Does anybody know what Marshall mode is going to be exactly?

 

There was a development update on it a while ago. It basically is a multiplayer only mode where one person gives orders instead of flying themselves. That seems to basically be it.

 

Here we go - dev diary #135 has some information (now out of date):

Im thinking upgraded cockpit textures, going by the mod section of this forum

I think you are right and that would be great news!

[Field-Ops]

First thing I thought was those are nice cockpit textures. I dont remember them being that crisp. So thats my guess for the secret feature

I'm very excited for the Tiffy and AA trucks as well

“Maybe better clouds (and skydome)”  is something that Jason did wrote down in his communication. While I do hope his “improvements“ is also give an better optimized clouds, to decrease the GPU load.

Interesting update. Love the little tease below. In the first screenshot of the I-16, it looks like a bridge that runs between two embankments instead of having a ramp running up to the bridge. I'm not sure I've run across a bridge like that before.

 

"In addition to this, we're always glad to have more people improving the project and one can spot a result of the new collaboration on these screenshots. We won't disclose all the details of the coming surprise right now but we're sure you won't be disappointed."

 

Were there barrage balloons before in the game? I see some suspicious objects in the sky above the clouds...

Hmm...instead of Moscow could that be Leningrad? => Karelian map? ...or just wishful thinking.

I have a feeling it will be this.

Everything seems to be coming along nicely. You now have my attention as I am interested to know the details of this new cooperation between 1C and a community modder.

The work on Normandy is going well and soon we'll be able to show you the screenshots of the unique buildings and ground vehicles being developed especially for it.

The bunkers, that's for sure but will we also see German radar stations ? ?

Yes, there are barrage balloons over Moscow already.

Happy new Year 2021 to all...

Mhm. Flak Trucks and the Typhoon-- the two thing that I am most eagerly anticipating.

 

This might be a stupid question, but has anything been said about modular variants of the flak trucks? I think it would be great to have a mod to remove the gun and make them into flatbeds. and the Gaz could have alternate guns like the Dshk and/or the 4 maxim guns.

Higher res cockpits is my guess.

Wow, that was an unexpected DD. You guys are too much. I would suggest no more DD’s until July to keep the excitement level to a manageable level.

Looking forward to the Typhoon !  Thanks to all those who are working on this aircraft.

Great stuff, thanks for the update. Can't wait for the AA vehicles to arrive, and hope there are more collector vehicles in the works.
