Yes there's going to be a patch...
...unfortunately it's a Cabbage Patch doll, made up to look like Robert Mitchum. The doll flies an extraordinarily powerful helicopter loosely based on a standard helo but with a paint job that says 'attitude', and an odd hawklike noise as it goes past. A short period in command of a B-17 Squadron, 8th USAAF, mysteriously deployed to Shangri-La follows.  The Cabbage Patch doll cracks up, and hides a B-17 so the CIA will find it's brother, Earnest St John Borgnine. Matrix then bring out the game 'WindWolf', starring that guy who nearly married Jello. (I think that was her name). An amusing camp fire scene lifted from 'Blazing Saddles' features heavily.
 
Think that covered all the rumours....oops, forgot the Sun....okay, approx 4.5 billion years from now there'll be a 'poof' noise, but due to lack of air you won;t hear it. It'll get very warm wherever you are, the Sun will seem to be a mite closer. Then it will get very cold. THEN 1.9 will have been out for some indeterminate period of time.
 
By the way, '12 O' Clock High' was part of the RAF aircrew NCO training syllabus in the late 70's, we too had to stop regularly to discuss it.

I taught LMET (2 week course) for 4 years at Rota. You probally like the final exam of "12 O'Clock High movie / with the popcorn!) I then went TAD to helped re-write the course in San Diego as the new NavLead training (5-day). I then spent my final 4 years teaching that course at Rota until I retired. What the training and students taught me help me in my future - I worked my way up to VP of Human resourses. Seems u should have listen a little more while in training and learned from your shipmates in class. There's a reason Nukes get paid more SRB than you or me. Did you do well on the "Ring Toss exercise? You remember it related to Goal Setting and being Achievement Motivated?????????????

I have hear rumors that there is soon a update for WITP (Christmass?). Has anybody (Matrix Games) some info about this?
(Release date, features, etc)

I hope self that the following is included in this new update.

1. All device slots above 555 work and can be used for both sides.

2. The solution of the Kamikaze problem. I mean that not all japanese airunits covert to kamikaze, or that on start of the scenario the player can choose by
Kamikaze covertions between NO, low, medium, high, all.

I know, there is now WitP AE version on table, but AE is a monster and I still prefer old WitP. Is this issue with Kamikaze doable? Is it possible for small fix for all-Kamikaze problem? Or maybe it was solved already?

There is no such thing as a historically accurate strategy game. Every game stops being accurate from the very first move player make. The first unit that moves ahistorically, first battle with non-historical results, means we ride into the unknown.
