Sorry Vector, I didn't mean to insult you personally, it's just that I get a bit tired with these kind of debates.
It'll be here when it's here, and if it's not we can do something else.
I hope it won't be a case of 'the chase is better than the catch' when it does arrive, but I somehow doubt it.
Offensive thuggishness humbly retracted.

When Oleg says soon I'm figuring sometime maybe on the outside of 6 months which is relatively soon on the whole. Once he gets to a point there will hopefully be a marketing machine getting turned on and we'll see official logos, box art, promo trailers, videos, an official website, etc.

No illusions here but I do have an understanding (albeit in my limited way) on what development is like and the mammoth task that Oleg set out for. Storm of War isn't just a game... it really is a foundation. We could see a full WWII combined arms simulator in maybe 5 years time based on the same engine. That is my anticipation. So I can forgive a protracted development period.

I doubt very much that we will see a combined armed forces sim in 5 years as the developers will not be even close to developing all the air combat theaters. That said you could see a gradual increase in controlable vehicles etc as the SOW series progresses in the next 10 to 15 years which could lead to a complete combined forces sim. With inclusion of modders early in the SOW series we should see some amazing things as long as there is very good quality control.
