Can we hope to have this beast for the enf of this month?

Just a question because our Staffel are urgently asking for it.

Posted

well, they haven't said anything else yet. last info we have is from a couple of devblogs ago where they said the last BoM planes will be released by February

Posted

I believe they have just gotten the cockpit together and the aircraft should be in beta testing right now or very soon.  It will be out before then end of February, the devs have always been really good about sticking to their time frame.

If they say that the beta testing has/will start on this weeks dev diary then I think we might see a release next week. This is ofc only my speculations

Thursday February 25th.

I wouldn't expect Ju-88 before beginning of March, maybe earlier if we're lucky. It's not in beta yet, but close. Final BOM release in April.

April I will be busy playing dark souls 3 :P

 

Make it earlier :)

Dangit. Thanks for the answer Jason :)

Which brings me to the other half of my earlier statement... The devs are great at communicating these things to us, as we have all just experienced.

:/  ...tooo long

 

An extra couple of weeks is too long? Or are you talking about the April release date for BoM? I'm imagining we'll be nearly content complete before April.

 

Also... Didn't I say March for the Ju88? Didn't I? :biggrin:

wait...of people i hate or people that hate you?

 

back to topic... i guess when the Ju is not released till march there is still time to add WB 81 "Gießkanne" and a Stuvi :)

 

i feel like a Ju-88 with nothing but some bombs is a real waste of potential and plain boring

Just out of curiosity. Why the widespread interest in the WB 81 machinegun pods? Are people actually using these on the Ju-87? And for what? tickling T-34's? I can understand that people are disappointed that there is not going to be a MG FF mod, but not for the WB 81.

 

To be clear. I'm not trying to be rude or offensive. Just curious.

well...the Ju-88 is the most versatile plane of the Luftwaffe...it has to get something and the WB81 are already in game. (you can use them too clear AAA for the rest of your bombers or kill soft targets. there are many missions that have columns of soft targets

(but at this point the only thing i hope is the Ju-88 will get the 211 J engines, as it should, but seeing the 110 i fear we will get the 211F engines :/ )

A big reason why its not used on the 87 is because its sooooo slow. It would work much better on the 88 and it would be a fun little thing.

 

Its very effective at clearing AA and strafing airfield targets, trucks, cars, trains :)

As you can see from this recent shot of 1CGS's offices, the Ju 88 is getting there but isn't quite ready yet:

Yeah, but either the staffing has increased or they put the map makers to work on the AC models!!

  • 3 weeks later...

Hi Guys,

 

I have a lot free time this week during the evenings. Hope to take the Ju-88 for a testdrive. Anyone want to speculate?...  :cool:

they said in the last dev diary that it's supposed to enter beta this week. if it happens early this week and there are no problems maybe it's released next week. if not the week after that i'd assume

Thanks for the heads up, much appreciated.

Couple of weeks is nothing. Take your time to do it properly.

"Nicht den Kopf in den Sand stecken" - It's better to wait longer than having teething problems with the flightmodel and aircraft systems.
