Which module do you think will release next?

[Gunny Highway]

Title says it all. In the last year, the following modules were released:

 

F5 July

Spitfire December?

Viggen January

 

It's about time for a new plane. Which do y'all think will come first?

[Gunny Highway]

I went Harrier. Seems to be the most complete out of the 3.

[probad]

put me in for f-14b february 2018

[MikeMikeJuliet]

RAZBAM has stated that the Harrier should arrive in Q3... so unless the Hornet is out of the door in two weeks™ after the E3, the Harrier will be no.1 on this race.

I agree with you, but 2.5 and the Hornet were supposedly coming out before end of 2016. Harrier does seem on track though for a July/August/September release though.

VEAO Tomahawk should be close also

[Revelation]

I picked the Harrier, though after next week when we get to see the first in-game videos of the Hornet my opinion may change.

The new damage model has to come out, for non-WW2 aircraft, first.

[Buzzles]

Difficult poll!

 

Can't pick between the Harrier or F/A-18 as both are looking like they'll drop close to another.

 

I think if the F-14 makes it out in 2017, it'll be 31st Decemeber :)

[Kayos]

Hopefully all 3 this year.

[VampireNZ]

F-14....or is that just my wishful thinking. :music_whistling:

 

Not fussed about the other two aircraft types. They both look like great projects, but neither aircraft has ever appealed to me in the least.

No doubt F14 is on my day one list. Hopefully multi crew will be available on release. I think it will be a blast to play with buddies online.

Are we talking Early Access?

 

Im nearly 100% it will be the Tomcat. At least the B version, probably without the carrier, but with a functional Jester and Multicrew.

 

I think this is a safe bet, since Heatblur is the only developer that outright stated, barring serious disease or injury, the module will be released this year.

Pretty sure razbam said 3Q.

 

Probably shouldn't vote until we see what gets revealed at E3.

SHOULD being the operative word here. :megalol:

Tomahawk? I think you meant the Kittyhawk (Curtiss P-40F)?

VEAO pushed that one further back, behind the stable release of DCS World 2.5 (the merge), so no, it probably won't be next.

Forget about the Kittyhawk. VEAO doesn't exactly have a stellar track record of keeping to release schedules.

 

Im actually surprised that more people didnt choose the F14, since we know it's been in development for far longer than the Harrier, and one of the devs confirmed that it's coming this year.

OUCH!!! Thank You,I hadn't seen that:thumbup:

[f-18hornet]

I think the F/A-18 will be sooner than the AV-8 but if we get one of them within next few weeks/months I do not care about it which one. I want them all anyway.:D

Heatblur has stated they will push the module out this year... I interpret this as a Q4 release is all goes according to plan, where as RAZBAM has specifically stated Q3, which to me is an indication of a product that is farther in development and closer to release than the F-14.

 

I can't really say anything about the F/A-18 until we get more information... could be it comes out in two months... then again could be it will be a Christmas gift. We will have to see about that when E3 has passed.

 

Don't take me wrong, all three are on my list for purchase, so I don't really mind the order.

If you haven't been to RAZBAM's sub form I highly recommend it to see whats going on with the Harrier, they keep it very updated with plenty of pictures and videos

[Gunny Highway]

Need Mr. Wagner to go ahead and vote on this thing to put it to bed...

[some1]

Depends what is your definition of "released". My educated guess based on previous experiences:

 

- The Harrier will be available first, but it will be very rough around the edges. Like the M-2000 was, more an alpha test initially.

- Hornet will slip to Q4 for reasons we will never be told, and will be released in a last sprint just before Christmas. But it will be in pretty decent shape, for an early access of course.

- Tomcat will be delayed to 2018.

Heatblur has notoriously missed various dates and estimates for things they had announced. Not just modules but also development updates and other things like that. I can't even count how often they delayed these things. The F-14 alone has been given various release estimates during their multiple years of development. So I (and aparently other people as well) don't trust their release estimates very much.

 

Having said that, I want to make clear that this is not meant to criticize Heatblur. I'm sure they give those dates and estimates to the best of their ability and it provides some points to orient on. You just have to know that these dates are not set in stone. No problem, stuff takes time and we all (should) know that. Especially if you want to have products that are somewhat finished on release. That is why I voted for RAZBAM, because they make their products available in a very unfinished state (at least they did so with the Mirage), so that delays are not that much likely (polishing costs time!). But even they failed to reach their first given release estimate for the Harrier, because back in January they said they plan to release the Harrier within Q1. Again, this is no problem (at least not for me), it's just the way software development is. I just want to point out that you all shouldn't give too much on those estimates ;)

Harrier.
