Will the CH Infantry pack be added to the core?

I have been wanting the Javelin to be a in game option for years so figured I would ask here. The additional units would be great as well especially for us low flying pilots

Have you been dreaming of killing Javelinman from an airplane 30mm machine gun for many years?

No, rather have a javelin team knock out ground units from 5k away

I understood. You want to be able to transport them as an amphibious force.

I think ED has mention a couple of times that they are working on their updated infantry.

That's the problem: the community has been waiting forever for an infantry overhaul.
An overhaul that ED teased as early as 2021 in some newsletters... It's almost 2026, and five years later (!!!), still not a single word about new infantry.

 

 

 

 

To add to the players' frustration, ED has teased on several occasions what looks like a revamped, high-definition infantry system,
such as during the teaser for the Afghanisthan map :

 

We are waiting for too long...
Your infantry is fully functional and perfectly meets the community's expectations. It's a perfect!
There is AT, ATGM, Sniper, transportable mortars, manpads, heavy machine guns....

This is all the community await for years in DCS!

We're not even sure that in its remake, ED will incorporate such a variety of infantry!
It doesn't surprise me that the most frequent request regarding the integration of your mods into the core is about infantry integration.
It's such a crucial point for all helicopter pilots; it's a total game changer.

In my squadron, we have chinook, Huey and Mi-8 that dream about this type of infantry in the core (no mods autorized in a lot of squadrons...)

Missioning infantry makes Helo flying boring. (Or light jets) And yes, we are waiting too long for the new infantry.

Lol WTF is that TAPS set up?!?! Who approved of that... 12 mags, 4 grenades(maybe a 5th?), IFAK and a giant GP pouch. That set ups only purpose is to rest your arms on lol. I don't understand the recent hard on for balaclava masks. We don't wear that crap on the ground. Currenthill save us!

I'm not sure if this model is still relevant.
It was a 2021 presentation.
It might not still be current, or we would have probably already seen it in the game...

Haha, beware the wide load!

Sorry, but I'm also guilty of using the balaclavas. I do it so I don't have to model different faces, haha.
