(70max online any given time x 3 shifts of population peaks, rough numbers I know, but probably still more than are actually playing).

Just checking our stats: There's almost 2000 unique names on our server in a little over 2 weeks time. I'd say most are waiting for the patch.

Online play hasn't been always marginal ?

So what you are intimating is that there are under 210 people who do nothing but fly for 8 hours a day every day of the week? I think you need to consider it a bit further.

Oh dear...

RoF? Last time I fired up that game the players were around a 100. Might have logged on at a wrong time though.

Here's about 1.5 weeks worth: http://216.52.148.29:2012/ATAGStats/ATAGStatsV1.html
Almost 2000 people - not to bad me thinks.

And I've never seen ROF have 200 people. It's rare to have 50. Actually we usually have more on a single server in IL2COD than all of rof mp combined.

Can we reasonably expect another western allies expansion, or will this focus towards where the sales went from here on out?

Learn some maths and stop making ridiculous assumptions would be my recommendation...
