The US release date needs to be moved up 1 week it makes no sense at all for this

Releasing a demo for this game was a huge boost in the chances IL2 will be a huge success over HoE.

Also, I seem to remember news that production on HoE was cancelled for several months earlier this year. It was only recently announced that it was being planned for release just a few weeks ago. That may tell you something, like that game could potentially be incomplete when it ships. Personally, I expect HoE to be an incomplete, hastilly released and arcadey product being sold as a tag-on to the potential success of IL-2.
