ok, I found reddit post about it. Seems like they deleted in news. There was maintenance in march 18, and then in this same day major update released
There’s always a news post before the update, they get deleted afterwards as with all other news posts.

So yeah, more than 12 hours before the update
as with every update…
scheduled maintenance is always announced a day in advance
and As last time, and most times in general it’s usually a Tuesday that the Update releases because this means there are 4 Office days available for Hotfixes
Thursdays and Fridays are Extremely Unlikely for Major update releases
Thursdays are still way more common that fridays but yeah its most likely going to be early next week
If the update was today, we would’ve had a technical works post on the main website yesterday, as usual. Update is probably next week.
@Smin1080p_WT I’m guessing this Swiss blog was just for the Hornet pre-order and not the Swiss sub it self ?
SU-57 will be ass compared to the F-22 and J-20/J-35 ngl lmao, good luck to Russian mains who will definitely manage to cope their way to artificial buffs (I can’t wait for the F-22 and J-16 mainly).

Yeah it’s so annoying, takes about 20 tries to actually post anything now, but like with the rest of WT bug fixes for the forums seems as rare as sim bug fixes

i think it is fake, the f-35 wont fit the game in the current setting
I think the leaker is also (rightfully) annoyed about Gaijin making most of the new spaa mediocre.
At least it reads that way.
it isnt
it comes from a trusted source

the Su-57 is by far the worst 5th gen aircraft having an RCS rating higher then some 4.5th gens from the front, the literal only saving grace is its IRCCM which based on how its been modelled on the Mi28NM will probably be incredibly overpowered to make up for the complete lack of stealth

Honestly surprised they’re rushing into Gen 5 because from a gameplay perspective it’s either going to be netuered or unfun.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they try to make it more interesting by adding next gen IR missiles. Regardless, I was hoping they’d stay on Gen 4.5 for a couple years before capping off with Gen 5, but I guess Gaijin has other plans after Gen 5

By the fact that both the F-22 and J-20/J-35 seem to be more appropriate 5th generation aircraft actually incorporating stealth aspects? Pretty sure the SU-57 was mocked by Chinese citizens when it was displayed in the Zhuhai international aviation & aerospace exhibition as well lol.
Everyone overhyped the SU-30 expecting it to be blatantly unbalanced and guess what? It’s an absolute boat, the only way the SU-57 will be viable is if Gaijin gimps other nations in favour for Russia at top tier or if they artificially buff the SU-57.
Or they could always make up fictional things like when they did it for the Kh-38 (MT variant, I’m looking at you)
