Mercenary faction (neutral)

[carss]

So I was thinking, just like how we have an insurgents faction, can we also have a mercenary faction?

 

This can be somewhat similar to the USAF aggressors, wherein they have almost all aircraft and weapons but can can be unmarked yet band new, or they can have almost any kind of pain scheme with no markings of any country?

That would be a really great feature. I was looking at the Next Russian fixed wing thread and I realized that we will probably get a DCS level Su-27S and some variant of the Mig-29, one of these days. For the Su-27S and Mig-29, a new Second Congo War map would be a really good idea, since those planes, and lot of the planes we have or will have, were featured in that massive war. In addition, there were mercenary pilots. Your proposed feature would be perfect on such a map.

What is much more needed, is a real NEUTRAL faction, as in "not attacked by either AI faction and usable for triggers and conditions" that could represent Civilians, Peace-Keeping Troops, or other non-combatants.

 

A mercenary faction, as in armed troops that just have multiple country's weapons is not too difficult, and can already be scripted easily by spawning any object, vehicle etc. for any faction (red or blue) or country.

Yes, that sounds like a very sensible faction to have. That would make positively identifying what you are shooting at all the more important and it would be really great to also simulate being a neutral party, like civilians, peace keepers, or other sorts of non-combatants. Great idea, Shagrat! :thumbup: MJ

This reminds, there would be useful to have UN skins (and other similar) for various units: ground units especially but helos too.

 

Some have already but not all of them (unless added since I've last looked).

For aircraft they don't need to have any FC3 planes, just maybe all the third party addons might just do.
