I'm just curios, is version 0.973 the final one, I mean no other updates??

If so, shame I thought I was waiting for other nations, or new stuff in PR, like the french army or Israel's Arab neighbors, or new MBT's such as Magach for IDF or scorpion tank for British or t-62s and t-80s for Russia and the MEC and other stuff........

don't get me wrong, this is not a suggestion, it's only a question about If there's a next version or not.

1.0 eventually. Lots of stuff too. I know there's a non disclosure, but have you guys started testing at all for it, testers? you dont have to tell me about it. I applied but never got a reply along time ago.

Don't look up if the next release is in 2014. The devs are doing this in their spare time so it takes way more time to develop than with paid employees.

It's not going to be even close to 2014. Q1 2013 at latest. There's been a lot of threads about this & lots of hints. Try looking through previous threads in the future.

FV101 Scorpion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In service: 1973 - (Retired in 1994 by the UK)
Only place you could possibly see it in is PR:Falklands but that's unlikely since someone would need to make it and the Scimitar is already in there filling that role just fine since iirc, there was only two of each deployed to the Falklands and only really have room ingame for either or and not both without it becoming overkill.

so the scorpion is out of service, but the scimitar is not however, since you have the models in PR:Falklands why not transfer it to PR, acording to Wikipedia:
Operators

United Kingdom : 325 units

The Scimitar is used by the five formation reconnaissance regiments of the British Army. Each regiment has three squadrons each of 12 Scimitars, The Household Cavalry Regiment has an extra squadron to support 16 Air Assault Brigade.
there is also the 4x4 FV721 Fox Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance

why not adding those to the game, maybe not great influence in wars, but still great equipment, you can also look for other armoured vehicles of the british army here

yep... a fat well-protected tank, and it is existing and in use with the Jordanian army, with several upgrades such as the 120mm gun, and improved shoot-while-on move capability and other stuff, you can read about it here

Wow, the Striker (FV102) is hell of a thing... (TOW-launcher on scimitar, like the spandrel)
Would be awesome in PR... :D

There will be a next release and it will be 1.0.

We won't post any release dates or anything, just be patient.
Just keep an eye on our media channels like the forums and facebook and you won't miss anything.

There is no need to post dates or anything. We were waiting almost a year, longer waiting makes no difference.

Thx for responce.

As the wiki page says, the Fox was withdrawn from UK service in 1993 / 1994...

The community factions only are released when a new version of PR comes out, also, you listed some very outdated equipment that could be released, like the T-62 for the Russians, why? They already have the T-90, if you want the Arab countries that are near to Israel, then you'll need a Community to make that faction, only some factions got released and made by the DEVs, indeed some of the DEVs were from a community faction, making maps, stuff, etc.

The T-62 can be featured in future releases to be used by the Iraq Insurgents, the Magach was removed from service in 2006 and now the IDF uses the Merkava, Wikipedia says that some Magach are still being used but they are not standard, so the DEV team won't put it.

Figured this list might be appreciated by the community -

Things We've Seen That Will Probably Be In 1.0 -

New Guns -

- C7CT (Canada)
- New SKS/SKS with grenade launcher (various factions)
- PKM (various factions)
- New Chinese small arms (QSZ-92/QBB-95/QBZ-95/QBZ-95B) (China)
- MK-12 SPR (USMC)
- FN-MAG/M-240B (various factions)

New Vehicles -

- Mi-8/Mi-17 transport and attack helicopter (Russian, probably MEC)
- Z-9/Z-9WA transport and attack helicopter (China)
- BMP-1 (Militia)
- BMP-2 (Russia)
- New AH-64 Apache
- BMP-2M (MEC)
- Jackal armoured vehicle
- CH-146 Griffon helicopter (Canada)
- Zastava 900 AK

French Forces Related Stuff

- Renault GBC 180
- VBCI
- AS-532 Cougar
- VAB
- Leclerc Main Battle Tank

... Plus all sorts of small arms and other stuff which I'm too lazy to catalogue (go to the community modding section for that, lazy bums! :) )

Probable Inclusions

- New T-72
- Up-Armoured HMMWV
- New MEC kit geometries
- L129A1 Marksman Rifle (UK)

... And probably more than a dozen new maps (a few are being tested currently, a few have been hinted on for ages now, and at least half-a-dozen near-completed maps have vanished from the community mapping section over the last year or so, with their creators given R-CON or R-DEV).

This list still probably still represents a minority of what will likely be in the final version, first because I've forgotten a large amount of stuff or haven't bothered to list it and second because I imagine a lot of stuff remains unseen.

To put it simply, this is in all likelyhood going to be the largest patch PR has seen.

...and v1.0 is NOT the final version, it's just a number. As long as there are developers, there will be new versions.
