Okay, so newer member and all that jazz here I get it don't have much say or anything. However for whatever reason this statement been bothering me.
It feels as if you're saying oh we weren't getting enough of the Pre-Orders that we are wanting so we'll continue to push the date back and have it so only a select few get it; so that they can flaunt it in front of possible buyers to possibly sway them into buying it, for more revenue etc.
I personally think there's a smaller crowd who "enjoy" watching the F-15e content being pushed; than those who have paid seeing this aircraft in action and not getting any sort of actual transparency. Either it be an actual EA release date, the manual, something to make it feel as those that have pre-ordered got something out of it besides watching DCS content creators fly it.
I would love to be completely wrong on this; but like I said this is all based off my own train of thought on this statement.
