S!
IL-2 and 4.1x patches are in no way a competitor to SoW as they are not even in same ballpark so a theory of Sow vs 4.10 sounds a bit laughable. Last time TD was localizing the patch and said there was a lot of translation to do etc. and bugs to iron out so it takes time. IL-2 gets more content, bug fixes etc. made for FREE by TD and I appreciate that and can not CLAIM for a set release date. Those who want more planes or whatever just get the player made content incorporated to the game, simple.
So waiting for both 4.10 and SoW..both have their place on my HDD
