Sweden/Baltic theater/map

As a rule of thumb, if it's not in a newsletter, this monday's AMA, in the Steam ID leak or announced officially, those rumours are, well, just runours.

 

Speaking of rumours, this video ED posted a year and a half ago is a bit interesting. It may just be an example of how to use the terrain editor, or perhaps part of something that never went any further, but I find it interesting nonetheless:

Could've sworn I heard somewhere that LNS was possibly working on a Finland map...

 

LNS has made no official announcements regarding any of the maps. The only hint they've left us as far as I'm aware was regarding the map for the F-14 being somewhere cold and wet. They have never been more specific than that.

Okay...thanks for the clarification! :thumbup:

Well....it sure sounded that we'll get appropriate theatre with AJS37 just a year ago.

It's also very important to remember that you may only catch a glimpse of the big picture with just the module names.

We have spent considerable time and resources into making sure that the products we create have an appropriate environment, opponents and other content.

 

Theatre Development

During most of 2015; we've focused on the creation of primary map content

for our planned theatres. This includes not only things like actual map objects (hangars, trenches, bunkers, destroyed aircraft, buildings, vegetation, and much more) but

also various vector assets such as roads, coastlines, elevation models, bodies of water and similar items.

 

Learning the production pipeline for the creation of maps for DCS has taken us close to the entire year; but we are now confident in our ability to create any terrain we set our mind to for the platform.

Perhaps most exciting, is that we've already carried out several in-game tests of already produced sections of land. It's a small, but very exciting step forwards!

 

In the beginning of 2016; we will be investing additional resources into the expansion of our theatre construction team. This will be in the form of more permanent employees at our offices in Swinoujscie.

We feel that only a large investment package will be enough to maintain our project goals, especially for products slated in 2017 and beyond.

The entire nordic region with Murmansk, Iceland Norway, Sweden. Finland and the baltic would be the dream map. We could reenact much of red storm rising!

You're not wrong, but there is no specific info at all in that post and that was exactly my point. I was trying to get slow rumors that people have heard here and there about this or that area when I'm fact we have been given no such information. :-)

Damn Right, it would.   That's a bit huge for me though, just imagine how bogged down it could get on a public server, just the Baltic regions would suit me, with from Gdansk to Murmansk!  That's my motto.   Not to mention that Kaliningrad is one of the most heavily armed places on the planet.

I'd also like to see Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia added as DCS countries in DCS itself.  They are NATO now...
