Wychmaster Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 vor 7 Stunden schrieb thunder511: When is the Apache Longbow going to be released The "dummy" release date on steam is the 26th of January but you shouldn't consider it to be carved in stone. My estimation is that we will get another delay if we don't see any new mini-updates this week. Using the Hind EA release as reference, we are still missing at least 5 mini-updates: cold start, takeoff, gun, rockets, hellfires. There are probably more thar I forgot. However, I don't know if missing mini-updates are a show stopper. So this is just an assumption of mine and not based on facts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shouldn't be allowing [insert bug here] to affect Open Beta like this. Both are so illogical and silly, yet they will always happen. No matter what. I promise. Engineer here. Delivered development and production hardware for 40 years. Often had the discussion: Do we deliver "as is" or work out more bugs and ship later. If we shipped "as is" we shipped with an engineer (me or some other peon). Can't do that with s/w. As an aside, I worked on the development AH-64 that had the PNVS and the OTAS (Observers Target Acquisition System) at Camp A.P. Hill and Camp Hunter-Liggett. Production system had the TADS instead of OTAS. We had the fun job of gluing the mount to the helmets for tracking head movements for PNVS. Messed up one pilot's and he was pissed. Oooops. Great fun. Did get some front seat rides, though. Tried my hand at piloting. Nope. Nope. Not for me. Waiting for the release. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cann0nF0dd3r Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Usually we see more videos as a release gets closer but we haven't seen many lately. I'm not worried about it, it'll release when they're ready. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetguy06 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 IMHO, it's the same as last week; if there's no mention of a delay by or in the Friday newsletter, we're in the clear. I'm also not trying to put too much hope into this idea but... going back through my somewhat reliable memory, I don't think ED has ever delayed a module inside two weeks to EA release. The last delay was three to four weeks away from release, and most others, as I remember, we're delayed months before. I'm not saying it can't or won't happen, but historically I don't think it ever has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the hype was certainly built up a bit too early. The video schedule was looking good until a few weeks ago. Signs aren’t too good for a release in 9 days. They may have hit a blocker or something, but it’s best we get bad news sooner rather than later. The closer we get to the end of the month, the harder it’ll be to take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarhead0331 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 It's been awhile since any update to the open beta too, or any news. I thought I read something that said 1/14, but obviously nothing dropped. Maybe they are delaying that for the Apache EA release? If not, anybody have any news on the next OB update?

fragal Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Will probably find out Friday if it’s coming on the 26th or a few days later, ED always announce in newsletters so I doubt it’ll just drop without an announcement. So announcement this week or next week via the newsletter I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Sights Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I have paid for the Apache in advance, but I say, the more complete state it is in, the better. I’m willing to wait until it’s in the early access state ED outlined. So far ED has done a great job with their products, so I’m sure it’s better to wait. If it drops this month, I’ll be happy, but I can wait. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetguy06 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) While I'm still hopeful, it's starting to not look good from my point of view. Not only with the lack of videos yesterday and today, but BN was just in the forums earlier posting in the IZLID thread in the Wishlist section. Since we haven't heard from him saying the end-of-January release is still planned since before the last newsletter, I'm thinking he may have been told behind the scenes not to say anything about a January release anymore which may indicate another delay. Just saying, he was in the forums earlier, had the opportunity to pop in and put our minds at ease, and didn't. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.
