    Everyone, either here or on other forums has heard about what is going on. But the only question that can can be answered on this forum is " will we get the betty will we get any flyables in the next patch will there now be a next patch?" it's looking bad.

    The IL-2 series is about so much more than American planes. The PF already is biased toward the American part.
    Japanese planes isnt affected by these economical claims by American companies. Wouldnt it possible to just dump development of American planes and make more IJA/IJN planes and be happy with what we got?

    Don't forget the aircraft of Britain, Australia and others. The USA did the island-hopping, but there are other fronts, like Burma and New Guinea where The Empire ruled, and I ain't talking about Hirohito's.

    There were no American aircraft in the Battle of Britain...

    I am an Australian
    and there was a Boomerang under development these sort of things could be marketable as add-ons to fill this niche market. (third party sold a CFS2 add-on Boomer)However while this sim remains closed architecture (as it must to regain its investment) any third part add- on must be progammed and de-bugged by the team = cost
    I think we collectively are going through the worst days now with the IL2 series and i've seen this sort of thing before in my 20- odd years of enjoying flight sims, I think we'll Know pretty soon whether we'll have to pack our bags.

    Probably not. Being in the throes of a life and death conflict is no excuse for not registering a legally-binding trademark, so if Oleg wanted, he could indeed use term "Eagle Squadron."

    But that would be historically incorrect; during the battle, the Americans that flew with the RAF were dispersed among the squadrons; only later were they bunged into the same basket.
