If you are referring to the way the guys run away, I saw that here too:

[fargo007]

Good eye.  You guys may be right about this....   

[MRTX]

They also seem to have gotten new ragdolls.

[Stratos]

And the trucks at 0:20??

[Grennymaster]

there working on the AI System, think this could be a WOP of it. But yeah the units itself look different

Wags on a youtube reply about this said they the new infantry have been in dcs awhile unless i miss understood him.

Here I thought I was seeing things I wanted to see. Glad I’m not the only one.

Hey @Wags, any chance we can get clarification. Is this true? Thanks!

[DuncanXP311]

The "Disperse under fire" thing has always been around, don't know if it has been enhanced or something. 

[NineLine]

The statement was: 

 

the answer from Wags was:

 

 

As in nothing new in there on this front, its what is currently possible in release today.

 

Thanks

[Enduro14]

Thanks for clarification, so is that with the soldiers set to disperse under fire in mission editor?  @NineLine

It just looked so much cooler in the TADS than it ever has before I guess!

The one thing I'm starting to notice is that we're getting plenty of videos, but no "Pre-order now!" videos, and it's got me a but suspicious...

I'm kinda hoping for a pre-order tomorrow, now that the Mosquito is out of the way, and with all the teaser videos released... I'm hoping tomorrow is the day. It'll be the last step out of the way before release!!

Or maybe.... nah.... it's nuts....

[AvgeekJoe]

I'll be patient on pre-order, but truly excited at the thought of a proper AH-64 sim that is the best 2021 computing can offer!

That doesn't mean anything. Just beware that a preorder does not guarantee any kind of release date window. Don't worry, if you're anxious to give ED your money you will get your chance soon enough.

As Wags and Nineline have said, this is nothing new. We currently have two different types of infantry models in DCS. Some infatry units still use the old model, which looks rather stiff and robotic (the US rifleman and M249 solder would be examples of this) and then there are infantry units that use the new model (the middle eastern rebels are such an example) which has much more realistic movement animations and looks much more alive.

I think what you're noticing is the fidelity of the FLIR model.

I don't know if they're using a dev version with the new FLIR model, or if it's just that the current generation model looks that much better in the new aircraft.

Looks to be the ZIL-135 that we've had for a short while now.

 

Unsure what the other truck is.

 

At 0:25 though the truck nearest the buildings on the left could be new (the one next to the BM-21), but it might not be, though ED did tease this and this in the 3rd of May 2019 newsletter (as well as the new ATZ-5-4320, that was implemented in DCS 2.7.1.6430).

 

*Side note, contrary to what the newsletters and images describes them as, these are actually all Ural-4320 based, not Ural-375 based. This includes the ATZ-5 and AA-7.

I think people are looking into it too much and is imagining things.
