Release Date?

Be glad if they actually make it this year, I suspect late Q4 is the earliest we may expect. Razbam CEO commented that they are only going to release it if it's virtually bug free and they are still hard at work to make basic functions available such as TWS or computed bombing modes. 

 

Based on this, 2023 is very optimistic and their release date estimates have been proven horrifically wrong before, so temper your expectations.

 

Nah, this is what they said in the release:

"The  pre-order [is] currently planned for the 15th of February, 2023. Once the pre-order begins, we anticipate the F-15E to be released into Early Access a few months later and perhaps sooner."

I get that it could still slip, study-level mil aircraft have to be mind-bogglingly complex, and are probably never truly "done", but if you pay close attention, I think you'll find that RAZBAM has been telegraphing the release date all along. Check this out ...

F15E CFTs can hold 10,400 kg of fuel in total.

Get rid of the trailing zeros, flip the numbers before and after the comma, and that makes 4,10, or 4/10 ... April 10th.

But wait, there's more.

Each PW F100 engine puts out 23,770 lbf in full afterburner.  Take the numbers before the comma, and what do we have now?

That's right, 4/10/23!

BOOYAH!

We're almost there, oh ye of little faith!

The whole topic. Few months later, it means few, not dozen !

If only that were possible. You could say that it would be 10/04/2023 though if you just remove the trailing zero's~.

There's still 5 hours and 51 minutes left in April 10th in my timezone.  It could still happen!

Though I'd love to see it in the next update too，But April is already impossible.

How can you tell it's big?

[McCloud]

No its not here yet. It will be released when its ready and not before.

No Today F-15E and Sinai. Developer of Sinai map said that map isnt ready for EA yet and they need more time still. About F-15E the date of finish pre order will be given before the end of pre order. Expect maybe in May (optimistic version).

Todays patch will be adressed mostly for MT version and will patch this version of DCS.

Btw. Before the F-15E goes out, most likely some Youtubers will also get it for testing, as is customary. Then we'll know that too, that the model is close. Occasionally these tests show more bugs, which delays the release, and currently the F-15E hasn't even made it into ED's internal testing as far as I know, so how on earth would it come out? Gentlemen, the deadline is far away and that's it. When the model goes to the reviewers, add another 2 weeks to the release. When Grim Reapers and others Youtubers start shooting a video, then start wondering when the F-15E module will come out, there is no point before that, seriously :).

Nothing BIG (for the rest) is coming Today, unless the MT patch has a lot of fixes. Maybe at most there will be a BIG fix for MT.
