XCNuse Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Referring to the Reach for the Skies video: It has been over 13 months now that this video was shown off.... for some apparent reason. Any news on this AI module ever coming to public? Seems weird it was shown off so long ago and still not appearing in-game. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very good of them. They are also working on the F-4 and the Eurofighter. I think the progression for the modules are EuroFighter, F-4, A-6 (AI), then the A-6 Full Fidelity. They also are working on several things on the F-14. They are chewing a lot. I hope they can pull it off. They also might not have anything to report. I know that the F-4 is kind of SkunkWorks for them so they have been quiet about it. Forgot to mention, Heatblur has been dealing with the affects of the War in Ukraine, so that may be why there's nothing to report.

Bigger fish to fry at the moment I think we all get timelines change due to unforeseen circumstances but HB had indicated that the F-14 would be out of access in March 2021 which included the AI A-6 and the two campaigns. We are now a over a year later. I can't speak for others, but I don't think it is unreasonable to ask for a simple update from HB on where it sits. Something like: "we plan to release it the next patch, we plan to release it Q2 2022 or we are working on it but don't think it will be released in 2022". Not sure if it is deliberate but HB haven't answered any questions on the state of the AI A-6 for a number of months. The lack of information/updates becomes worrisome particularly when HB has also said they have recently hired/onboarded a larger team and we should be shortly start seeing the fruits of the larger team (paraphrase). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger fish to fry at the moment Forgive me if I'm wrong but I was under the assumption that the Phantom would come before the Eurofighter. My reasoning being that Heatblur states in the F-4 FAQ that it will be coming in late 2022 (which I 've got to admit seems a bit optimistic) while there is no statement about the release date of the Eurofighter, rather a mention that the Tomcat and Viggen take precedent before it. Also the Eurofighter is a collaboration with a different team and I would assume that creates it's own challenges and delays. Meanwhile the F-4 should be close in some aspects to the F-14 which should theoretically mean they could speed things up. Now about the A-6 AI it's very difficult to say. AI aircraft development seems a lot more time consuming than I would have thought. Let's not forget the delay of the J-35 Draken or even the C-47, Ju-88 and S3 which still hasn't released. It seems that AI require substantial work to implement while not not bringing much revenue and therefore are not prioritized. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that it is a collaboration, they might not be doing a whole lot of the production and are letting the other company produce it. I haven't paid too much attention to the EF.

IronMike Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) My apologies, everyone, I simply kept forgetting to reply to the thread. We are indeed still working on the A6 AI, while it takes a lower priority to other major tasks in front of us currently. This is why at this moment I cannot give you a more or less precise guesstimate on when it will come. Getting it right, in terms of modelling, will of course play towards the A-6 module in general, which is why we want to make sure that it is as good as can be. Hence the longer wait in combination with it being of slightly lower priority as an AI aircraft. We will keep you posted and I hope we have an update for you soon. Our commitment to it did not change ofc.

Gambit21 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 If the F-4 wasn't coming this year, I'd probably have to put myself into some sort of induced coma so that I could withstand the wait for even the AI A-6...let alone flyable. As it is...I can do it. Still...it's going to be something to behold I think...even the AI. I can't wait to watch them launch from the Forrestal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainstay Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Man the waiting on this baby…. The A-6 Intruder full module is like the Me-410 Hornisse. Different era, both ugly and weird but that what’s makes them so sexy and attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stackup Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I do hope the A-6E gets the refueling pod (even if only for the AI version and not the flyable one) as an alternative to the S-3. ED seems to be spending a long time redoing the modeling for the S-3 and we haven't seen it with the refueling pod yet so maybe it's being turned into a normal store that can then be used by other aircraft like the A-6E. 2 Aircraft: F-14A/B, F/A-18C, F-16C, F-5E, FC3, AV-8B, Mirage 2000C, L-39, Huey, F-86, P-51, P-47, Spitfire, Mosquito, Supercarrier Maps: Persian Gulf, Syria, NTTR, Marianas, Normandy 2, Channel Upcoming Modules Wishlist: A-7E, A-6E, F-4, F-8J, MiG-17F, A-1H, F-100D, Kola Peninsula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
