Delay is usual practice in video game industry. And at the moment it is 1-day delay.
I hardly think it is a one day delay.
I remember this time like toward the end of August that you guys had said the U.S. tanks would be coming by the end of September or early October. Which ended up that neither is the case.
At which point you added in your OP that the company wanted to desperately release everything in one patch. i.e. patch 0.6/0.7
This has not happened either. You went on to say that you may have to have an interim patch 0.5.5 Well this patch itself has missed it's mark at least twice now.
I personally don't care what is in each patch, but I do like people and certainly companies to have integrity and to take responsibility for their actions.
I have truly gotten to the point of disinterest in the game as it is taking far too long for you guys to implement any changes. I ask in all seriousness, if you have had the russians playing on a version that is two generations passed ours, what is it that we are testing. Also what gives me any incentive to test the product. I mean I am not testing anything that hasn't already been tested or fixed, as the russians have already done it 4 or 6 months ago.
Your standpoint is that well you guys have reported the bugs and we have them fixed in patch X, but instead of giving you that patch we are going to give you patch Y where the issue is still unresolved. Also there is no new changes to the game made in patch Y so just keep testing nothing, wait another two months while we iron out all of the details of patch X. In the meantime all known issues of patch X will have already been taken care of due to the fact that the russians are playing patch B.
I do want the game to be as good as it can be. I just feel it is a moot point to test something that we eventually have no impact on as we are months behind on the current version of the game.

Announcing that US tanks would come in late September / early October was a rough time frame. Kind of general working plan without the exact timeline, an optimistic one.
Russians are one update ahead of international version and currently are on 0.5.5.
What can be said for sure is that both versions will have been updated to 0.6.x / 0.7 by the end of November.

Only one firm date was given. No need to exaggerate my failures.

I am more talking about Overlord giving out dates. He has given pretty "firm" dates on 3 occasions for the release of 0.5.5; each one of those dates have been missed. Also, no reason has been given for the missed dates. If the reason is because of bugs in 0.5.5 that doesn't make since. Because you all released 0.5.5 to the Russians on a LIVE server. If there was even a HINT of bugs, shouldn't it have been released to the "beta" testers first to ummm "test"?
