Strikeeagle345 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 They did that with the AV-8B, that was my logic at least. I think the F-18 came out on May 31, and if I’m calculating right that would have been a Thursday, so still not a patch day. Either way, my guess is just that, I have no idea lol the Hornet released May 30th during the Wednesday open beta patch.

Strikeeagle345 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 IIRC the Yak-52 came with a friday hotfix though few and far between. A large big deal module like this, will be a Wednesday. Even the Mig-19 was supposed to release today, on a Wednesday.

SandMan23 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 With this being such a big deal module and given the work still needed to be done, coming into Feb and still haven't even seen the RIO put (other than a snapshot of artwork). So my guess is that is will break ED OB protocol HB will take / need all of the time, and release will be 3/20 (which is also a Wednesday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iRocco Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 they said manual before release and I think startup video before too and we haven't heared from them in a while, I guess we'll get an announcement very soon, my gut feeling says this week but since they had to postpone the Mig19, I think they'll release the Mig first and announce the F14 release date afterwards. I'd say Febraury 14th, spread the love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatuwhisky 1-1 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 my money is on march 20th, and thats totally fine with me. I'm still enjoying learning the hornet on BF.

Jazz_44 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 There is no way the Tomcat will be released before March 20th. February is a shorter month and they still have a lot to do. So yeah, March 20th 2019 is the release date in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, March 20th 2019 is the release date in my book. On January 20th, they said this... More than anything, we’re looking forward to stopping your suffering and finally releasing. This will give us a chance to breathe (and live!) a little while we set out on our EA to Release roadmap. In summary; we’re at the height of our release push now and we’re working literally night and day. Release candidate 1 is just around the corner. We know it’s been a long wait- so thanks for sticking with us. To me, the "height of our release push" and "Release Candidate 1 is just around the corner" shouldn't mean a March 20th release date. Controlling expectations is well and good, but at this point, we're looking at, analyzing and taking apart every little bit of information we get. If this doesn't come in the first half of February I'll be miffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F14luvr Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I think people saying March 20th is a way to curb the disappointment if it doesn't get released sooner than that. In other words, set a modest expectation . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this doesn't come in the first half of February I'll be miffed. Cobra previously said he'd give people "plenty of warning" so they would have a chance to both wait until the EA date is known, and pre-purchase. To my mind, "plenty of warning" would mean a month or so, which takes us to March... Still, I hope you're right and I'll be one dude who will be happy to have been barking up the wrong tree!

spiddx Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Well 'plenty' is a pretty vague term again. What is plenty? You say a month, others might think a week is plenty time to pre-purchase. Who knows... ;) More telling was them saying "we are using the time we still have..." which makes me think they'll keep finetuning til their time window closes.

Jarhead0331 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 My hunch is that we are not going to see the manual or a lot more video content before there is a release of the first candidate. I think they simply will not have the time and rather than piss everyone off and make the community more anxious than it already is, I don't think they will hold the release up any longer than they absolutely have to.

SonofEil Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) I think people saying March 20th is a way to curb the disappointment if it doesn't get released sooner than that. In other words, set a modest expectation . I mean, that's certainly a small part of it, but mostly it's because I actually expect a March 20th release. And they'll only release it then because they're more or less required to (they're not though). I bet come the second week of March if they had the option to push it another 30-60 days they'd jump on it. I don't say this to be negative, I just think they're perfectionists, possibly to a fault. I have no doubt that we could've had a "pretty good" F-14 (say, RAZBAM level) two years ago, but from the looks of things we're going to be getting an extremely ambitious study sim instead. They just need to feel comfortable letting their baby leave the nest. Edited February 1, 2019 by SonofEil i7 7700K @5.0, 1080Ti, 32GB DDR4, HMD Odyssey, TM WH, Crosswind Rudder...

six.dof Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I am well trained in passion after the F-18 story;-) Anyway, the F-14 is probably more functional on release, and I looking forward, ED makes the waiting short with adding functions to the F-18 step by step, makes me busy.....

Who knows... ;) More telling was them saying "we are using the time we still have..." which makes me think they'll keep finetuning til their time window closes. "Plenty" is indeed a vague term. FTR I went back and found the post, his phrasing was "ample time", although I don't think that changes the meaning, since that's a pretty vague term too. Given he's talking about the opportunity to buy, I couldn't see it would be less than a month given a lot of people still get paid monthly, but like I said, I hope I'm wrong because I'd rather see it sooner :) Edited February 1, 2019 by Horns Standardize language choice Modules: [A-10C] [AJS 37] [AV8B N/A] [F-5E] [F-14] [F/A-18C] [FC3] [Ka-50] [M-2000C] [Mig-21 bis] [NTTR] [PG] [SC] Intel i7-12700F, Nvidia GTX 3080, MSI MPG Z690 Carbon WiFi, 32GB DDR4 @ 1600 MHz, SteelSeries Apex Pro, Razer Basilisk 3 VKB Gunfighter 3 w/ F-14 grip, Thrustmaster Warthog throttle, Thrustmaster MFD Cougars x2, MFG Crosswind, DSD Flight Series button controller, XK-24, Oculus Rift (HM-A) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirrah Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 This is not a thread hijack, but just a small question inbetween I didn't want to start a new topic for; I've seen a few videos (all I could find at least) of the EA by ralfidude and jabbers, but I haven't seen any a/g footage yet.
