so, as example, the opening of a bombbaydoor or a canon change in a plane are graphicengine related ?
strange, but than.......ok, lets wait.

every small patch they make will take time away from making the big fix which will address the important issues like optimization, CTD's, frame rates etc, these are the issues that affect larger groups, individual prefferences can have no priority in deciding what to patch.

now, THIS is an update, and a rather honest and realistic one.

thank you!

PS: I would prefer though that you would stop to keep pushing the "an aicraft alone it takes us one year" relative truth. Actually, building an aicraft up to IL2CoD standards it might take even 15-20 years to make, IF you're talking about how long it would take to a new born baby to do it. But for the 2012 game developing industry standard average modeller, it should't actually take more than a couple of months.
