If I had to guess at new theatre announcement, I would say that we will see that when they have polished up Bodenplatte a bit more. Its clear that there are some bugs to be worked on with some of the features and the career mode appears unfinished to an extent. I suspect they pushed it out to try and meet a deadline and are now taking the time to get it to a better condition before they drop the early access discount and really start to move on to other things. I'm gonna say early December we see an announcement on planes and new theatre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SOLIDKREATE 1918 Posted November 22 (edited) I don't think a new theater announcement will be announced until late Q1. They are still working on the new collector planes and the Holidays are here now. 2 hours ago, kestrel79 said: I like it.

Jade_Monkey 2800 Posted November 23 I thought that the site maintenance would have resulted in the new collectors planes being available for preorder. I guess not yet. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Together with some phrase like "Development started quite some time ago and these planes will not be in pre-order for so long as we plan to release them by the end of next month." or so. Have a nice day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm gonna say early December we see an announcement on planes and new theatre. I would say it is going to be even much later than that - probably into the new year now. Since they have already indicated that they weren't willing to spill the beans early, they are going to sit on it - and there are reasons for this (it is a matter of figuring out what could be holding them off) - obviously they have a set date where sales have to reach X by a certain date (in all likelihood at least 2 months past release (probably more) to decided if FC is profitable enough to continue onward with it...and TC isn't even complete yet (correct? - sorry, I don't follow that one much), so it is way early to establish a future for that one...plus as you say, there is polishing, adjusting, and continued promotion of Bodenplatte. Though I would really love to know now what direction the series are going, it's probably going to be a while still folks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No.322_LuseKofte 1934 Posted November 23 I wonder why they wait? Surely they know if it is possible to go PTO by now. Maybe they are afraid of angry customers proclaiming something else before Christmas. I think most of us has lowered that expectation, They know by now what they gonna do next Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think most of us has lowered that expectation, They know by now what they gonna do next ...very likely because they want to be able to talk about the direction as a whole for the entire series - and at this point in time, there is not certainty with this (eg. FC, TC) - that is my best guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think most of us has lowered that expectation, They know by now what they gonna do next The buck ultimately stops with the publisher, 1C, so any big decisions like that are very likely run through the publisher first with the potential for negotiations and various business deals (i.e. bringing in Yugra Media and Digital Forms) before announcements can be made. The public announcement is like the tip of the iceberg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't have to finish all their previous work before they make an announcement.It's just a plan for future,they don't have to work on it as soon as they announce it.

Nope, I don't think you are understanding - I don't think they know if they will commit to a Flying Circus 2 and a Tank Crew 2 at this point in time (too early regarding sales, etc to determine if profitable or not). I think they would like to be certain of each of these products future before they announce where they are going with IL2- BoX - one big announcement and summation of all (anyways, that is what I am thinking). -- plus a continuation or ending of these series could also effect BoX in some way, shape, or form as well... ...we are all just going to have to wait and see, and I am suggesting to hunker down, because it could be some time yet... (more likely to hear more of the new add-on aircraft (Hurricane, Yak-9(s)) and pre-orders of them soon vs. anything else).

All current tiles, BoBP, FC and TC are far from being polished. They need to finish that in an acceptable way, (they know that), before going the next step or they will loose a lot of customer faith. I expect them to announce something in Q1/2020 earliest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spartan85 335 Posted November 26 I say it will be a break through in new tech they’ve been working on or accidentally come across... new weather... new damage effect... new fuel system.. something crazy like new radio commands that wingmen will follow Or it’s going to be a system that we will actually need to learn Morse code in able to succeed in our missions... no more ‘I’m wounded!’ Will now be a series of beeps... anywho, I’m on night shift, anticipation is killing me...

=VARP=Tvrdi 350 Posted November 26 (edited) No way it will be PTO unless they change game engine. Many have stutters online and with current game engine and netcode PTO is out of the question. Edited November 26 by =VARP=Tvrdi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

III./ZG1_Angus 31 Posted November 26 yes ........ for 2020 no announcements only optimize and a great netcode for over 100 pilots and 2021 the next announcement that's how the plan must be, because if all the online players are gone ...... the single player will get nothing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
