But that seems to have been thrown out from the window as can be read from answers to community. Sequel is a standalone more or less, CoD a bargain bin product after last official patch. No big deal, but kiss goodbye to merged installs?

The idea of merged is a little misleading..

Some think it means the sequel has to be installed over (merged) CoD to be able to use the maps and fly the planes from CoD..

But that may not be the case at all..

As we have seen with IL-2 over the past 10 years there as been several sequels, and most of them were 'stand alone' products

Where each one of those 'stand alone' contained all the maps and planes from the previous versions of IL-2, thus each 'stand alone' was in essence a 'merging'

So the way I see it there is only 3 possibilities here

1) The sequel installs over CoD and we can use all of the maps and planes of CoD.
2) The sequel is stand alone but contains all the maps and planes of CoD.
3) The sequel is stand alone but does NOT contain all the maps and planes of CoD.

I am fine with option 1 and 2, only option 3 would suck IMHO!!
