Why so little interaction with the community?

There are a hundred possible higher priorities than massaging the feelings of a few people in the forums who immediately take everything he says as a "Promise". I'm sure he couldn't post quick enough if something positive has happened. Until then we will have to wait.

Well, as an avid retail purchase IL2 supporter from the start it took 5 years of "development" after the last iteration of IL2 for CLoD to finally see the light of day, that upon release, was so flawed it crashed and burned on takeoff.

More than another year has now passed with even the last official patch of two more than a year old and now the developers tell the community all effort has been directed at a sequel in tandem with acknowledging CLoD is "not what we wanted it to be" BUT that there will only be one last patch for it.

Bottom line, the community faithful have waited more than 6 years for an admittedly too flawed game to fix only to be told the developers have moved on to a sequel to hopefully get a return on what financial resources they have left to produce it.

At my age I may not be here after another 6 to 7 year wait for a no-doubt multi-patched sequel that ultimately will, maybe, hopefully, be everything CloD isn't......
