40plus Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 My bet is he's hinting the two Tank Crew collector vehicles that were road signed a while back.

oc2209 Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 7 hours ago, kestrel79 said: My guess is Jason flying to Russia to finalize plans for the next project announcement that is coming later this month. I thought I remember something similar happening before the Normandy announcement and presale. There are two problems with this line of thinking: 1) It has nothing to do with the emphasis on a duet with Glen Campbell (emphasis made by Jason himself, hence it's likely a large part of the riddle). 2) It'd be pretty boring to hype up the pending internal discussions on where the next DLC will be. Just cut to the chase and tease the DLC itself once it's finalized. I'm guessing Jason will put us out of our misery within the week, so it's something that's already been decided.

I can tie the Burma Road to On the Road Again easily enough, but I can't fit the duet with Glen into that equation. The B-26 Marauder sort of fits the road theme (by dint of highwayman being a synonym of marauder), and Glen Campbell sort of fits as a clue because of the Glenn L. Martin production of said B-26. Beyond that, a new plane was hinted at recently. All of that combines into a pretty strong, if not 100% perfect, answer. Every other answer I've seen either fails to connect the road theme, or fails to connect the Glen Campbell theme.

Ribbon Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 Duet, road.....previous DD mentioned TWO tanks/vehicles being already WIP and to be announced soon....a bit too simple riddle for Jason but seems logical, maybe intended part is to guess what two vehicles! So i'll keep my expetations low and wait for B25/26 announcement sometime after

Long ago back in the 80’s, I knew a little 3 year old girl who learned to use her Cabbage Patch doll like a medieval mace against her older brothers. She held it by the feet and would just start swinging. ? 1

US103_Baer Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 Duet could imply two singers (creators) in a single performance ( announcement). Meaning two products to be announced. Reference to the 'Road Again' would suggest one of them being the 2 tanks we know about. Glenn Campbell could imply the Glenn Martin B-26 as the other. Does that mean Willie Nelson is a clue for the tanks? Idk, probably not. I doubt he could find such a perfect set of clues in 1 song. The DD said they are tanks suitable for Kursk, so it rules out a jeep. I know nothing about tanks, maybe others can narrow them down.
AndyJWest Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 Based on my very limited knowledge of US geography (almost entirely down to American Truck Simulator), I think Jason is heading for Reno. Probably going to gamble all the pre-order cash at roulette, to win enough money to recover the IJN Hiryū from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, where he has been reliably informed a complete set of plans for the Aichi D3A and Nakajima B5N can be found in a watertight locker hidden in a broom cupboard. I may well be wrong though... 20 1

Love the rest of the theory, but you're wrong about the geography. He's in the desert in one pic, and in snow in another. Clearly, he's in the Simpson's Springfield. Barring that, I'll try to say something remotely helpful here. The first two shots (Jason and the following shot) are very likely around Vegas. The third shot I can't make out. I tried to zoom into the highway sign, but that only works on TV crime shows. I can tell you he's not driving towards Los Angeles, for whatever that's worth. If he was driving to San Francisco, I would assume he'd cut across California from Vegas along highway 15 and eventually head north via the Barstow/Bakersfield route. That would be more direct than going from Vegas to Reno to Frisco in terms of overall highway quality and flat terrain. If he was going up to Denver, that would mean he crossed Utah, which I assume would have elicited a few more pics from him along that route. Edit update: I checked the snowfall and it appears to rule out my earlier Flagstaff guess. In terms of where snow's fallen recently in any proximity to Vegas, that still leaves the Tahoe area of Nevada or Colorado as possibilities, with the former more likely than the latter.

He's probably a regular there, but not sure how any of it fits with the duet/Glenn/Willie theme. Anyway they have a P-51A, B-25, B-17, V1 and Me. 163. For the Pacific ever-hopefuls PoF have an A6M5 Zeke, Val, Judy, a J2m3 Raiden, SBD Dauntless and TBM Avenger. Think all the road shots are relevant to the destination and the destination is probably a clue. Need someone from that area to help Edited November 3, 2021 by US28_Baer 1
