BI Developer's Blog: An interesting new entry

[Cultivator 0]

If you compare the clothes & equipment of these guys which are shown in the Dev-Blog with the guys from this BI-Services ... PIC

:D

[Lonestar 11]

They just added one character. :smile:

It is a MD5 hash.

Congratulation to all the participants! :smile:

So, we are looking at an MD520N Helicopter then?

[Varanon 892]

Ok, they added a character, which makes it match an md5 sum

md5 ? md 520 ?

Gah, the pain... can't wait

[Alwarren 2765]

Hm, MD5's are just a hash, nothing you can reproduce any data out of. I wonder, though...

MD5

MD520

:confused:

I don't know.

They surely want to tell us something with this sum.

MD5 and MD 520 do look similar.

Found the exact one from the smiley face in fact. :)

Hmmm....MD5 hash with an added character, assuming the last character was added which is a "b" which is the second letter in alphabet...

md52

:EDITH:

tbh, if it's "just" a MD520 i would be dissapointed as it adds nothing unique to the game as with the AH6 we already have a very similar chopper. I hope there is more...

[Rough Knight 9]

Anything is better than nothing IMHO...we will soon see.

Website for that exact helicopter. Sorry if old.

[roberthammer 582]

We will see tomorrow - maybe it will be a patch 1.59 and bonus will be MD520 :p

Hopefully a bonus Seatle :-D

Sounds likely. Although I was kind of hoping for more :D

That's what I was thinking, an EW styled patch for the grateful BIS customers/supporters.

[rexehuk 16]

Running attack on the MD5 as we speak... Who know's if it will be successful ;).

[Rough Knight 9]

I can't wait for this patch. It will be nice to get all the fixes up until now implemented onto most of the MP servers out there.

In australia it seems there are about 4 different versions of the game being used. It is hard to manage sometimes. Most of the popular servers are 1.57 it must be said though.

Bring on 1.59

[liquidpinky 11]

My hat's off to the BIS team though, they go to some lenght to bring us our toys.

[Mr. Charles 22]

too bad they are just hovering 3 meters in the air :P

[Big Dawg KS 6]

Bring on 1.59

Well, with the next patch we should now be able to use AI aircraft with carriers:

CIT #17735

So additional aircraft-related enhancements seems very plausible.

Red is the standard color on the BI page, blue one is changed, I assume on purpose, to #1b57b1.

Sure hope it's either an expansion pack, or it's opfor related content. Don't need anything else being added to bluefor :)
