Sure that wasnāt the Bugs out ahead? Strikes me that the Vipers and Bugs were SEAD/DEAD and ended up in a dogfight with the MiGs.
@near_blind let the hype begin. Wags just said F-14 later this month. Check the comments on the sale video.

i dont think its bullshit. its from wags youtube account.
cringe
Pessimistic tendencies tinglingā¦ Because as much as I want to believe it, DCS doesnāt have a track record of meeting predicted dates, much less beating them. Remember the statement Wags made back in November regarding the Bug.

NEVER HAPPENED!!! 
I just spent the Ā£50 I had saved for tomcat on ace combat 7 so the chances of it being released soon have actually doubled because luck hates meā¦ So thereās that

Wait, wait, wait, let me get this straightā¦ You have a Turkey in your avatar, youāre one of the people looking forward to it, and you havenāt already pre-ordered?

I donāt do pre ordering. It is one of the few rules I have stuck to!
My money stays in my bank in case I need it lol.
X rebirth still makes me angry when I think about the week I took off work to play it after I pre ordered that garbage 
EDIT. Although I did say I would break my pre-order Embargo if they gave at @near_blind a early access copy but I donāt think that anyone took me seriously or cared lol

I gotta agree.
With instant digital delivery, I donāt do preorder either.
What is the point? Itās not like they will run out of copies on release day.
To save money? If I was so into that, Iād wait for the inevitable 50+% off sale.
To show support for the developer? Then Iāll pay what they are asking when they release it.
I am OK with āEarly Accessā though. For me, it is a simple equation. If what they are selling today is worth the dollars to me then Iāll pull the trigger. The Hornet at release met this criteria and then some. If they make it better, bonus!
Buying early access with the requirement that they further develop before I āget my moneys worthā is the same as preorder to me. Wonāt do it.

I will absolutely be day 1 purchasing the tomcat. Iām pumped for it.
I will pay full price no questions asked.
But your not having my cash until you have a product to sell. Not arguing with people who do thatās not my decision. But my personal view is that I get paid at the end of the month for that monthās work. I donāt get paid in advance for the next one.
Lets not turn the f14 thread into a preorder debate lol

I understand completely, no harm done. Just poking fun. 
FWIW I only ever pre-ordered one game in digital download and that was Bioshock Infinite.

Iām gonna post my sales receipt if they do give it to near blind though
Were it any other team, I probably wouldnāt have pre-ordered, but the Viggen has been solid and Heatblur has been very good at staying in touch with the community, so I took a chance.
Still, when it comes to release dates, I put them in the same category as gas station sushi.

Love it
Now that I think about it, that distrust was set in me at a much younger ageā¦ Winter '98, when Heavy Gear 2 got delayed. Didnāt get released til 6 months later! Kid me was very disappointed.

The community eats them right up and then really regrets it later?
But this seems believable, I mean based on the previews Iāve read/watched, itās good to go by early access standards. I know theyāre shooting for āmostly completeā, but itāll be a tad annoying if that pushes them past a winter q1 release.
