.... Well shall we say on the decline. Take a look at all the combat sims out there... They are at a minimum of a few years old.

I know Black Shark is on it's way but it's not going to be that big of a splash because what advertising have you see recently... That would be none. How many World of Warcraft Commercials have you seen?

It's really sad to see just how tiny the Genre is. Go back through all the titles in the past. It's really amazing to see how much it's shrunk.

Give me a break, you cannot help yourself and we all know you will be back

Agreed the genre is small, it always has been. WOW has 10 000 000 players.
SOW will never have that many. For one you need a joystick, that excludes a lot of people straight away.
The important thing for people like bhunter2112 to note is this is not a SOW site but an IL2 site. The SOW website is not even up.
All bhunter2112 posts is "I want an update" "I am a customer" blah, blah, blah...

Again the genre is smaller but the products coming out are better.
