bodenplatte available yet??

[omenplehmann]

ok this may be the most ignorant question to date, but am I missing something ....? Is bodenplatte available yet  or still in development.

thanks for any link to the roadmap.. or  a yes/no  would be helpful

Not all content is done, so its still in development. However more than half of the planes are available to you to use should you pre purchase Bodenplatte. What remains is the Western Europe map, the ME262, the Tempest MkV, P51D-15, and P38-L.

For the map maybe in Summer most probably end Summer. For the BOBP Full Release if the past is any lesson then say March 2020.

As long as we get goodies along the path I have no problem waiting.

March 2020 :o 

I was expecting something like august 2019

March 2020 probably be when everything is released, usually SP campaign is the last to be released.

BoK took 1.5 years (09.2016 - 03.2018). Looking at previous examples BoBp should be released around September-December time.

Jason said around fall 2019 for final BoBP release and hasn’t said that it has changed yet, so expect it by then.

Yes but I have been in software development in another life, and if there is one typical activity where when you have estimated through a rational calculation how much it will take, then double it and you may fall right. So yes it has been planned for say Christmas  2019 but we had this already in the past, at the last moment, you get a sorry message and things are delayed another quarter.

So I stick to my estimate March 2020. And to be honest I prefer March 2020 for a top quality release then December for a botched one. If there is a lesson to have from the past history of IL2, we had once the catastrophic release of IL2 COD where a completely botched and unplayable game rigged with bugs was put on the market. This must never happen again.

You are right that delays in games dev seem to have become the norm, I've been impressed with this dev team though. March 2020 would be in my estimation around a 6 month delay, and compared with many other games studios, that really would be quite exceptionally good. I would be happy with that

Where do people get off pulling random guesstimates out of their .....o the air. Why March next year?? 10 months for what?
