I think you're all missing the underlying message here.

From what Oleg is saying, it looks like we will see SoW soon, but it will be without a LOT of the features that were promised and may contain some serious bugs.
It looks as if he's being pressured to release the project before he thinks it's ready which is exactly what we've been theorizing. That if the game was release at all this year, it would be a forced issue before it was ready and will not contain a whole heck of a lot of flyable planes.

If you all remember, Il-2 was a sim that was setting some new standards in industry. Not all understand it in the beginning. However all things that we have loaded into the engine and even we haven’t used in the beginning – most of them later was working. Some technologies were copied by other deelopers (even not simers), some – still are unique.

And what I would like to say: BoB with its first generation will have also many things that probably will be working later in time step by step. But anyway with the first release it will also set some new standards in sim industry for WWII flight sims. Be sure.

Not all things that I’ve personally designed in the past will go in the release of BoB. But you all probably even don’t know what was planned and partially already developed.

X-day release: This now will depending of publisher and our fast woks over the bugs.
Bugs are present. The product is probably the most serious in industry in programming of features, internals etc.
So I can’t tell exact date right now. But we are close, very close in our works of final release version. We need to polish all the coming in final release features. I personally wouldn’t release the product that have serious bugs that was known. It was our principle in the past, it is now.'
