This is great - If it's real?
Think about it. I think everyone's most worry-some thing in the back of their minds was the possibility of these guys shutting the doors. Well it looks like not only is that not gonna happen, there's 2 flight sims being made in parallel on the eastern front
Though, I'm as disappointed as anyone with the painfully slow fix of this sim, it really makes you wonder if and when the merge happens - this sim with BoM/BoS or w/e it will be, if that foundation is actually solid - learned from their mistakes and perhaps the integration of this sim into the next (like 46) includes all the major fixes we've been wanting forever. I know this is a long shot, but even in this little blog Luthier still talks of drivable tanks, AAA and the likes. We all remember those videos - the game engine looks the same. So perhaps the real issue, which I know is sad for the customer of BoB, is that when they pushed forward on the sequel, to be grandfathered into many of the fixes or should I say, pushed a patch with them all, that would mean cleaning the code without all the new features in the sequel, which would be more of a mess than we're already in now - meaning it would be impossible.
My hopes from some of the earlier communication with B6 (talking about how missions will work / online etc of the sequel) is we'll get the proper BoB after it's merged into the new stuff of BoM or BoS or w/e it is, similar to 46 in a way. It's wishful thinking, I know. But I'm sure the team know they have to deliver a successful working product or they will lose this market forever, and/or possibly their jobs. I still think (if this is real) this is the best news I've heard in a long time.
All I know is if this post is real, WWII flight simming will continue to live on
