Some valuable suggestions here, I would particularly point out BTR-60, T-62, BTR-152, AMX-13 and IFA trucks since they are relevant not only to the East Germany map, but for building scenarios on other maps too (Iraq used IFA trucks, Israel and Argentina used AMX-13, Syria and Egypt had T-62s, BTR-60 were everywhere, etc). I also agree that we should prioritize covering "blind spots" in units, such as: 1. We still don't have SA-4 Krug, used by both Soviets and GDR 2. Cold War era static AAA we have is pretty much limited to ZU-23-2 and S-60. What we can have: - FK20-2 (Rheinmetall Mk 20 Rh-202 autocannon used in anti-air role; can be static or mounted on Unimog truck; there is also two-barrel variant) - M167 VADS - of course, proper L70 Bofors as used by Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, France, UK and many other countries during the Cold War (this one would probably be the easiest to implement since its similar to the WW2 L60 version we have now) - ZPU-4 to give some variety to Redfor, once again used all over the world (including potential Vietnam scenarios) 3. Since we don't have a lot Bluefor SAMs, Crotale? We already have HQ-7 which is very similar. In French service, these were used for airfield defense behind the lines, but as we could (potentially) have French airfields, why not? It is also used by the Gulf states (Saudi Arabia, UAE) which makes it relevant for other scenarios as well.

Hello, I've been enjoying the map but was surprised, after checking the FAQ, to see that two significant IQAF bases are not mentioned—H1 and Al Fathah. H1 Air Base, which can clearly be seen in-game right now in its rightful place (33°48′51″N 41°26′07″E), played a significant role in Desert Storm and the 2003 invasion. During Desert Storm, H1 was one of the hubs for Iraqi SCUDs, and during the 2003 invasion, it was captured by the Coalition within the first 8 days of the war and used as a forward operations base. It was subsequently abandoned but remained in a usable state until it was bombed and its runways destroyed during Operation Inherent Resolve. Al Fathah Air Base in Kirkuk Governorate (also visible on the map, 35°08′02″N 043°43′22″E) was one of the main Iraqi Air Force bases, a so-called "super base" that included underground facilities. I am unsure about its involvement in the Iran-Iraq War and Desert Storm, but it was heavily targeted during the 2003 invasion and turned out to be the site of the largest weapons and ammunition cache found during the war. It was demolished sometime afterward. Given that both bases lost their relevance after 2003, there may be an opportunity to add them in their "pristine" 1980s condition (at least the H1), providing some authentic airbases for fans of the Iran-Iraq War and Desert Storm.

You are correct, just checked it myself. Its not Normandy 2 but Persian Gulf of extra space then, still isn't right.

I am a bit confused, on the store page the map is advertised as being 75.35GB but its 120GB when downloaded. Thats entire Normandy 2 map of extra space.
