I can never understand the big deal about a new version coming out. It's hardly going to make major changes to the gameplay or eye candy in any substantial way.
Like these big long threads about wanting some fighter/bomber/tank and they just end up as hangar queens after a few short weeks. I remember the long rants about wanting JU87's and once released it was the wrong model and low survivablilty, you saw them uo for a few weeks and that was it. Everyone went back to the low level buffs and dive bombing lanc's.
Every new version you get these long threads about how they can't wait and it's going to be this and that. And then when it's released nothing but whining and waiting for the next patch and so on.
It's like the game is still in Beta and people are still waiting for the final release or something to make it into the game they are/was really expecting.
Enjoy what's there now, if you can't and your always hanging out for the latest release then maybe it's time for a break.
