People enjoy the IL2 because it covers the war all over the world to a large extent. I personally, like the early conflict on the Eastern Front and the early conflict in the Pacific War. Everyone has their own little niche, but with the BOB it is going force everyone to the one little niche (BOB), that is of little or no interest to a lot of people.
Oleg must make a way to keep the IL2 intact even if he takes the old IL2 and moves it into a newer software engine. Let us continue to fly 8 poly current aircraft and incrementally add in the 16 poly aircraft.
This is a marketers dream. The users of Il2 are still out there clamouring for more and more.
The sim is a hit, what the hell else could you want.
You might think those are strong words, but someone needs to get the message.

There is Storm of War:BoB, which admittedly may get boring fast if it's as dull as some games already in the market about this particular WWII event -strongest point here for sowbob will be multiplayer support though-, but then that's the first game they are launching using the new engine. There's also the Korean sim in the works, the next expansion for the new engine (whatever the theater may be) and so on. AFAIK these expansions/games were intended to be linked similarly to what was done in IL2.
I wouldn't depict it as one static, boring game that will be running for years with little to no changes, their plan certainly suggests the opposite
