To be honest I don't think that Stalingrad is really a very good choice of battle for what is primarily still a flight-sim. That battle was a real slug-fest: advances measured in yards, mainly infantry combat with both sides close together and often indistinguishable; battles inside factories, rubbled buildings. There won't be much to see from the air. (and if the current engine can't even generate a London bus to bring even a semblance of life to a very sterile London, how are they going to make piles of rubble in Stalingrad look interesting?)

Great choice for something like Red Orchestra but not a flight-sim. Kursk would be a much better idea, though that may be pushing the time-line for the first Eastern Front instalment too far.

On B6's latest posts, there does seem to be an increasing air of gloom underneath it all. Can be easy to read too much into the often cryptic statements but it is about time that someone from this company got a grip and realised that they don't need any more panic caused by poor or misleading communication.

So when is the BIG announcement going to come? Still slated for June or delayed?

The story has changed so completely in the last months, first with the confirmed shift of focus from COD to BOM, then the MMO announcement which cast a big question mark over previously stated plans.

I think we need and deserve some clarification and comment on all this.
