I bet we're getting wooden boats! :D

[Callsign 128]

@tankbuster - are there any more images along with that one?

I nabbed that one from Facebook and it's appeared on Twitter too, but I don't see any other pics.

[Tankbuster 1733]

Note the irregular with a short rifle in the bushes on the right hand side foreground. But it can't be Arma 3 - there isn't a dozen rabbits in the scene.:)

[Callsign 128]

Hadn't even noticed him! Nice one.

Now for 4 pages of nationality speculation!

 

*Edit: Is that Miller? ;)

[Chairborne 2594]

It's a normal FIA rifleman. Case closed.

[AveryTheKitty 2626]

It's Miller. You can tell by the hair.

Still looks like the TAR-21 though doesn't it?

It's the FIA Miller unit, holding, yes, a vanilla TRG-21.

[da12thMonkey 1943]

Yeah, it's definitely Miller in his FIA outfit from The East Wind campaign I_G_Story_SF_Captain_F. Not a new unit

Isn't the pants camo a new one though?

The wrecked boat on the peninsular just beyond the rocky outcrop is one of theirs too.

Nope, regular AAF digital.

Firing from Dragon boat racing V2. The improved FFV!

[AveryTheKitty 2626]

Seeing as they're adding Civilian ships, I bet we'll also see military ships. Hopefully Patrol boats with mounted NEMO Mortars or Railguns! :D

 

Coilgun tanks would be cool too.

i hope the dozer and the digger will be driveable

NEMO Mortar, yes. Electromagnetic Railgun? No. However I wouldn't mind if one of the Fast Strike Vehicles they mentioned was the Flyer. That thing is basically a ULCV with a 30mm Cannon on top. I also suspect various Naval Assets... In an Archipelago for crime out loud.

Auction Menu Build Bunker. presto Bunker Tower.

Isn't there confirmed but cut images of a CSAT Railgun tank floating around. I know of only 3 Strike vehicles. The one you mentioned. The old Light Strike Vehicle and then the Light Strike Vehicle developed in Singapore. Here is hoping for two different models.

Yeah. They cut the rail gun, and I can now see why. Firstly, it won't be in service on vehicles that small... Ever. Even current Destroyers in service don't have the Electrical capacity to run the darned thing. Hehe, the DDG-1000 of course though, was built around the design.

As for the Light/Fast Strike Vehicles... There could be many. In terms of selection, as many designs exist. I can't name them all right now, though. But ULCV's or, Ultra Light Combat Vehicles, also apply to that list.

[mistyronin 1181]

I really hope they'll add an oil platform in the archipelago, it would give a lot of interesting playing situations.

[chortles 263]

Agreed, mistyronin... although even if they don't, Take On Helicopters' oil platform falls under APL-SA for porting purposes, albeit looking like a port.

 

I personally believe that "Light Strike Vehicle" is being used by Bohemia more as a category than a designation to avoid tipping their hand as to what the actual platform is, so we could be looking at a fictional (if derived from/inspired by a real-life) design, seeing as what little glimpse we got of the "VTOL" already suggested such.
