DCS: New free map Mariana Islands!

Direttamente da un leak del forum russo quello che dovrebbe arrivare nella prossima newsletter.
Attendiamo la versione WWII e il Corsair!

Mariana Islands Map Announcement!

Since the release of DCS World, the sole free map has been the Caucasus Map. Although a great map and the recipient of a huge update in DCS World 2.5, we are happy to announce a second, free map for DCS World! For this new map, we want to use our latest map technologies and provide a very different combat environment in a new part of the world. The map must have the following features:

A very large ocean area with a few islands. Ideal for carrier operations.
Islands that are situated such that airfields have natural red, blue, and contested locations.
Home to at least one modern-day USAF base.
Feasible for US, Russia, and China operations in the Pacific.
Take advantage of the Chinese Assets Pack.
Taken as a whole, there is only one natural choice: the Mariana Islands. It will initially be a 400 x 400 km map with the option to expand further in the future. Home to one of the largest USAF air bases in the region, Andersen AFB on Guam serves as an anchor of US forces in the Pacific region, but it is within reach of both Chinese and Russian Pacific forces to the north. The same island chain also served as the backdrop of the World War II battles of Guam, Saipan, and Rota, as well as the carrier vs. carrier Mariana Islands battle.

Doppio rizer con due 3090 OC raffreddate all’azoto liquido per 100 teraflops …a quel punto vedi anche le cagate degli uccelli!

Credo che Leatherneck aspettasse proprio il rilascio della mappa (oltre che l’implementazione del DM nuovo) per arrivare in release…incrociamo le dita…
Se ho capito bene questi continuano a scrivere 2020 per Mariana…quindi direi che perlomeno la versione moderna potremmo sperare di averla o con la patch della prossima settimana (utopia? boh…sperèm) oppure con quella pre natalizia del 23 (che a livello di marketing essendo gratuita sarebbe quello che farei io…il “regalo” di Natale da ED.
Non ci scordiamo che tra i loro piani c’era anche il Mosquito per Natale…ma al momento non si hanno evidenze che accadrà…
