Welcome to Air Superiority! We’re ending 2023 in style with the awesome Air Superiority major update. Top-tier jets have been added to several nations, some of which include the F-15, the Su-27 and J-11, the Mirage 4000, plus the JAS39. We’ve introduced Rank VIII for ground vehicles, and subsequently new tanks: M1A2 SEP2, Leopard 2A7V, T-90M, VT-4A1, Strv 122B+ and Challenger 3 (TD)!

In this Roadmap article, we’ll be talking about one of the Roadmap additions to the Air Superiority major update, as well as talking about some of the plans we have for the future.

The majority of the original changes that we announced for the Roadmap have now been implemented into the game, so we’d now like to announce our future plans. We’ve now implemented the vast majority of planned changes that we set out back in the summer (43/45), with minor deviations from the original planned schedule without a delay of more than one update, which is a level of planning that we’re happy with.

Only two changes that were planned for this year have not been released, which we’re going to tell you more about now, so please read on.
