Hey, is there any chance that upcoming premiums like the Dutch F-16 could still be a pre-order pack?

Don’t worry, you will get F15EX, F15IA while Russia gets Su35 with a 360000 degree radar and 16 R77M, you will be happy, it will be balanced.

obvs it’ll get a new R37M variant with 69g overload, TVC. IR, TV, GNSS, ARH and DL guidance at mach 6.7

Hi @Smin1080p_WT!

Is there any reason for the new german Mi-24D is rank VI with 380.000 RP to obtain while the others are just rank V and only 150.000 RP? Or this is just a dev server thing?

Still there, (on different language version)
