Did anybody also wonder what the new mode will be in The Afghanistan map?

since there won’t be that much room, airbase wise, for PvP

I don't understand the question. What kind of "new mode" are you thinking of?

[Badger1-1]

To directly quote the newsletter:“the Afghanistan map will bring a new mode of warfare to DCS battles and our most popular aircraft like the AH-64D, Mi-24P, A-10C, Su-25, F-16C, F/A-18C, will be great mission choices.  “

They just mean pure counter inaccuracy.

Not a gameplay mode.

You probably mean counterinsurgency? 
Let's not discuss here how accurate or inaccurate that is

Folks please stay on topic, thanks

and the big question is that the mig29A will be payed modul or an upgrade the exist modul? because the MIG-29A is already exist in   two different  shape. one FC3 bundle and one separate modul. both of them the same  and their have already  new accurate 3d model  and cockpit.  So the "new" release only contain the clickable cockpits and the backsystems or plus  more improved 3d model? it will be upgrade automatically for everybody who already has the modul?  Will the future plan  be that the non full fidelity modules upgrade to be the dcs  more consistent level?

The Mig-29A FF module has outside from all FC3 modules. Has totaly new, making from scratch, with funtionality, weapons, radar, etc never planned of old "simplified avionics" modules. The same situation if ED make a F-15C / A-10A / Su-25A / Su-25T / Su-27P or Mig-29S FF modules on a future.

Full fidelity  DCS: MiG-29A will be a new module,

the current MiG-29 is and always will be part of the FC3 series. 

thanks

The one seen in the 2024 and beyond video is an early F6F-3.

[Peter5on]

About Mig-29 there is other question, will I be able to fly booth multiplayer server so: full sim Mig-29 vs FC3 Style Mig-29, who will have more advantage? Me with simplified controls or the person with full fidelity? Will I be banned from all servers because I'm casual player?

Probably yes. I don't see why not.

It will depend on the situation. Does it really matter though?

No, you won't be banned from ALL servers!

Thanks for this important information.

So Hellcat and Corsair aren't on the same timeline.

Late 43 to early 44 for the F6F, late 44 to mid 45 for the F4U...

[Art-J]

^ Which is a good idea given the fact that we're getting Enterprise from ED (for the former) and one of Essex class from M3 (for the latter).

[Cahokia]

Still we don't have any official news about the precise model (why not both after all ?)

Chinook is precisely discribed as a mid 2000s CH-47F (more late 2000s but this is another subject)

For the MiG 29 the variant was reaveled the day of official announcement.

Hellcat is still announced as the "F6F", nothing more.

[BIGNEWY]

We will share more in future newsletters, each will have a reveal newsletter with more detail when we are ready.

thanks

Is Afghanistan map planned to be released in 2024? Seems pretty complete to me, will be nice to know also If it will come with at least a base in Pakistan. Thanks.

Nick has talk about a "double" release.

[Braunn]

Nice video. Like always, we get what we get when it's ready for early release basically. If Afghanistan and Iraq map is released 2024, then I bet if ED can get the Chinook ready there will be a LOT of happy faces. CH47D was heavily employed both wars.

There is no timeline for anything, and we all know things can happen so please consider that before counting your new modules for this year

That said, I don't think we said Afghanistan in 2024 in the video at all. Remember the video is what we are currently working on and will be coming in the future.
