Grenny Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 1 minute ago, GSprocket said: Mil contracts are not an excuse, they are a reason. They are the reason that eSim can provide SB Pro PE and continue developing it. They are the reason that development windows for Pro PE are limited and slippage by a few weeks can cause months of postponement for a release. They are the reason *for* much of the content that is available for the 'game' version. How likely do you think the breadth and depth of simulated vehicles we have would be with the revenue from the consumer stream? Nobody disputes that these contracts are vital for the exsistance of SB and esim. The reason for slipped release dates they are not...I see them more in the point i mentioned( just an observation) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Leader Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) While we're waiting, will there be any changes to British infantry in 4.0, e.g. 3D model with British-pattern helmet, small arms, LAW 80?

Otherwise it wouldn't be a predictions....with your given preconditions, the first date would be announced on release day. And what is wrong with that??? At least its properly tested and ready...Now you have people chomping at the bit and want it now,and they are still waiting... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am one of those people chomping at the bit and wanting it now ... and still waiting. There is nothing wrong with that. The difference is that most of the posters on the site (like me) have the understanding that predictions and forecasts are subject to variables and hence some level of unpredictability. When the predictions or forecasts are not met, we also have the emotional maturity and self-control to understand the issues and cope with it. Unless I have misread this particular thread, this is a posting or update thread related to a new product release. It is only logical that it will contain a discussion and update about the prospective release time. We are fortunate that we have a candid and honest dev. that is willing and open to share both the good and bad news. I would venture to say that this is the reason that most of the visitors to this particular thread access this thread - to be updated about the good or bad news. If you do not wish to know anything about the progress of the product until it is READY under your definition then the answer seems to be pretty simple. You may wish to reconsider whether it would make you happy to continue to access and read this particular thread or instead wait for the release notice. In the mean time, customers like myself want to be kept in the loop - good and bad news - so no, eSim should continue to keep us up to date about whatever news or issues arise, and their best guess as to when they predict to release the game. You do not want to know - great, do not read it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inexus Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Just want to chime in and say that I reckon Ssnake is doing a very good job at communicate everything that is happening which helps promote transparency and communication.  If people don't understand how software development takes place and they find it unbelivable that last minute issues are common on projects then they are better off just go away and check the esims web site for when 4.0 will be officially on sale.  The forum here gives us a unique insight into what is taking place and the ability for some Q&A, feedback and wishes. Thumbs up to the guys here in the forum that continue to provide updates, lots of videos to show features, etc.  Have a great weekend 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StKpPzBrig18 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Oh Boy, reading the last weeks seems to me like the Door stay closed for al lot of People here on christmas day............. We all were young and remember what it means. It is amazing what communication means in this Threat. Over years it´s like awaking from a long sleep by an poisend apple.........to this Simulation Yes Simulation not a game at all. A lot of People are Off Duty Soldiers in this Thread and they know what it means to stay on the battlefield without pants or with an cut wired of an Milan or HOT Missile when the fucking BMP is closed to you. Yeah Marko, i read that about hunting down the Marder, but remeber a Marder is a Marder and has the the Milan Team nearby. The Last you maybe see is a liitle smokestream coming from that missile before it hit´s. so it could be me firing this rocket on you. Forgive me, Once a west german Member of an Forward Defence Group north of Hamburg in the 80´s in the First Line and waiting for that first shoot............ so long......... So for me it was and is a Pleasure to read so many fevering SteelBeast Lovers. But i hope we see you back on the Battlefield in large and long tired Battle were ever it should happen.  And a few words about all the other shooter or maybe Simulation. I play the whole OPF/Arma Series and Squad and and and but the realismn and the simulation charakter is outstanding on SteelBeast only DCS stands in the same Line of SBPro. And that´s why it take´s more time to find the little small Bug in that huge Simulator.  Sorry for me rusty poor english.  Now i have to learn my Job for this weekend. Bying first time a CoPilot and Weapons Officer on an Gazelle at DCS. And there i have my HOT 3 Missiles and a lot of BMP waiting for me in that Kaukasus Conflict ;)) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i am well aware the Marder is superior in two of the three areas commonly used to benchmark a IFV's ability's Armour and firepower not to sure about mobility the BMP is very mobile.

Lumituisku Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Ones have to remember that our BMP-2s will come in large numbers. Will you have enough missiles, and ammunition to stop them? Not to forget dismounts they carry. - And to remember of course that these things you seem to call scrap metal, often come with tank support.   Believe me, now when BMP-2s and t-72s will become crewable, missions will get a whole lot more interesting when your opponents will actually react, and counter your tactics even on individual unit level.  I have no doubt of what is going to happen. Eastern equipment will take heavy casualties as before. But hopefully you guys will be sweating a lot more than before, and we can have great games and great fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingtiger Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I do not want an opfor VU. Think it feels wrong And condescending to just call it opfor. I rather see a soviet influenced VU that are up for h2h now an then with both sides using correct tactics for respective units. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
