oscar19681 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 From the way i understood it the Apache module should be accessible in early acces somewhere around June? Also when can we pre-order early acces ? I thought pre orders would start end of February/beginning of March? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repth Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) ED hasn't given us anything concrete yet. I think the 2.7 update has pushed back a few of the new modules this year. My guess would be end of the year if not early-mid 2022, but i'm usually fairly conservative in my guesses to avoid disappointing myself Edited March 9, 2021 by Repth 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did state in this thread it should be 3rd quarter, and based off the fact the pre-order was pushed back a little bit you can expect the EA to be pushed back a little bit as well. Maybe the back end of Q3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Raptor9 Posted March 10, 2021 ED Team Share Posted March 10, 2021 Personally I'm wondering when we'll get more information on the DCS Mi-24P development, since I'm also looking forward to getting my hands on that beast. Between the Mi-24, the AH-64, and the Polychop Kiowa, we have a lot to look forward to in the rotary-winged department. 11 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.

VpR81 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I will purchase the AH-64D regardless if there is a discount or not.

PoorOldSpike Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Incidentally how big is the ED development team? If they want more manpower I'm sure they could sign up volunteer (non-paid) forum members to help them with playtesting etc to speed up the DLC's release, for example I'm on the Panzer Corps 2 playtest team- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank50us Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hey @BIGNEWYhave you guys thought about using the theme music from the 'Strike' games when the Apache/Longbow gets its trailer? I think it would be quite appropriate given how the Apache featured quite heavily in 3 of the 5 titles (Desert, Soviet, and Nuclear Strike).

huchanronaa Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 In my personal opinion, the scheduled time for the launch of the DCS Mi-24P is no problem. As for the ah-64d, it is not optimistic. It can be seen from the slow development speed of the f-16c. ah-64d also has a complex air-to-ground radar{sa} system, and when it can be completed is full of variables.
