Can't say anything about Oleg, and I don't know if any of you are wondering about me, but just read this thread to understand why I personally don't post on sim-related forums much anymore.
I'm actually in Moscow right now, in Oleg's house as of this moment to be exact. So this one is from both of us.
First of all. Regarding the console version of IL-2, let's get a few things straight. It was first unveiled weeks ago at a Russian trade show. The fact that you guys just found out about it today has nothing to do with the update. It's the fact that I'm in Moscow this week that prompted it.
Secondly, the console Il-2 has nothing to do with anything Storm of War. It is not done by anyone in Oleg's team. Il-2 source code was handed over to an external developer about a year ago, and they've been happily working on it on their own. It uses exactly 0 resources from Storm of War. Everything you see in that video was built by the guys in that other team. Oleg is not involved with it in any way. I'm really quite puzzled by some people's reaction and I'm a little at a loss for words, but what I'm trying to say basically is that it has absolutely no bearing on anything Storm of War related, and some of you guys amaze me.
Now, onto the update itself. Each plane shown there takes at least 6 full months of work to build. Some of the more complex planes can take 12 months plus (compared to an average of 1 month for an Il-2 model). Whoever said things like the whole update could be done in 3 weeks, ha! If you can build anything of that quality in 3 weeks, prove it, and Oleg promises you'll have a job the very next day, collecting the highest paycheck in his team, and playing BoB alpha in the afterhours as an added bonus. And I'll personally pay your moving expenses to Moscow from anywhere in the world.
I.e. jees louise you guys!
