Over IL-2's 10+ years we received dozens of free updates that not only fixed bugs but added new planes and maps

And included several sequels that we paid for. Where each sequel not only added new planes, maps, features, but it also included all the resources (planes, maps, ect) from the previous versions.. An all in one package that resulted in maps from all around the world and some 500+ planes to fly

Had these people only been old enough to experience all this I think they would not be so worried/upset by the news that 1C is working on a sequel.

I agree, hopefully the development will survive this very rough start to accomplish all thats possible. The Battle of Britain scenario was a great place to start, but probably wasn't as big a seller in Russia as the Battle for Moscow would have been. The release of the Battle for Moscow should put the development in a much more stable financial situation that will make what we all want from the sim more likely. Many people are not going to be happy, but you have to look at the big picture, especially on a project as complex, and time consuming as this one. Never mind having to rewrite basic features. I've never seen a project have so many setbacks, but understand how it can happen.
