It sucks that the new il2 series is stillborn. What we have right now is playable and I was looking forward to other theatres. The CloD engine looked perfect for the air to ground combat on the Eastern Front. Since this is not going to happen I'm looking forward to see what the merged team can come up with.
I have been playing RoF since it was released. Bought pretty much all aircraft and think they have a good bussiness model. What made RoF work for me is all the unknown aircraft from the era. Just fun to see what they could do. With WWII I'm much more familiar and know allready that I won't be buying more than maybe 10 aircraft. In Il2-1946 and RoF I ended up flying maybe 5 aircraft on a regular basis. So, if you want me to buy airplanes you better also sell me the theatre maps to go with the planes.
Goodbye Luthier and thanks for at least having the program stable before deepsixing it! Still keeping my fingers crossed that in a year or 5 someone ressurects it with better average hardware around.
