=gRiJ=Roman- Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Does anyone recall when did Jason say that the new expansion would be announced? I can hardly wait!!!
AEthelraedUnraed Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 I half-expected Jason would post a Happy New Year message in his Officers' Room, but alas.... Ah well, there's still time I suppose...
Eisenfaustus Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 I guess somewhere around the release of BoN… So summer maybe?
Avimimus Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 I'm hoping the announcement is delayed so we can engage in rampant speculation. 1 17 3
ShamrockOneFive Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 It feels too soon for an announcement but I guess we'll see! 2
Avimimus Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 True. They undoubtedly have plans but it'd make sense to keep attention on BoN and wait until it they are closer to releasing the first content for any future module before making the announcement/pre-order sale. What might be more plausible is an announcement of the plane list for the already announced Flying Circus II... and possibly something for Tank Crew?
Missionbug Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 With Covid affecting so many things I would not expect anything soon on the next installment of the series, most likely next up will be any already announced collector stuff that has still to be opened up to pre-order to try and get the cash in while they struggle on with B.O.N. I think it fair to say most of us want to know where the series goes next, we already know F.C. will go to three so far, maybe next up might be a tank module rather than one for WWII aircraft due to the difficult choices they have to sift through to get the one most will buy into. I hate the wait. Take care and be safe. Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
Jade_Monkey Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Looking at BoBP --> BoN announcements, they announced the new theatre AFTER Bodenplatte was officially released: Bodenplatte completion was November 7th 2019 with patch 4.001 Normandy announcement happened on November 24th, 2019 It doesn't mean this time will be the same, but it's a good starting point for speculation. 1 2

It's also a posibility. We have to take into account too that BON might be their largest project yet, so it could be a little before the launch. I excpect the Annoucement of the new expansion after Spring 2022
dburne Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 I would start looking for an announcement on what is next after the official release of BON.
purK Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 What we want: Pacific What we get: Battle of Berlin Maybe not, just a guess.. really anything new is always exciting. ? 4 3

=621=Samikatz Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 First place for me is the Med (Op Husky?) followed by end-war Soviets, but I am going to be honest and just say I am a terrible nerd and will buy whatever the hell they announce anyway because more planes = better 5

But eastern front deserves to be finished as well 2
Enceladus828 Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Q3 2022 is my estimate of when BoN will be fully released, so the announcement of the next installment would be sometime shortly after that.

CountZero Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) il save you few months of wait, we get Battle of Poland with bf-109g10, fw-190a9, ta-152h, ju87d5, he-111h20 vs yak-3, la-7, p-39q, il-2 and pe-2 1944 models, and nice map betwen berlin and warsaw. Probably anouncment on may 9th . Edited January 3, 2022 by CountZero 3 2 4

I'd also swap out the Ta-152H for the He-162... and the Pe-2 for a Tu-2... and replace something with a late-war Yak-9 but otherwise - it looks pretty good (and yes, I want the Ju-188 the most).

Good call on the Tu-2 - but I‘d prefer 152 over the 162 because… well… Historical significance? ? Kidding - I just love the glideresque vibe of the 152 ^^ always have

JG300_Egon Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 I really hope we get something a bit refreshing. Like early war (France, BoB) in Europe or a new theater something in south of the mediterranee (Tunisia, Malta). I hope also with the large panel of aircraft we already have, they subcontract some maps like Norway (the main team focusing on the aircraft missing). 4
percydanvers Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) 3 hours ago, Swing said: I dream about a Battle of France 1940...But i am alone... Not at all. It would be a really interesting change of pace to see some early war things. 1 minute ago, JG300_Egon said: I really hope we get something a bit refreshing.

I hope also with the large panel of aircraft we already have, they subcontract some maps like Norway (the main team focusing on the aircraft missing). I would love Tunisia/Sicily. Although there isn't a very easy way to fit those terrains into something that would work neatly as a Great Battles map, it's still just such an interesting air campaign. It would be a fun way to include the A-36 Apache in the sim. I also think late war Eastern Front would be more interesting than most people might think. I was reading somewhere that the Luftwaffe threw just about everything they still had at trying to slow the Red Army down from January to May '45, and actually achieved some surprising success, so it wouldn't be a boring cakewalk for the allied fliers. It'd also finally round off some of the remain gaps in planeset like the Yak-3, 109 G-10, IL-10 etc. Maybe even a TA-152 for fun. Edited January 3, 2022 by percydanvers 1
Voyager Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Can't recall if I'd asked or not, but if a Battle of Berlin map could cover both the Eastern and Western front zones that could be a very nice way to wrap up the Eastern front war while keeping momentum in the Western front stuff. I also suspect we will see an Italian campaign or campaign series at some point. From what I've been able to find, the Battle of the Mediterranean and the Italian campaigns ended up being largely separate, so having Great Battles follow the invasion of Italy, while the Cliffs of Dover focuses on the wider Mediterranean would be a clean division of labor. 1

Now, alternate history-wise... if that BMW engine had a couple months less development issues... the He-162 could've been much more noticeable. But, really, I just find the combination of technical innovation and desperation fascinating - consumer grade construction using semi-skilled labour but with experimental aerodynamics? It encapsulates a lot. 1 1

What we want: Battle for Malta.... My guess is that unless the announcement is Tank Crew 2 we will have to wait until BoN and/or FC2 are complete.
FlyingH Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 I guess we´ll have to wait 2 (Oleg) weeks at least!
Denum Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 MALTA! MALTA! MALTA! MALTA! The dev team trying to finish Normandy and the rest of the wish list as we get eager for the next expansion 2 1
Avimimus Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Now that you mention it - What would make sense would be to announce the plans for Desert Wings while BoN is being finished! 1
354thFG_Panda_ Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 I whatever it is, I hope it has a Bf-109G10... 2 2

=gRiJ=Roman- Posted January 3, 2022 Author Posted January 3, 2022 Can anyone post the road map of what is left in BON? I remember there was one with the order of the realases and dates. What's left?
Jason_Williams Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Guys, Please stop. We're focused on finishing BON. Much left to complete. I will announce new expansion when I know exactly what we will do. There is a big internal process we go through to get to the point of announcement. I'm pretty sure I know what I want to do, but there is research that is needed for us to get there. If not that, then there are other alternatives. Jason 6 15 1
