DD Today?

[86Cheese]

Someone had to do it. Where's that release date announcement, amirite?

[Rodwonder]

Yep...

[BlitzPig_EL]

Bring it!!

I need my F-51 fix

.

[Dash,Polder]

No, you need an F-51 sub-forum. 

Man I hope each aircraft gets it's own sub forum, if the complexity they've shown so far is real nothing will prove as invaluable for a single point of operator reference and technical information.

It was said that developers are busy, so there was no DD on Friday. 

I think that announcement will pop up in few weeks. 😌

You mean like tomorrow?

Maybe you'll spill the beans if I show you these pics of this F-51 from Oskosh this year.

Excited to see the birth of the new saga! So many memories of this exact moment with Great Battles! It's been and will still be a blast!

Oh man, I can't wait! the announcement can't come soon enough!

Well, I would say this quote from the latest news says a lot:

And another page will appear on the new website this week - after all, 24 years is a pretty good adult age to create a family.

I wonder why no one began speculating yet, haha. Then again, there's not much to speculate. It definitively means we get an official storefront page for Korea this week, and it would make sense to give a release date as well. Now *if* I were to speculate, we might even get a pre-order possibility and/or - that's more hope than speculation - an Early Access surprise release this week.

I like this kind of speculation.

Pre-order or EA release makes sense so they can take advantage of the holiday period. Not that smart to open up orders early next year when people's wallets are in the ICU.

Han said that there is a big annoucement soon!

Also, Han also said the original planned date was November 2025, this very month:

This might mean the release is really, really close. Fingers closed!

Here is the thread where you can find other questions and answers:

He also said more recently that the release date will be in 2026, so I fear we still have to wait for a bit 🙂

You are quoting very selectively. He also said that the new GUI took a lot more time. Since we don't know how much delay that added, we can't really know what the release date will be.

Seems like it! But Winter 25/26 seems to be on track! But we need more official info. I hope we get it this week. 😄

True, but the current information is that it'll be released this winter, in 2026. So that gives an IMO very short window of 3 months 🙂

LukeFF has been teasing us for weeks about his upcoming announcement so I think we'll hear more very soon 🙂

Well something is happening in the other DD thread. Looks like BoX announcement is happening today, we may have to wait a bit longer for Korea 🤨

Yep. Answering some questions all around the internet. Part 1. : IL2Series

Question: Should we expect "Odessa and Leningrad" this to be the last release for Great Battle's before the shift to Korea?

Answer: for sure it's not. We have allready started the development of several airplanes which are waited and desired by community for long time.

Stay tuned for news updates in our social media - soon there will be a large announce on what we plan to provide for you in the 2026 in Great Battles.
