Evgeny: why no SOW updates any more?

I agree, we were told that updates/news would come more frequently but we just get the occasional 3D models. Like i have already stated some of the big selling shops around here such as 'Game' have looked into SOW and have told me that they can find no information on it at all other than the old release dates, they believe that the whole project must of been shelved or scrapped. Again i doubt that this is the case but if a big company like 'Game' are telling this to customers then its bound to raise questions. Some people have even had their pre-orders refunded from online gaming stores, the speculation has to whether this sim is dead can only be addressed by a few parties who are genuinely in the know. These people in my opinion should be doing all they can to keep us all on board and up to date, after all we will be their customers, so it seems a very strange marketing tactic to give so little info away if the sim is anywhere near completion. If you do a Google search for Storm Of War there is nothing official from anybody. I personally think that the sim is a very long way off completion and if we see it before 2010 i will be happy.

Well we usually get the answer that the developers are too busy to post updates,but really,it would take 2 minutes to do it.

NOTHING official?

This is one of the first links I get from google, a 3 seconds search and all of this information is official, though part of it is translated to German in this thread.

Just look at how old that is, the last update was on the 05/12/2007

The best way to give us some updates now, would be don't give us them at all. I'd prefer: "We'll give you updates when we could do it. Regards".

BoB will not be simple a new sim but the first step of a new sim generation. So is better they could work without stress.

My two cents.

I disagree in a way... that's probably not gonna be the first step but rather "the only step"...
I fail to see anything showing up in the near future that will remotely look like an IL2 let alone SoW... an unique products really .
But then again, what do I know?
Perhaps someone comes out of shadows with some other great sim?

But we were sooo lucky that the man who does miracles got in charge of all this...

Agreed 100%.

Nobody can give definite answers when BoB will be released, nor when UBI is going to lift the ban and officially advertise BoB and frequent updates will start, etc. But again and again Oleg promised regular updates, previews and stuff in a few weeks or days, even on this board, but the only effect it has, is the stuff that evolves again in this post. It's like a bunch of little children waiting for their candy and it's again and again postponed and they get more and more disappointed and angry. If anything IS Olegs fault, then it's promising something he cannot control again and again.

After watching this happen so many times, not only on this board, not only with this game, I'd prefer a simple statement: "You get updates when we are ready to post them - period." or the good and golden "When it's done."

Too many words to nothing...Its all time the same think, all of replayers of questions like " why dont have any updates? or any think about SOWBOB, in this forum or oleg forum, is a members like me and yours, i dont read any thread write by a administrator of this forum or ubisoft or people of Maddox company....Im a fan of il2 and keep flyng at my il21946 4.08 , but i dont understand why someone reply with defence and justify this no return of simple questions.....Why no official replys? Anyone want to view secrets?.....burocracy to give some news? hahahhahahha 2 moth to aprove a two or tree jgs? thats is too crazy justify to me......i dont need to ofence anyone but why someones write about they dont know?

[Feuerfalke]

You are perfectly right, grecobd.

More than 2 month from approval to actually posting them is really absolutely ridiculous.

Unless the answer to the approval-thing was "NO", of course



Yeah, life is complicated if you just can't do what you'd like to do and people keep bashing you for what you are not allowed to do.
