71st_AH_Vertigo Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 Whaaat...!?? Can't help it, it's getting close. I can just feel it.. LOL V
dburne Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 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...
Finkeren Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 Tomorrow or wednesday if the beta test has gone smoothly. Middle of next week if significant bugs have been found.
Finkeren Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 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... 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.
ShamrockOneFive Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 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.

Feathered_IV Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 But... its my birthday Is it ? What a coincidence ! Happy birthday to you too! Just think, if we were a year older we'd be flying the Zero now. 2
Bullets Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Happy birthday to you too! Just think, if we were a year older we'd be flying the Zero now. Any word what the plane set for Midway would be? All I am hoping for is a Zero, F4U and P51D
Livai Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 You know, we could fly the Spritfire one month and seven days if not the Mirrors.......
Finkeren Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Any word what the plane set for Midway would be? All I am hoping for is a Zero, F4U and P51D Well, you'll get 1 of those....
Bullets Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Well, you'll get 1 of those.... Just had a quick google of participating aircraft and only the Zero looks interesting Probably won't be purchasing Midway then I just hope the Zero is a premium (collector) aircraft Edited June 20, 2017 by Bullets
ShamrockOneFive Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Just had a quick google of participating aircraft and only the Zero looks interesting Probably won't be purchasing Midway then I just hope the Zero is a premium (collector) aircraft 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.

It's like a pretty Stuka 3
Livai Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 I'm not sure what they will do for Premium aircraft The Nakajima Kikka
=WH=PangolinWranglin Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Nakajima Kikka That thing won't even be a match for the Wildcat!
Gort Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 If they model Jimmy Thatch in the sim, then the Wildcat will annihilate the Zero. 1
150GCT_Veltro Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) This one! What a beauty! Edited June 20, 2017 by 150GCT_Veltro 2
Legioneod Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 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?
Ribbon Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 But... its my birthday Happy b-day!Is it ? What a coincidence !Happy b-day!
=362nd_FS=Hiromachi Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Happy birthday to you too! Just think, if we were a year older we'd be flying the Zero now. Happy birthday to you mate ! Oh, I keep thinking about this more often then you might think. Future travelling is what I need.
Finkeren Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 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. 1
216th_Jordan Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 I love how this thread has gone from Spitfire to Pacific in just a few posts and then stayed there 1
Phantom-103 Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Spitfire??? What Spitfire??? I'm Sorry....I Can't help myself 1
9./JG27DefaultFace Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 How about we pick something right in the middle and talk about seafires...!
Trooper117 Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 I love how this thread has gone from Spitfire to Pacific in just a few posts and then stayed there They can't help themselves... you have to forgive them. 1
71st_AH_Vertigo Posted June 20, 2017 Author Posted June 20, 2017 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.. :)" V 1
III/JG53Frankyboy Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 This one! What a beauty! if it would be a real one, yes............................
BMA_FlyingShark Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 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.

Dont get it. Dial up?
Gambit21 Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 I don't get, why people fret so much over the F4F vs. A6M match-up. . 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.
A-E-Hartmann Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 I love how this thread has gone from Spitfire to Pacific in just a few posts and then stayed there [/quotep] Yes I have the same thinking.
BMA_FlyingShark Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Dont get it. Dial up? Usually everything's offline the whole day before a patch comes.
Lusekofte Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 This one! What a beauty! Together with the Devastator this is the plane I look forward to, I always liked those 1
