Is Early Access planned?

[YoYo]

Ok, release version will be in 2025, but the EA is planned too or not? For this year for example:

 

• map + 2 planes at beginning etc.

Map is usually the last thing to be completed, so maybe a sample one like Lapino?

Ahh, right, firstly for BoS we recived Lapino with winter textures only. No problem to have a part of map here too during EA I suppose.

i expect no EA, they started to sell stuff only when its ready with GB collector airplanes, so i expect same here, im just suprised that they ddnt finish it all in 2 years time, i was expecting IL-2 Korea this year to be done, they kept saying they got 150% larger and are using upgraded GB game engine, and we gona get 8 insted 10 airplanes, map is not as big as expected , only 400x400, so 2 years looked like ok timeline, from anouncment it seams 1-2 years more to get new game

Doing both a major game engine redesign and adding the content for a new module is a lot of work.

expecting to see in future DDs what had to be changed, for now graphicly is still almost same, also only 6 B-29s in one are were shown, no big formations and so on...

 

im also interested to see if MP will stay same 84 slots less or more, MB wil it also stay same or be more user frendly, will we have co-op SP campaign and so on... we went from 10 airplanes for DLC to 8, so trends are more work for less stuff

 

also 400x400 map size is not so bigger then BoP map that is what 400x320km, or Fins player made map for GB of 410x410, so they gona need to show in DD what changed so mutch that separation was needed

No decision has been made yet about early access.

False, all but one of the modules have 8 planes. The newest has 9.

 

You probably assume that the 8 announced planes include the premium planes, but I see no evidence for that.
