I support you, devs. I bought the game despite knowledge of the many problems (as soon as the epilepsy policy was changed). I have faith in that you will patch the hull and work it into something very special.

I also want to point out that 5 years of excellent customer support with IL2 games deserves our trust. The IL2 team have proven me wrong and wrong again over the years. Most vital issues with the original have been fixed so I really have no reason no to trust them at all. A minimum of how I can show that trust is buying the game now, when it is really important that we show we are here. I hope that our colleagues over the Atlantic share the same enthusiasm. The trust has not risen from nothing. We`ve seen how the orginal IL2 changed and we want to see CloD being the same.

I want you guys to take care of yourself foremost. Otherwise, you will burn out, with a sense of distress by even hearing the name "Cliffs of Dover" because of all the bad associations. Exercise: There is a sweet spot where one gets huge benefits with the least effort, around 30 minutes of aerobic activity. This can be a brisk walk or a jog, depending on your physical condition. Biking. Swimming. Do it every day or every two days. Trust me on this, it gives enormous benefits to concentration, sleep, lowers anxiety by a large amount, feel much more awake & happy. SLEEP 7-9 hours every day. Eat regularly: no more than 2-3 hours between ingesting something; this is blood glucose levels. Take many breaks away from work (even if small) and do something totally unrelated to the game for at least several hours each day. Don't bring work home. Take at least a full day off per week where the game isn't even allowed to be mentioned. And when working on it, try to think of the things you enjoy about your job. Make it fun, not unpleasant pressure & stress. In the end, everyone will do a better job and be much happier doing it. 
Sacrificing health & sleep is not something that helps productivity in the long term, because even if one spends more time on work, one performs so much worse, while feeling like crap.

Couldn`t have said it better myself. Look after your health guys, and don`t let the critic minority fool you. Most of us are waiting aptiently. Take your time. Haters will hate and will never be satisfied with your work. For the time being all we want to know is that you are working on the issues so we can have even more faith that this sim becomes 90% funcional in a few months.
Don`t get negative! Remember that long time IL2 gamers trust in your work!
