why they won't do such a thing?
I can only see two answers, and frankly both of them are deeply upsetting: they either won't use the same engine, or they just don't want to give those patches, as an enforcement to buy BoM. which all of us would have bought anyway..

So if you were gonna by BoM anyway, why the post?
They are running a business, and its the same as its always been, they release a game, patch it (though admittedly its usually more than a few patches), then release a sequel which moves the game on, but also updates the original content. Then it will be patched and the cycle begins again.
They are expecting their long term customers to by BoM & they are depending on it, because if they don't there wont be anymore IL2.
I don't see why them using a different game engine upsets you, the current engine has a ton of problems, one of which is that you can't get a plane to work by the book at higher altitudes, if it can even get there, which many can't, and there are many more.
I think that BoM will give everyone a nice surprise & will be everything that CoD should of been. Here's hoping!
