If you believe something is wrong, please submit a report when the testing starts. I'm afraid I don't have that info at the moment.

I don't believe there are any planned changes in that area this update.

It's a possibility. But nothing is certain.

Yes.

One of two candidates will come. Whatever is finished first.

They are getting the F-16 at least this patch.

The countermeasure pods are being worked on and we're not ready to show during the stream.

A later major update.

Yes. ADV will be a later patch.

The German one isn't ready to show yet, but that's most likely where it will be.

It's not. It's Jordanian Chieftain.

Loadouts are not final at the moment.

There are plans for the F-16 for Italy. Lots of things are still WIP at the moment. However as mentioned, future patches will also expand Rank 8.

Guys, to answer your questions, we are aware Italy used the F-16. It's mentioned in the blog:

"In addition to the United States, a number of foreign countries have become operators of the F-16A Fighting Falcon fighters, including Belgium, Israel, Pakistan, Italy, Indonesia and others."

However for this patch, Italy is planned to receive something, but it's too early to confirm anything at this time. Please stay tuned to the news today to find out more. So we cannot announce it like we have the others.

Whilst this is the launch of Rank 8, more Rank 8s will be added in the future too.

"EC maps" these have been in standard RB for several patches now. Its not EC mode.

Italy has something else to look forward this patch. No nation is getting two new Rank VIIIs introduced at the same time.

The question (and thus answer) was regarding standard RB. So it is entirely true.

I'm not sure why you are trying to apply my answer to a mode I wasn't reffering too.

Most Air RB games finish before that time.

The current top EC maps are the largest possible in game currently.

Germany and Britian had equal splits (42.5% each) and Italy the minority (15%).

The company was set up in Germany, but it was a three way ownership / project. Initially started by the UK and Germany but Italy joined in the same year.

Any weponary loadouts are not fully final yet and still subject to development.

Even if it does come, one missile also does not mean a significantly later airframe, avionics package and overall much later aircraft (which is one of about 2 options left for Japan at top rank) can come at the launch of much earlier variants.

Stay tuned to the news to find out what's in the patch.

Not this patch as we have already mentioned. It's nowhere near the F-16 shown in the teaser.

Gonna have to tap the sign again unfortunately:
