Thx for the answers anyway.

The original business model was a series of theaters mostly in chronological order. Their next Sequel rumored to be in Russia could be before the FW-190 was built. That said there is absolutely no reason we won't have the FW-190 in future theaters, or MMO's in whatever direction the development decides to go, unless of course the development shuts down.

I really wouldn't worry too much. IMO, it's another 'crossed wire' situation, or a non-denial denial.

He's just saying that they will provide a FW190 when it is justified by the theatre of ops and timescale - that is it will appear in game when the game reaches the appropriate period of the war...and not one second before!

Whether that is the sequel or not we don't know - and won't until THE announcement, confidently predicted for June.

Yes, I saw. thanks. New info about our plans will be in the nearest days.



1) This issue should be considered by the example of the video. Then I can show it to the programmer.
2) We have no date. "When It's Done".



I said another words. I wrote: "Some features was deleted, some features was reworked or replaced. We wrote new engine."
I didn't say "all the features that have disappeared will not be coming back". Of course, I've no full list of this features, I'm not programmer and I don't work with this problems. Waiting for the Readme, please.



I've never heard of them.

You've never heard of Zuti. Hmmm. Have you ever heard of Daidalos Team?

Well, our russian friends are also wondering where the sequel will take place.
But this screenshot shows Volga river in their opinion

Yes, thanks. For example, if we make in sequel Moscow 41, Kerch 42, Kharkov 42 or Stalingrad 42 then you won't see FW-190. If we make in sequel Leningrad 42 (late) or Rhev 42 (late) then you will see its. We plan to extend game after release and add new theatres.

Okay, I think I understand your official answer. Please say hi to zuti from all his fans...unofficially of course.

btw, will there be a "free pussy riot" skin for the su-26 in bom?

[NaBkin]

Good. I like a historical planeset without "balance" or "KeWl" types.

A personal question, unrelated to CloD or any other planned sequels or related projects, BlackSix. What is your personal view on a good campaign, as a successful campaign designer I mean? You have worked on payware releases which, apparently, have been well received by the russian community, but I'm curious which "style" you prefer.
I know some people like long campaigns with a hundred or more missions. I don't. Over time there will be a growing amount of repetetive mission styles and objectives and the longer a campaign becomes the more often this "been there, done that" feeling will pop up. There were some very creative and well-done campaigns shipped with 1946 (especially the VVS fighter campaign which let you start in a MiG-3 at Moscow in early 1942) which worked along the lines of a story being told, or a pilot's diary. I like such campaigns because I am a sucker for good storytelling which weaves the missions into a comprehensive storyline.

Then, of course, is the approach Desastersoft has taken with their recent releases for CloD. They don't focus on story but on player achievements. You have to achieve certain things to "win" the mission (even though winning or losing doesn't hamper the advancement through the campaign). That ain't my cup of tea, personally, but I can see why it appeals to some players.

So, what's your personal take on this matter? What kind of campaigns do you prefer?

If somebody want to understand you wrong he will do it. I don't know Zuti.

I liked to make short campaign (20-25 missions) with a great literary briefings and strong storyline for the main character. In such campaign I showed only one operation but I did it as much detail. You can see example of my work in the '1946'. I made russian campaign VVS'46 but I had severe restrictions on the size of briefings for easy translation.
For long campaigns are very difficult to collect historical data and does not make mistakes.
