Nope.
As B6 said, they don't have any programmers left and finding new ones are nearby impossible.

With that said, "rewrite" is not an option but the few (one?) remaining needs to figure out what the previous devs done.
And the pure fact they don't have a changelog ready and done when releasing a beta reveals lack of structure, important such - not the administrator-fetisch type.
Why aren't the IL-2/46 devs around? Too expensive? Tired of flightsims? Tired of something else?

Maybe this is as good as Dover ever will be.

We were told the patch would only be released when they were happy with it, how can you be happy with this patch?
Are they going to give us any feedback about the problems?
I would pay good money to spend a day as a fly on the wall in Luthier's office(and understanding Russian of course)

I keep seeing them in a constant crisis management scenario.. non stop! lol.

Wow! Just wow!

To answer the original question: If they can fix the stability issues of the engine and simplify the user interface - Battle of Moscow potentially has a great future - and it will bring CoD with it (as the content will be brought forward).

For one thing, more people will have fast enough PCs by then.


It'll also be moddable at some point (if they keep to the original plan), so we'll see additional Battle of Britain content.
If it fails, we'll see a few arcade games and a half dozen aircraft on the DCS engine... but it'll be a decade before someone attempts a project of that magnitude again.



Yes. To the same specifications (ie. they rewrote it the same way as the original was programmed).



I'd like to see a reference for this...

Avimimus, unless they change the net code and add dedicated server files, add some sort of single player experience and proper COOP's i fail to see how BOM will differ from COD, endless pointless low level dogfight servers.
COD and BOM need a community and that's built on sqds and online wars.

You can have it on a silver plate if you insist:

Just don't hesitate to do some search next time.

OUCH!

The future of CoD is bleak at best.

Oden, the link does not support 'don't have any programers left', almost but not quite, it refers to being unable to 'find a free programmers'. Would it not be a bit of a leap to say from this post that 'they don't have any programers left'. Is for me.

Well B6 did say they couldn't find any programmers who would work for free.
