Jason_Williams 21906 Posted May 19 Attention Pilots! Update 4.006 will probably be released on Tuesday May 19th (tomorrow) if all goes well. If not, we'll try again on Wednesday. So back up anything you want backed up before you attempt the update. This will be a big one, maybe backup your entire IL-2 install folder just in case. Update servers will likely be jammed for a while so please have a bit of patience with us. This update is JAM PACKED with good stuff. We think you'll like it a lot. Also, I will leave the Yak-9 and Yak-9T Pre-Order discount live for a few more days, but hurry it will end soon! These Yaks are worth every penny. A lot of fun! Buy Here! Some great skins for the Yak-9 are included. Finally a Soviet fighter with good performance and a 37mm punch! Sizzler! Jason 29 26 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So_ein_Feuerball 62 Posted May 19 Damn Jason, you guys can´t just release a DD and then just put out an update days later, that´s not how teasing works! 😋 What about the suspense? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redwo1f 201 Posted May 19 34 minutes ago, Numenor225 said: I’m interested too! It was mentioned by one of the developers a while back that they would have to fudge the testing date with the operational date to get it into Kuban -- but I have no idea what they are going to do with the 9-T however. There is always PWCG though, where you will be able to be a Russian pilot from Moscow to the end of the war (so the Yak 9 certainly has a place in there post Kuban). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blitze 365 Posted May 19 17 minutes ago, Livai said: I Have a Bad Feeling About This Think of it as a disclaimer. Mostly not needed but it covers their backside if there are issues. I think this will prove to be another milestone update like the last couple have been for Il2. Also apologies if I came over as toxic in previous thread - just like people to try at least career without aids to get a great immersive experience that this sim can deliver. It delivers many WOW moments - especially if one stuffs up a control press and accidentally jettisons their canopy in the middle of a dog fight and is treated to a WW2 engine symphony as a result. 🥳 @Jason_Williams - Sizzler - you know the Russians can put on great grills/BBQ's. Nothing better, take it easy on the Baltica though 😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SIERRA-TWO-NINE 0 Posted May 19 ohhhhhkaaaay, you've twisted my rubber arm I'll buy the 9T to fill in my in heavy cannon needs! at least till the twin 40mm on the Hurricane arrive it will be interesting to compare to the P39 with the 37mm? maybe a little easier to fly aggressively? blowing big holes in German planes may be even more fun haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
41Sqn_Madov 87 Posted May 19 Great to see the Yak-9 finally making its belated appearance, they were there in the skies over Stalingrad 42/43 so its certainly about time. Much appreciated and will be flown a great deal I am sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mika_87 31 Posted May 19 (edited) Thanks for the update. This is THE thing that I like most in this gameseries. Updates. I like how we get updates also those older sims, bos and bom and we are not forced to buy latest games to get new stuff. Great desicion to make one big game but still let us choose which one we like to have. Edited May 19 by Mika_87 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
