Question Worth waiting for expansions ?

I left CoD on the shelves for long time even though i was coming here sometimes to have a look at updates.

What I saw from the latest non-official updates is a great improvement on the original game but at the same time the setting has not moved an inch from the summer of 1940 and in almost 3 years no new planes have been added. I expected to see the latter Channel battle with Mk V & 109-F or even 190s; just fixes with gargantuan waiting times between patches.

Since the next chapter of IL2 won't be anything really new (eastern front again) I wanted to know if I can finally buy the game expecting some serious third party addons (not patches) like happened to IL2 or just pass once more...

Suggest me

OK I will...next time you have a game that you are interested in, Buy It right away and support the developer.

Well, CloD is worth its price... it`s like 10 bucks, so you won`t do anything wrong... If there is going to be some new theatre, it will be malta becaus of the planes that already exist...

Yes I just came to know about the price. Do you really think is it possible to see major additions to CloD or just suppositions ? Is there for CloD some "Team Daidalos" that is going to produce something like that ?

I don't get it. You mean: "Wait for the next title" or what ?

Well I think they were waiting for you to join the development team in order that these miracles could happen but you didn't so they decided not to quit their jobs and work for nothing. I am as disappointed as you with these updates not bringing me the moon on a stick for absolutely nothing in barely any time, such a selfish lot.

Thanks guys, I'll have a look there, but if this is the general situation I suppose it's better to wait for the next chapter. Maybe expansions will be on the way with it.

Apart from the stupid rest of your post, what's this supposed to mean?
I'm just asking for somekind of expansion I would be happy to pay for.

caprera, what people are trying to tell you here is:

times have changed. It is not 1946 anymore...
This also means, that you just can not add a new plan within a couple of weeks. Every new addition made to the game takes hours and hours of time. The new reflections you see for example took 3 men to work for 3 months....

Team Fusion is doing a great job. They are investing a lot lot lot of time for free! Just for the Community...

What this also means is: You should not except anything. Be greatfull for what TF gives you, but don`t dare to ask for things. This is in some way unrespectful towards TF as they give their best and they really do it with passion and what`s most: they do it for free.

And what you already may have noticed: Some people get a little upset with you bumping in like "now that trouble seems to have gone, can I have all the good things?". The Community went trough a hard time and in some way everyone contributed to keeping the game alive: may that be with organising campaigns (e.g. osprey) or supporting ATAG with money or only keeping squadrons alive...

I personally do not have a problem with you coming and asking, but please try to understand people. There was a lot going on... and there is a lot of frustration around which is understandable...

AND: For the official part: The development of the Cliffs of Dover engine has stopped. You wont see any official add-on for this game engine. With the announced game, a whole new chapter will begin.
