  3. By the ED info, only a IJA tank (Type 97) has he shame with the M3 PTO assets pack. The rest AI units, has no match with the M3 assets.
  4. Many has claimed by ED on the last newsletter , and "2024 and Beyond" video. The problem, M3 has no put a update about your assest from some years ago... the last was on december 2022 on your FB and your webpage. The 3D model show on M3 pages has most detail with the actual ED pics. M3 has building some assets: Pacific Units Pack: Aircrafts: Some Japan aircraft's (none confirmed yet). Ships: USS Yorktown (CV-10) "Long-hull" Essex (Ticonderoga class). Land 8 cm/40 3rd Year Type naval gun Type 2 Ka-Mi amphibious tank Type 88 75 mm AA gun Type 89 I-Go medium tank Type 94 Truck Type 95 Ha-Go light tank Type 96 25 mm AT/AA Gun Type 97 Chi-Ha medium tank (Claimed by ED?) ED others:
  5. Review the ED vacant page, has not vacants actualy....
  6. That pics has with math with the "all gun" cruisers, the secundary guns has diferents. The detail has... ED maintain the CVL version of the Mogami from "2024 and Beyond"?
  7. Ai Zero will coming into de WW2 assets pack, no with the F6F hellcat. Surely with the release of WW2 Marianas Map.
  8. Ok, By the last newsletter, ED has "fill" the gaps on the WW2 ships, now capable to build propper Taks forces. The problem will be show the M3 land assets as into the WW2 assets pack. @-Rudel- Can put a update about the develop of the M3 PTO WW2 assets pack? Updating list: M3 (PTO assets pack) Air IJN A6M Zero Land: Ground IJA units (Tanks, atrillery, AAA) Sea Essex Long Hull class carrier.

Other point the Mowami CVL show on "2024 and Beyond" will be added to WW2 assets pack? Added to them the M3 PTO assets pack: USN Essex Class Carrier IJN/IJA Land assets
  10. ED has not posted yet any new troops release date yet, waiting for news. On fact, that year has not a "2025 Roadmap" Enviado desde mi CPH2197 mediante Tapatalk
  11. That Is a 3rd party making a module.....They have no control over the WW2 "planeset" if they dont claim a ETO "assets". That has a ED side work on WW2 assets pack team (and other 3rd parties on PTO), and 2025 and Beyond show a T-34 tank. And remember, many of the actual WW2 aircraft, coming from a old KS from a dead company, rescue by ED, and ED never was a WW2 plans before that dead project.

  12. That pic has no a USAF F-5E-3 versión. Other country surely. Enviado desde mi CPH2197 mediante Tapatalk
  13. He has only a betatester, no a ED develop team member, that require some oficial from WW2 team, no speculation. Enviado desde mi CPH2197 mediante Tapatalk
  14. ED has put any claims about WW2 has Stoped? Enviado desde mi CPH2197 mediante Tapatalk
  15. Yes, that has correct, but from the launch of the Forrestal CV some years ago, HB dont release any of "promise" assets (other Forrestal class CV, the deck crew, the other USN/Sweeden AI units as the A-6E, only little stubs about them. ED has show a T-34 (-85?) on 2025 and Beyond video, waiting news about them.
  16. The 2024 and Beyond was only a 3d mockup scanned A-7E, wait about that was a near release module has only a bad dream. A complete module has far away. The same has other "dissapear" modules, with starting to reapears slowly. Enviado desde mi CPH2197 mediante Tapatalk
  17. Currenthill need post on contact with ED and pass some stages before ED can put them into DCS.... As Copyright, original source material and others, to get a contract. Enviado desde mi CPH2197 mediante Tapatalk
  18. Waiting news, from a year ago video. Enviado desde mi CPH2197 mediante Tapatalk
  19. I think meanwhile M3 dont release the F4U, dont see news about F-8 Develop reports.
  20. No with Aerges. There are more possibilities of an S version, with the 3rd party IndiaFoxtEcho, which has more at hand the data of an F-104S, being Italian.
  21. Diferent teams and diferent products. And actualy has none technology to interconect them. That will require a complete redone when "Whole earth" coming. Ugra Media has building Germany map Marianas WW2 on progress by ED The current situation dont permit a "sensibre" theatre.
  22. By some tank simulators, and other data, only the Commander can launch smoke grenades. Enviado desde mi CPH2197 mediante Tapatalk
  23. Smoke grenades was implemented on some vehicles many years ago on AI and CA driable vehicles, if that not working, Will be a bug. I'm not on home, but can check them. Enviado desde mi CPH2197 mediante Tapatalk
