LOL,  maybe a tiny little better chance for tomorrow.

My guess is not this week though - after all we have not even been shown the cockpit yet...

Tomorrow or wednesday if the beta test has gone smoothly. Middle of next week if significant bugs have been found.

Except for the IL2 1943 version, which showcased the new type of sight, it's been a long time since we were actually shown in-cockpit shots of a new aircraft before release.

 

I think they did it for only a couple of the BoM planes and so far only for the He 111 H16 and the IL2 in BoK.

Black Six said they started beta testing Blazing Steppes only a couple of days ago and that probably means the rest of the patch too. Beta testing a patch for this team is about 1.5/2 weeks on average (sometimes a bit longer). So I'd expect it to be in 2 weeks or just a little less.

Happy birthday to you too!  Just think, if we were a year older we'd be flying the Zero now.  :happy:

Any word what the plane set for Midway would be? All I am hoping for is a Zero, F4U and P51D  :biggrin:

You know, we could fly the Spritfire one month and seven days if not the Mirrors....... :P

:( Just had a quick google of participating aircraft and only the Zero looks interesting  :dry: Probably won't be purchasing Midway then :mellow:  I just hope the Zero is a premium (collector) aircraft  :biggrin:

You'd be missing out. The Zero of course is legendary but so is the Wildcat - fought the Zero to a 1:1 kill ratio against what was supposedly the superior fighter. Then you have aircraft like the B5N Kate, D3A Val up against the SBD Dauntless (which ended up being a carrier killer) and while the TBD Devastator was terrible in the end it was actually a good airplane that was out of date and up against poor tactics. I'm excited by all of these! The F4U came many months later than this battle and a year and a half later for carrier ops.

 

I'm not sure what they will do for Premium aircraft but the A6M will very much likely be part of the regular pack. It's too important to hide away as a Collector.

SBD will be my favorite for Midway. It's like a pretty Stuka  :biggrin:  :biggrin:

That thing won't even be a match for the Wildcat!

If they model Jimmy Thatch in the sim, then the Wildcat will annihilate the Zero. ;)

I wonder how many people will actually use the thatch weave?

Happy birthday to you mate ! Oh, I keep thinking about this more often then you might think. Future travelling is what I need.

I don't get, why people fret so much over the F4F vs. A6M match-up.

 

This sim started out with months of only Bf 109F4 (without engine limits) vs. LaGG-3.

OMG..

 

I can NOT wait to fly the Corsair & Hellcat again...!!

 

(Not to mention the "Wildcat".. a tubby little plane that even the most ardent of aviators would have to admit.. "She's even a little fun to fly.. :)"

I for one hope the patch does NOT come tomorrow.

Not that I'm not looking forward to the spit and stuff but... it's my only day off this week so, I'd rather enjoy what we have now for now instead of waiting the whole day for the update.

Because it's F@%* awesome that's why.

No other dynamic quite like it - because of the individual aircraft as much as how they relate to each other.

Usually everything's offline the whole day before a patch comes.

Together with the Devastator this is the plane I look forward to, I always liked those
