Final Release of Battle of Kuban Delayed (A little bit)

[Jocko]

Understandable and perfectly acceptable delay.  Hope that mods on mode and improved AI make it into the release or sometime in the new year.  Happy Holidays to the team.

[WIS-Redcoat]

I don’t really know another game developer that feels bad for a few weeks delay, Most games are heavily delayed. Jason must be one hell of a producer.

 

 

P.s. just fix the main menu in-game sound bug and the Samsung VR IPD bug and I will forgive you.

[fjacobsen]

For me  it´s no problem....

 

So far this team has delivered everything as promised, and though I hoped to see it being released (Final release) around Xmas, I find it more than acceptable beong honest in order to make the final release as snooth and bugfree as possible.

As always communictaion with the community is top notch.

ah, good now I'm not chomping at the bit F5ing everyday...thanks and Merry Christmas Happy new years!!!

[simplyjames]

No worries, enjoy the holidays!

 

One question I have is will there be any form of update before release? Or are we simply waiting for release?

 

Regardless, thanks for the hard work.

[Pinball]

Better to give the team some much deserved rest and collect their strength during the holiday season, instead of getting burned out and deliver their customers a inferior product. 

 

Personally i`m happy to see how the career system shapes out, so there is no problem for me to wait a little longer.

[Adj]

Thanks for the update Jason.

I really appreciate all of the hard work that has gone in to making BOX such great flight simulator. 

 

Happy Christmas and New Year to you all.    

 

[No601_Swallow]

Career screenshots look absolutely epic. In fact, I think it's cruel   to show us...

 

Happy Yuletide to the team!

[=EXPEND=CG_Justin]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I really admire the level of transparency and honesty from this team. It truly is second to none! Although I am a bit disappointed by this news, it's not soul crushing. We have a great sim now, and I have no problem waiting. I know this next patch is going to be epic. Go, enjoy your families, enjoy the holidays, and I wish each and everyone here, both the team and virtual pilots, a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year!

[A-E-Hartmann]

The campaign interface is excellent.

Many thanks to you Jason and the whole team for everything you do.

I wish you a very good Christmas party to all. Enjoy this well deserved rest.

Continue to make us dream and I wish the best for the future.

[ICDP]

Take your time guys.  It is looking awesome and a few more weeks to get it right will be far more beneficial in the end.

[[DBS]El_Marta]

Life continues after the holidays. No worries. Take your time.

 

Happy holidays.

Absolutely no problems,

 

after all you guys have consistently delivered, a delay is nothing and i like the honest communications.

 

Have a great Christmas.

 

Cheers

The career mode looks really promising. It must have been an awful lot of work to research all the units and their correct bases during the different periods.

 

Nice to the see that 13.(slow.)/JG52 was also included. Will the unit have Slovak ranks?

[schurem]

All good things take their time. You guys are human. A few weeks or even months are but a sneeze. its all good.

No, but I hope to someday.

The team has done a pretty remarkable job with timely updates and releases.

 

A few weeks delay is something normal for a big project  - the primary goal is to get it right. Nobody should have a problem with a short delay like this.

[[APAF]VR_Spartan85]

Still can't wait for release but thank you for letting us know the expected time it will be... suppose it will be more of an Orthodox Christmas present then being released in January

 

Keep up the good work!

 

S~!

[C6_lefuneste]

It was close to be perfect, but two or three weeks late are not the end of the world...It's better to be a little late than to publish a bugged version.

Maybe you can help us to wait by giving us more details about the new coop mode, the campaigns, the new planes and so on ?

 

Finally the bad news is for the dev team: hollidays may be short...

[LuftManu]

Don´t worry, we understand

 

Good things take good time

 

Kind regards

[Lusekofte]

I find the constant improvements and ability to listen to wishes from the community despite of the heavy workload at hand very inspiering. The fact that we get a notice and not totally silence shows also a devotion to the community. I am impressed . We can survive delays 

[Stig]

Looks like I won't get to try anything out till spring   Away with work early Jan until March.. bummer but oh well! 

 

If it means that you have the rest of the year off, don't come here expecting sympathy 

[LLv44_Mprhead]

No worries!

[HagarTheHorrible]

Life is more important than a game schedule. I'm happy to wait a little longer and get a measured product rather than a rushed one.

 

Get out, unwind and enjoy X-mass and New Year. Come back refreshed and full of vim and vigor.

[HippyDruid]

The responses don't surprise me! There's a pretty good community spirit around here.

 

Quality is worth waiting for. Thanks for the update and Merry Christmas one and all.

Keep up the good work 

[Guest deleted@134347]

thank you guys for the awesome product, I truly love the series and look forward to playing it in January, Jason!

 

One question, and hopefully a little request (?) - will campaign be available in CUSTOM difficulty so I can experience it in many difficulty variations other than easy/hard? Please? pretty pretty please?   

 

I fly in VR and we're stuck in limbo when it comes to .. well.. you know all the vr drawbacks..

[Freycinet]

So the final aircraft's to be released will be held until full deployment of BOK?

 

I'm sure they're not finished yet but don't bash me for being hopeful for an IL2 Christmas miracle! 

 

Let's all just spend Christmas with our families, as we are supposed to! Human warmth, a well-set table, catching up on the years' events... - Gaming can wait :-)

[dburne]

No problem, completely understandable.

 

Thanks so much for the update! Those screenies of the new career looking very intriguing!!

[Bando]

Have a great holliday y'all.

Love the straight talk. No BS, it is what it is and we'll carry on on the other side of new year's eve.

 

Good luck and godspeed to the team.

[FTC_Riksen]

Thxs for the update IL2 Great Battles Team. Take the well deserved time off this holiday. You guys deserve it!

[Chief_Mouser]

Jolly good. Waiting with bated breath. Cheers.

[Bullets]

Hi Jason,

 

 

will the BoK be completely finished? And are all announced features included?

 

 

 

https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/25072-announcing-battle-kuban-and-development-plan/

 

bit cheeky deleting their development plans post?    

[Guest deleted@1562]

Would have loved to fly Il2 on my days off from work. Looks like I'll have to play some of the games I bought @ the black friday sales instead. No big deal.

[Rjel]

The slight delay is understandable. As most everyone agrees, better done right than rushed out. Enjoy the holiday season.

[Beazil]

I refer to Rjel's signature on this one.

 

Keep up the great work, enjoy your WELL deserved break, come back to us fresh and energized and you will find us all waiting here for you when you return.  Besides, we have this little thing called IL2 Battle of Moscow/Stalingrad/someofKuban to tide us over for the time being.  

Who knows?  Maybe we can even be distracted a wee bit by the upcomming release of CloD 4.5.  If not, again, these things take time to get right.  Thanks for the direct and honest update.  Go home, hug your moms, high five your buddies and enjoy some holiday cheer.

[Lensman]

I'd rather have it right than quick.

I work for a software development and support team and the curse of our lives is senior managers imposing quick not right!

Therefore this decision is welcome.

[US63_SpadLivesMatter]

Better delayed and polished, than rushed and buggy.

[216th_Jordan]

Perfectly fine, keep up the good work! One month delay on a 2 years plan, thats nothing!
