There is a problem there however. Anything in the game is subject to change at some stage. At one stage, we hard denied supersonic jets would ever be a thing. The same with air-to-air missiles and many other things. Things can change, there is always a potential chance of that. Its been used against myself and many others many, many times even though we are simply providing the official answers and plans as they are at the time. So we don’t see a need or reason to do that anymore.
You will also notice I said its same about the EAP:
But you didnt seem to rush to say “omg EAP clearly planned”.
Quite frankly we are not going to hard deny vehicles anymore. If we have no current plans to speak of, like this, then we will say that when we can so people don’t get false expectations.
Developer Note: We would like to draw attention to the fact that the F/A-18E Super Hornet and other jets for USA, USSR, China and Sweden that are coming in Line of Contact means there are four vehicles at rank VIII vertically for these nations, which is something we said we would not do. This will only be temporary as we would like to confirm that in early 2026 we’ll be introducing rank IX for aircraft, which aims to solve this problem by moving some rank VIII aircraft to rank IX along with some economic changes. However, until then, you can still use aircraft at rank VII to effectively research the new top-tier jets released in the Line of Contact major update. Stay tuned for more news coming in the next few months!
really? I propose you put the Su-30MKV/MKK to 12.3 then, I got one in the harrier gr.7 yesterday. It was mega fun, trust, clearly its not at an appropriate BR.
Also excellent timing, clearly the BRs arent compressed as hell and actually make a lot of sub-top tier vehicles completely unplayable, should wait with the changes for at least a few months more
Currently, there are no plans for the SU-47 full stop.
Comes in. Thats not hard denying the plane will ever come, just that its not currently in the pipework for updates in the near future. Which is clearly something you aren’t willing to say.
Like I said, that statement clearly wouldn’t be hard denying the vehicle. But carry on, I understand your hands are tied.
Sadly it doesn’t matter what words you put in front of or around things.
As evidenced today, even with the dev blog warnings about things being subject to change, when it does occur, is still taken as “Lies”. Particularly as some people are out for the gotchas and points scoring too more than any facts or details.
So its safer all round to simply keep things within the current plans and context. We have no current plans for the Su-47 to speak of. The same case for the EAP.
