Saint_Fuller Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) I think something like that 3-tone scheme was also used by the US Army for AFVs before the sandbox wars and its descent into Desert Tan Hell started.

ratdeath Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I really hope it's between NATO and Warsaw Pact but I am happy with a cold war era CM in Korea as well. Either way it's a nice change from WW2 and modern era  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I didnt know it, but I very strongly suspected that you guys had planned some kind of ambush with a completely new game family. I had hoped it would have been Fall Gelb or Barbarossa, though (not that I´m complaining). Yeah I too have had my suspicions since the last round of patches (the scripts text file was full of new additions including Pattons, M113's, T-80's & LAW's ). Excellent news and it'll be a guaranteed purchase from me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aragorn2002 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I'm not sure I understand why this news wasn't included in the 'bone' this year. Combined with the endless delay on the Fire and Rubble module it's all a bit of an Enigma to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that they wanted Fire and Rubble somewhat halfway out of the door before they announced anything new. My hope was/is that they were working on more stuff and 2021 might be a very good year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacillator Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Although I'm currently 100% WW2 (and thankfully I know a little bit about it), BFC seems to be doing its best to get me into more modern conflicts. Oh well, time to start learning again . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still so much ground to cover with regard to WW2. Winter War, Blitzkrieg, North Africa, Russia 1941-1943 and so on and so forth. Modern conflicts are nice and each to his own, but I prefer the military conflicts from the past. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_MonkeyKing Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) I am still waiting for a hero to date these pictures to a month. We know: - Starship 1974-81 - Vehicle camo 1975-85 - Still wearing olive uniforms -1981 - M16A1 with 30-round mags approx.1977- - ALICE carry system 1973â1997 My estimation is summer 1979 What did I miss?

Indeed I am also somewhat impatient while waiting and I like it when the time between announcement and release is short. Like Bethesda did with Skyrim, they presented it at E3 in June if I am not mistaken and they launched the game in November that very same year! Hmm, I just fact checked my own memory and I mixed Skyrim up with Fallout 4. Skyrim was announced in December 2010. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1983 the balloon almost went up, so yes, about that time would be possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_MonkeyKing Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I am thinking that the fire and rubble setting is not a coincidence... A a lot of the map research and assets are going to be very helpful with a Cold War gone hot in Germany scenario... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the M60A2 was already phased out of service by then (81 according to wikipedia at least, and noted by Monkeyking who seems to have some expertise in the kit of this era). Countryside looks typical central Germany to me, although it seems the bus stop sign has Arabic text. Guess they borrowed those from Syria ;-). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

37mm Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Probably just the artificial night-brightness option. It should be noted the scripts file additions included the M2 Bradley (introduced in '81), M901 ITV* (introduced in '79), and, as the PASGT gear was standard issue by '85, I'm all but certain this will be a 1983 Fulda Gap game. *Also the M163 VADS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
