Important : General Blufor/opfor pack community questions

[dimitriov]

Hi guys. 

 

Along with the FrenchPack, i feel like i lack for targets for my vehicles ^^

 

So here is a poll to orientate me in the possible addition of an "OPFOR/BLUFOR" pack. The era mainly. 

 

The followed nations would be : 

 

- European countries (Spain, Italy, Germany, Poland, and some very specific assets for example from Czechs who use to make nice looking stuff) 50% of the pack

- USSR/Russian Federation (Mainly MBT and IFV) 25-35% of the pack

- USA (Not so much to add)

 

Examples of vehicles for each era : 

 

- Early cold War : BTR-152, T-44, T-62, T-10M, M-47, M551 Sheridan, Leopard1A1/2...

- Late cold War : BTR-60/70, T-64, M1A1-105, Leopard-1A3/4/5, Leopard 2A2 ...

- Modern Era : T-14, M1A2 SEP, Leopard 2A7, Centauro, Ariete....

 

Note, there are vehicles for each nation for each era, above list is purely exhaustive. 

 

 

Question : 

 

On which period would you like me to focus on ? 

 

- Early Cold War : 1950-1970

- Late Cold War : 1970-1991

- Modern era : 1991-2015

 

This pack would only focus on ground assets, with same level of quality than the FrenchPack, and would aim in its first iteration to integrate roughly 10 vehicles, expanded more and more to 25. 

 

Please note : This pack is hypothetic : For now i ask you, and gather intel, if I notice that intel is really too hard to get (not enough photographies for vehicles) then i would not do it. 

 

If you wish to help by providing intel (photos), I don't need for 2 pictures of one vehicle, more likely a library of 150-500 pictures.

Thanks again for you fantastic french pack. 

 

Would love to have your new pack featuring the Modern era.

again thanks for the french pack! for me either late cold war  early modern era would work best for the jets we have at the moment, the Viper was new in service in 91, and the hornet in 89 etc...

Place the M551 Sheridan in the Late Cold War Era.  It was used in Operation Just Cause and Operation Desert Shield/Storm in the 1989-1991 time frame.  It is the ideal vehicle for airland transport and heavy equipment airdrop by the Anubis C-130J Hercules.  It was also used at the Fort Irwin National Training Center West as a Soviet Era OPFOR armored vehicle simulator.

Backy wants his Sheridan at all cost 

[Rudel_chw]

Mmm ... seems I'm the only one that wants early Cold War

[Worg]

 voted for modern warfare but it's true that the cold war would be smarter given the DCS modules.
And you Dimitriov, which year interests you the most?

Late cold war

What we desperately need is people and more diverse civilian vehicles!

Especially a mix of the same/similar models for Insurgents and civilians that come ARMED and UNARMED(!).

This together with the neutral faction would enable the creation of realistic COunterINsurgency scenarios, where Rules Of Engagement are a real factor, instead of the usual, if it moves, kill it and general lack of civilians that require thorough decision making and reducing potential risk to non-combatants.

-Small 90ies 4x4 "Technical" armed with Dshka/.50 Cal

- Small 90ies 4x4 Pick-up truck UNARMED

-motorbike with armed driver/passenger (AK47/RPG)

-motorbike with unarmed driver/passenger 

- more civilian cars, minibuses, etc.

-different models of armed insurgents. Really cool would be models like an IED laying team or a spotter with binoculars and phone/radio... Get creative

-different similar models of UNARMED civilians (so it does matter if people are carrying weapons or not!)

-Dshka on tripod, Milan ATGM, heavy MG for Insurgents, improvised rocket launchers

-typical pirate skiffs (sleek, fast motorboats from wood) with a dozen armed insurgents

-same/similar skiffs as harmless fishingboats

-barricades and improvised roadblocks

...then we only need a "Mali" map.

Maybe you can get it right this time ...

One thing I'd like to see: More ships, specifically non-US ships

[kseremak]

Cold War tanks, APCs, ships would be great.

[STS.Chunky]

I would love to see a light and fast recon vehicle and an infantry with a Javelin. I think it would be pretty cool to see those launches from above! Thx for your work!
