Blooddawn1942 Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 I had a dreadful thought for a second. Morse has something to do with the Navy, right? Even if it was used by airforces, it's mainly a thing associated with the navy. What, if the announcement is about a ship simulation? Oh noooooo! Fingers crossed for the pacific! 1
Pikestance Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 If they were to do a navy sim it would most likely be in conjunction with and not to the inclusion of a Pacific campaign. I pretty sure it is a Pacific addition based on the Morse code, but is that what they want us to think. ?
Blooddawn1942 Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 If they are hinting us towards a Pacific theater with the morse code and it's turning out to be another European theater, I can't imagine the frustration this will cause in vast parts of the community. While I'm fine with another western Europe theater, after the hint with the morse code, it has better to be the pacific. 2
Danziger Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Did they use a lot of Morse code on the Soviet front?
Cybermat47 Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Isn’t morse code a fairly universal thing, though? 2 2
Feathered_IV Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 It could be swearing, and they just bleeped it all out. 2

To my knowledge, there have not been any announcement regarding North Africa. There has been plenty of announcements regarding NA and 5.0. They will always be in the Cliffs of Dover section of this forum. 1
-332FG-Buddy Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 I hope it's Italy First, I want the Pacific too but I'd rather them flesh out the Western front a bit more for a possible TAW that's not exclusively the eastern front. 1

Moscow local time (UTC/GMT +3). I´m pretty sure either 12:00 or 17:00. That is 1 or 6 hours from now. 1

Yeah it's really cool... but the camouflage and roundels are from 1944, overall Sea Blue with a star & bar which would then make it an SBD-5. Even the roundel between the title letters SBD & 3 is the earlier than Midway roundel with the "meatball" in it. So yes the art work is sound, but it's historically way off. Long while since I looked at it, but iirc some of the roundels used at the battle of Midway were over large for id purposes and known as the "Midway star", white star on a blue circle, no bar & no meatball. And iirc further, this was also done for the battle of the Coral Sea, but these were the "meatball stars". Also the Midway time frame camouflage for the USN was Blue Grey over Light Gull Grey. No doubt there are plenty of USN WWII experts would will confirm this one way or another Edited November 26, 2019 by Pict Spelling, tweaking etc.

dburne Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Yeah same here, downloading now. I think the big announcement is yet to come. Lots of goodness today.
ViKe213 Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Pacific Theater would be awesome.Its time.Enough of the eastern front.
KG_S_Kalle_Kalutz82 Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 For sure, I want all of those Theatres. Italy 1943-1944 would be nice too 1
RavN_Sone Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 No way. Game's being updated all the time, yet we never had a patch teased like that.

J37_Spyboy Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 I believe its the countdown to Pearl Harbour. Full announcement on the anniversary. Great piece of marketing @JVW!
Frogface Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 The plot thickens! What aircraft were in the skies at D-day that we don't already have? Ones that spring to mind would be Typhoon, C47 and Lancaster
J37_Spyboy Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 I could be wrong having seen the D Day Forecast Wiki, still good though!

Utopioneer Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Are you guys sure? I'm getting: "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine"
Frogface Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Honestly I don't even care what we get! Every aircraft and map they make is always outstanding! This is an excellent way to build hype! Getting an English channel map would be cool though! I wanna bomb my house 1 minute ago, Utopioneer said: Are you guys sure? I'm getting: "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine" They've found the next clue!

Danziger Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 So does that mean the announcement will be Sunday now?
303_Bies Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 It's a D-Day. So we are landing, ladies and gentlemen. Maybe not on a carrier deck yet. But still.?
