Persian Gulf Assets

[Northstar98]

Hi everyone,

 

I recently purchased the Persian Gulf map, and what a map! Very impressed and I'm certainly going to have a lot of ideas for this one.

 

However, there is something really missing from the map, and it's the lack of appropriate assets for theatre.

 

I know we've got the HY-2, Rapier FSA and the Scud in the works, but apart from that there's literally nothing else, where there is plenty of potential. Here's a reasonably comprehensive list of ideas for assets, I've added an asterisk for things I consider high priority.

 

I'll start with Iran:

 

Tanks:

• Zulfiqar MBT*
  
• Chieftain/Mobarez MBT*
  
• Safir-74 MBT
  

Artillery:

• HM 16 Mortar* (based on Soltam K6 which is used by the US, Israel and Georgia to name a few)
  
• HM 40 (Soviet D-30)*
  
• Raad-1/2 (Essentially 2S1 and M109 respectively)
  

Coastal Defence:

• Nasr-1/Noor
  

Naval Vessels:

• Alvand Class FFG*
  
• Moudge Class FFG
  
• Houdong Class FAC*
  
• Kaman Class FAC
  
• C-14 Class FAC*
  
• Hengam Class LST*
  
• Bandar Abbas Class AOR
  
• Ol class AOR
  

 

===========================================================

 

Oman:

 

Oman has tonnes of different equipment that would be very much welcomed in DCS across the board.

 

Tanks:

 

All that's needed here is to rework the M60A3* and give it an Omani livery, same for Challenger 2*

 

TDs:

[*]Centauro B1 120mm

AFVs/IFVs/APCs:

• MOWAG Piranha II*
  
• CVR(T) Scorpion*
  
• CVR(T) Spartan*
  
• CVR(T) Sultan
  

AD:

• Oerlikon GDF-007*
  
• Croatale NG*
  
• Javelin MANPADs
  

 

RADARs:

 

• Contraves SkyGuard*
  
• AN/MPQ-64
  

Other:

• CVR(T) Samson
  

Naval:

• Qahir class corvette*
  
• Khareef class corvette*
  
• Dhofar class FAC*
  
• Nasr al Bahr*
  
• Fulk al Salamah amphibious transport
  

 

===========================================================

 

UAE:

 

Tanks:

 

• OF-40 Mk.2*
  
• AMX Leclerc with the right textures.*
  

APCs/A(F)Vs/IFVs:

• BTR-3*
  
• Patria AMV
  
• Oshkosh M-ATV*
  
• Nimr
  
• BAe Caiman
  

 

Naval:

 

Baynunah class corvette

Arialah class OPV*

Ardhana class patrol vessel*

 

 

Just something to think about, nothing at the moment is truly game breaking but it would be nice to get some authenticity to the theatre with regards to assets (especially naval) particularly for Iran and Oman.

 

 

Cheers
