Development takes too long I would scratch

@ mazex & Roy

I knew you'd post some comment, nonsense or not.

Indeed I have some knowledge about this, as I worked on several games and game-related projects so far, but *I* still can restrain myself from trying to teach professionals.

Now go figure if your comments were the first or later.


@ Bloblast

You named the topic "Development takes too long I would scratch..."

How do you know that? Care to share your wisdom about the current status with us? Other than that I must indeed conclude that you are pretending the project is in a deep crysis and you also pretend to know what to do to speed it up. (infact you even pretended to know what machines people will fly...)

I think we could also lose the Spitfire,Hurricane,Me109,and 110 and concentrate on the grass.

I still intend to spend most time on the lawn mower cutting the grass. Oleg is planning to model some vintage Qualcast mowers isn't he?

Yes. And cows and sheep version 2.0 IIRC.

Yes I also agree with the original poster if the rarer planes are holding up release even by a month or two I would scratch them for now.There are a host of reasons Oleg needs to get this game out asap OR give us a definitive release (even the QUARTER of whatever year)I would consider myself a loyal supporter of the game(I have bought everything Oleg has released since the original IL2) however I am disappointed to have to check daily at least three forums(of which sadly this 'official' one is far and away the least active and interesting-I think this is my second post here) for the latest community 'news'.I am disappointed that the 'parallel' IL2 community have not been embraced for the revival they have given the game but rather been made 'unmentionables'.I am unbelievably disappointed at the whole 'Two Weeks' syndrome .Time was when it meant in a couple of months eg early patches for IL2/FB .Then it progressed to 6-9 months eg Pacific Fighters and the Pe2 add on etc ...1946 ?A year plus ???SOW 3 years +++??? .And 4.09 whats going on there ???
Giving repeated wildly optimistic release dates does not 'keep us interested' ...It leads to friction eg the inevitable friction/flame wars between the Be Patient camp and the people who would like updates as in the 'Happy Days' of IL2 PR anyway...

I doubt Oleg and Co. will give a release date for Storm of War given previous experiance with letting on an intended release date. If you guys think anything less than 3 years to develop a title with its own bespoke engine is too long then you have no idea about software development.

So you can restrain yourself from trying to teach professionals? Bashing every other post here - how could you know? I've led software projects with bigger budgets than SoW:BoB (no, I will not tell you for which company). Beeing in forums like this is something I enjoy in my spare time, when they don't deteriorate due to a few users not beeing able to follow normal social codes they hopefully would in real life.

You do have knowledge that is of interest for this forum - but why don't you just take it a bit easy instead of stepping on peoples toes? This thread is an exellent example. Why did you post a rude answer like number two above for someone making a suggestion? If you do not agree with the poster then tell him why in a normal tone, instead of a flame like above. That does not bring this forum forward.

Bloblast knew full and well what kind of response he could get from posting a comment like that...

You really surprise me again and again. Again you give EXACTLY the reason I answered to this thread the way I did and it's really funny that your comment does exactly the same what you just damned so much.

Of course with your lengthy top secret knowledge of software development with millions of dollar budget, you took the suggestion seriously, didn't you? I bet you worked on Microsofts ME or Vista, right - LOL


Sorry, now, seriously, what is your answer to that idea? You surely didn't come here to just flame me, did you? Should Oleg cancel these planes?

Roy, same for you. What do you think about this really great idea?



@JG52Uther
I'd like to cancel all British planes for the ability to pick flowers after landing.
