I don’t think it is stated in devblogs
So I’d say on dev server
That would be around a week before (maybe little more)

That ship was an example of military procurement gone awry. It was supposed to be a new generation of combate ahips with nothing but untested systems rather then integration of known working systems. Ultimately it ended before the teething could finish cause of the over budget nature.
Cool and release dates are announced in teaser/trailer or dev blog first? I’ve never followed updates for this game before and I’m getting antsy on where any F/A-18s end up in the USA tree.

Release date is not announced
Never really was
You’ll just have to keep your eyes on news section when technical works are announced, that means that update will go live next day (after the maintenance is over)

Devblogs first for about a week or two, then thursdays teaser and Friday the dev stream followed by a test on a dev server.
Only guarantee we have is that the update will drop before December 24th, so 23rd at most.

I’d say week before
Either 17th or 19th December

I’m hoping for that tbh - for that to happen we’d need the dev stream and server next friday

I’m sure someone has a spreadsheet where there are first devblog dates (and how many devblogs were released until the teaser) and teaser release dates for comparison
I assume you mean this

Yes, that’s it
Thank you
EDIT: Huh, teaser reveal is predicted to be on 5th. Makes sense IMO

You cannot simply generate infinite airflow, if an F-22 pilot entered a fight with a eurocanard and exclusively used a strategy of using his TVC to pull high AoA to point his nose, then he will just be fried as the typhoon or rafale climb over his nose, roll and pitch down to gain an easy shot while he is trying to recover his airspeed, it’s TWR might be amazing but there is still a lengthy period of recovery from a high alpha manoeuvre.
A smart F-22 pilot will not excessively use his TVC, instead using it more as a tool than a feature of the aircraft, this will grant him the ability to stay above the nose of the opponent or quickly save himself from a sticky situation, however it is not the ungodly capability you make it out to be .
The leak list didnt have a rank 6 ship for germany, did it? Shouldnt germany still get one due to the quote made by smin that every nation gets one?
is the Scharnhorst not enough? It’s been dominant since it’s addition and only second to the Japanese sluggers at top tier
no it’s absolutely not
the ICE has a Fully new Radar and RWR to update it, the 23-98 doesn’t
the ICE gets 4, AMRAAMs + 4 Sidewinders, the 23-98 gets 4 Missiles total, either R-77 or R-73
it’s gon be worse than the Bison if it had gotten R-77

Dont know. Smin just said that every nation will get a rank 6 ship which didnt already get one in the next 2 updates and germany still didnt get on. This is the last update for the statement to be correct
Let’s consider how poorly the F-4F ICE was received, and then look at the Mig-23 since it’s nerf, not a combo that is enjoyable for anyone, even the diehard advocates for Russian Air.
You have none of the benefits that make the ICE even playable in the first place, on top of some of the most mediocre missiles at top tier. Through asking for this, you are in simpler terms asking for suffering.
I’d get it if he asked for a MiG-21-98 because that one is at least manouverable

i wouldnt doubt that if anything the mk2 was made to better equal the 81, since UK would be able to inspect the 81 they got with F-35 and then put those capabilities into the mk2.
could you elaborate on the AWACS claim though
I just do not think that a lot of these post cold war modernisation projects are a good idea, anything based off of a 3rd gen airframe that is forced to compete with current top tier, or any 4th gen with Fox-3s will always be worse than their counterparts. Sure they are nice to see but all of them so far have not performed well, plus they are usually premium (in the case of the Bison and JA37Di) which means the worst aircraft in the BR range also are being played nearly exclusively by new and inexperienced players. These aircraft can wait imho
