ResonantCard1 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Hi, I recently read that BS3 has been put on hold after being delayed earlier this year. When can we expect it to be released? I also read the Apache was coming in 2021 (by Kate on the Discord), if that's the case, is the BS3 even going to happen? 1 Main: MiG-21bis, because pocket rockets are fun Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fudabidu Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Apache and Hind come first. That's where the hype and money is. Unless it's a very obvious issue (like Vikhr elevation recently) ED doesn't even bother responding to issues, no matter how long we've known about them. Even releasing a list of planned improvements is asking too much. That's how little ED cares about their oldest module and customers. 24 and 64 will probably bring in a lot new players they can let hanging in a few years, so why bother.

It did just get a nice cockpit makeover, for free. That's not nothing. I just bought it (on sale!) and I think it's great. And if BS3 comes out and I get a discount on the upgrade, I'll be delighted. 1 Some of the planes, but all of the maps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Apache is still quite far away, unlike BS3 or the Hind. Well all we know is that the Hind is happening this year, and that work on BS3 will continue this year. We don't know exactly when BS3 is going to release just like we don't know exactly when the Apache is going to release. If it's going to release with relatively few complex systems then it's entirely possible that the BS3 and Apache releases are close together enough so that people will see themselves forced to choose between one or the other.

Padonis Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Well, we probably won't fly BS3 “Note: Due to the new Russian Federation's information gathering regulations on Russian military equipment, we had to reconsider our plans to add new systems to the Ka-50.

An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

If you asked me 2 months ago what I would prefer between the announcement of the apache and BS3... well, AH.64. Even if in mid 2022. I had fun with BS since 2008 except before the cockpit upgrades, cause it was not usable due to the bad light handling. So I'll be happy to wait, maybe having fun with Mi-24 and Kiowa in the meantime, and using a playable Ka-50 while preparing for the Apache. Also... it seems they do not had a choice about BS3. We can't blame them.
