So, with that, there probably won't be another patch until the second or third week of May, and we'll release exact details closer to that date. Updates to AI, FM and plane performance figures are in the works, but they take longer to implement and test. Hopefully you'll see the first round of them the next patch over.

We're about ready to call it a night - we'll check on your results tomorrow. Thanks everyone for your help.

Yes, go on take some rest. In spite of what some people are saying, you deserve it. Every single free-from-work day is worth gold and I`m sure that every person who does hard work agrees. For me 5 to 6 days is really ok. And ofcourse don`t forget about some real vacation in June/July/August. You really must recharge your worker batteries and I`m sure many of us understand.

As to the next patch coming out, I`m ok with you giving an approximate date as 1C needs to keep reminding the community that the current state of the game is not to stay for long. Yes, I know that those who saw the 2001 IL2 grow don`t need to be told so, but we seem to have more and more newcomers. Also, in my opinion you should state whether some features/bugs :
- are being worked on,
- are put to lower priorities list,
- will be left as are.

I wish you good weather to spend some quality time with your families so hopefully you`ll be more optimistic. We`ll still be here anyway.
