At that point they either felt there was more money to made with the IL-2 series or they found BOB was almost impossible with 2005 computers or a combination of both.

Might also be multi-core support is adding complexity. I recall around the time 3D cards went mainstream, there were a number of games in development that ended up needing to rebuild their engines to handle the transition. Considering how tricky multithreading is, especially if you're going for true multi-core support, instead of the dual-core shortcut, it wouldn't supprise me if we see a wave of major PC games delayed in the next year or so.
