Lets talk business, for once: You don't have any patch, do you? This is all delay tactics while the team continues glueing the Addon together, to be sold as: "Full-Feature, including Graphics Rework, AI commands etc. - oh, and a bit of the Battle of Moscow. Includes everything you have wished to be included in CoD for just $49.95. Special Edition available ($69.99)".
Mix in some Il-2-Screenshots and some random graphs off the Internet and your ruse is good to go...
And before you get angry again: Yes, it was a nice gesture to show us some pics of Il-2. It really was... the first three times. Now, the intent is clear.

This has got to be the truth. I could understand it if a single volunteer, amateur software developer who made a little game by himself is late with his updates due to other tasks - BUT you are at least supposed to be a full-fledged Development studio. With programmers, Graphic artists etc. that are supposed to have in-depth knowledge of their matters. How such very trivial tasks such as fixing Radio commands, is beyond your capabilities and is not fixed after 13 months, I cannot understand, whatever explanation you offer. Oh, and repeated "rewrites" of the Graphics engines and consequently falling into deep bug-pits each and every time (well, or probably not, see above) doesn't make the whole picture look any brighter at all, neither in terms of decision-making nor in terms of ability.
I know, Blizzard is waaaaaaay bigger and waaaay better funded, but, for WoW, if any major problem occurs there, they have been able to shove out a hotfix within 24 hours each time. Regardless of the problem. That makes me think.

The engine of CoD is the same as the engine of the sequel, Luthier already told this. So the issues they strive to solve here, are also issues for the sequel. And they already told that they would not be stupid enough to release a new sequel before issuing this patch and hope that a lot of people would buy it.

don't mind the trolls with their absurd conspiracy theories, they do not represent the majority here.
One can't write this often enough...

yes, yes, you'll see! You'll see who is right and who isn't! *screaming while being dragged away*

And this one time I can say it with 100% certainity: The majority has long since left...there is a 'certain bias' with optimism, don't you think?
Just ask the guy with the tinfoil hat. He has the truth in his hands, after all.

edit: Oh, "performance above 7000m" has already been moved to the sequel. 1-0 for me, for now.
