The outrage would make the original CloD release pale in comparison.

Based on the 1C track record..

CoD planes, maps, etc will be included in the next release.

That is the formula that 1C used with IL-2 and it worked well, so I don't see why they would just toss all those planes and maps

If that's the case then I'm a happy camper.

Ilya seems like a good guy with a great personality. The negativity is incredible here. IL2 Cliffs of Dover is visually and technically excellent. And the problems you speak of are far from deal breakers. I think people spend to much time posting here and not enough acctually playing the game to have an idea about what they are talking about.

I noticed sir you didn't add sound wise, VERY clever.. for with the radio broken not being able to do/give radio commands to wing men and the abhorrent sounds that came with the game is a deal breaker.
Hmmm my wingmen is badly damaged ill send him home......Ooops no i cant, you guess the reason why? I prefer the SP side i dont play MP and the radio thing IS a DEAL BREAKER for me pure and simple. We all have opinions and that is mine

But i thank the OP for his post. news is better than no news and i hope he keeps it up.

Aye, but will support for the BoB aspect continue? As it stands, it's arguably the most inferior off-line representation of Battle of Britain on the market (in terms of air-combat-simulation). There is nothing that immerses you in the battle. It's not a simulation; it's a technical representation. I seriously hope this game manifests (offline) into something at least as immersive as BoB2.

Everyone is clear what sequels are right. Not new games but addons to the existing game to make it fuller. Like Forgotten Battles got. About five times it's original size.

That depeonds on your definition of 'support'

If your definition of support is 'reasonable' and means you will get all the new features that BS mentioned, than the answer is yes. Assming 1C does what they have allways done (read track record) and include all the planes, maps, etc from thier previous version into their next version (read sqeual)

If your definition of support is 'unreasonable' and means you expect every plane, boat, train, car, wagon, ice cream stand that was aval in the real world during the summer of BoB.. Than the answer is most likly no

I'm talking OVERALL simulation here. CloD is technically amazing in many departments; but it doesn't feel like the BoB. Maybe it's a British thing, but there is nothing in the off-line department to immerse you in the day-to-day routine that was the BoB. BoB2 does this perfectly, and even when you remove the dynamic campaign that BoB2 has, the AI and the missions all equate to an experience which is far more immersive. This is just one of the reasons why I hope that CloD is not just a small stepping stone in the team's road of expansion. It would be sad for them to neglect the areas of CloD which they have failed to cover/improve/develop (be it graphical or relative to gameplay).

1++ If there was a way to get IL2's functionality, BOB2's immersion and CLoD's graphics.
