[AncientMan]

Updated the gallery to include loading backgrounds .

[cyberzomby]

OMG! Time to get back in to PR! <3

[Gore]

Looking forward to AAS4. Can we expect a highlights reel anytime soon?

[KiloJules]

As always, excellent update, nice work on that tool, the map overhauls and the new map!

Just wondering:
Did i get it right, that the PLA wont have all the flags on Barracuda from the beginning?
Seems interesting and i am looking forward to find out how it works out!

Thanks for improving our favorite game even more!

Oh, someone requested one of these:

[Yrkidding]

Looks like an awesome update, awesome to see Canada on Kokan, that should be interesting, shame to see Wanda go though simply because of a bunch of complainers/whiners

P.S. so the Lashkar infantry layer also gets APCs, is it just less than the Standard layer then?

[pfhatoa]

Very sad with Wanda Shan Loved the scenery.

[ghostfool84]

Is the VCP on Kokan also updated? I dont relly miss Wanda Shan, i think it was not ready. But maybe next time.

[Arc_Shielder]

I guess this release will only be to improve, optimize and fix for the most part. I'm ok with that, but I'm almost sure that we will hear and read people whining about the lack of new content.

I don't think any change will salvage Korengal Valley and it's a shame Wanda Shan is not there. Shijia Valley in the other hand looks exciting to play.

[dtacs]

Puma's on the Lashkar Infantry layer? Doesn't that defeat the concept of the Infantry layer in the first place?

Insurgency Dragonfly is going to be VERY interesting. Shame there are no BMP-1's at all though.

Smart putting the Canadians on Kokan, they're honestly a dead faction considering development has pretty much stopped entirely. Loving this as well..good to see the map finally brought up to developer standard.

[Hauteclocque]

Shame there are no BMP-1's at all though.

We have decided not to add much new content and focus on the current bugs of 0.95 for this release.
It can be frustating (even for us developers) not to have new toys/places to play with, but optmization and map fixing was really needed.
BMPs (as well as a lot of new vehicles) will be added on 0.96+

Smart putting the Canadians on Kokan, they're honestly a dead faction considering development has pretty much stopped entirely.

Are you so sure ?

Awesome, would love to see more Canadian maps

[quote="Arcturus_Shielder""]I don't think any change will salvage Korengal Valley[/quote]

Very much agreed on that.

Just wondering:

Looks like it. I wonder who actually gets to Airfield first though, the US flying or the Chinese driving.

Also, I see the Brits have no artillery or J-DAM on Burning Sands. Interesting. And choppers back on the Alt layer of Basrah, some pretty cool changes, can't wait for release

EDIT: On the Dragonfly Detailed Overviews for Ins. it says Militia have Arty, which I assume is a typo?

[Brainlaag]

Choppers on Basrah OMGOMGOMG, feels like 0.75 BTW Have you changed the lighting on Jabal, looks kinda more brighter, like early afternoon?

[Vista]

Tbh, congratulaions, you deserve the best of the world.

The update looks amazing, cant wait for this...

Now the hard question, when? (I know you are not gonna give me a precise date but atleast comfirm its ready in 3 months...)

[Hauteclocque]

Compare with the former releases procedure and you'll get a rough idea.

[dtacs]

Are you so sure ?

I mean development in the same vein as the Russians or US. The last additions were the small arms, and they're still using outdated kit geometries. They need a severe overhaul in terms of look and gameplay dynamic in order to be taken seriously IMO. This doesn't mean new assets. Its literally just the USMC except with a few negligible changes. Anyway sorta off topic but thats just my 2c.

[KaizerSosa81]

Excellent work gentlemen, looking forward to this indeed. Especially AASv4.

[xambone]

NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!! the maps done reveal if we get the LAV's back on muttrah! Any news on that, i know rhino was starting to smell the roses about bringing them back. Is the commander feature being worked on also? the UAV

[PLODDITHANLEY]

Nice to see the flag on Fools on the south of the river has gone.

Doesn't show arty for Brits on BS.

NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!! the maps done reveal if we get the LAV's back on muttrah! Any news on that, i know rhino was starting to smell the roses about bringing them back.

Every response I've ever seen on the matter has stated that its extremely unrealistic to have LAVs deployed from the carrier, and that the AAVPs would be staying. I can't imagine that's changed.
