The new Oleg Maddoxs

Well I think Luthier has already made a name for himself.

I think it took 6 years to get at the level of what it is today.

While I have a wait and see attitude and thus far am still willing to drop some of my hard earned $$ on this product... I have to disagree with this.. IL2 1.02v .. was a pretty decent well rounded product in 2002.. When FB came out after the first few patches it was a decent product.. It was certainly not as fleshed out as it is now.. but it held it's own against anything else on the market.. I think muchy of the disappointment with this was that given the long wait .. don't forget.. we all sat at UBI for what ... 5+ years from the time we first got wind of BoB..? When it came out everyone expected it to be more... functional.. especially considering that the theater was sop limited.. and it wasn't.. but time will indeed tell.. and I have not written off 1C yet.. but I do have a raised eyebrow..

I bought the first one for £30/35? ages ago - never really had any gameplay out of it. But I WILL buy the sequel /upgrade. I think most people on here will want to stick with it and will pay up - despite, or possibly because of all the trauma - in order to get to a place where the sim is where it's meant to be. There is, undeniably, a lot of potential.
