A bit more than 4, and most if the tree was clearly not bothered to include an ounce of thought since they had to include a swedish jet and another vampire. It needed to focus on more vehicle that yes were copy paste but would have added to the holes in the air tree since most of the vehicles thatvare unique are premium or are missing most of their finnish equipment.
Gaijin has 0 planning for the vehicles they may introduce 12-15 months later. That is why I also like the new event type. Give F-16 Block 25 over an original jet or a 182491th T-80 variant instead of an original premium.
It can go back as far as all 13 years if it needs too. That spreadsheet is not what our updates are based upon.
Its a good indication for the general timeframe of when updates can fall (but then again that period window is hardly difficult to tell without it), but it has no relation to the current major or any future majors development cycle or release date.
Majors have and always will move around +/- dates. The same with blogs.
The fact the current majors blogs (or the next) dont line up with the previous year(s) doesn’t mean the current major is “late”, “early” or otherwise.
