A "blue" and a "red" country - a "no nations mode"

[Limaro]

Hallo ED,

I would like it, if you add a kind of no-nations coalition setup.

Just having Team-Red, and Team Blue (In that context, it would be also even better to have even more neutral colors, like yellow, green, violet,.. and so on.) Such a "no-nation" would have all aircraft types, ground units, and everything else available.

I just believe it would be a good thing, not always being forced to decide, which nations are fighting each other. In DCS, I believe, it's often just a contest. (Personally, I always feel bad making these nation decisions.)

Regards

Personally, I'd love it if in the future, DCS adopts a similar side system as C:MO.

You're able to add, edit, rename and remove sides at will, as well as set global doctrine, weapon release authorisations and skill level for newly formed units (as well as retaining the ability to set these for units individually). 

As for the countries, I'd ditch assigning them to coalitions, and just use the countries as a filter for units (in C:MO there is also a 'none' country to display all units, as well as generic, civilian, insurgents, pirates, rebels etc), all we would need is another drop down menu to determine what side a unit belongs to.

This system allows for much more flexibility and even allows equipment belonging to the same country to be present on multiple opposing sides. If the mood took you, you could make a separate side for each country. This does make the combined joint forces red and blue, the UN and USAF Aggressor countries redundant.

See here for more details.

This is already possibly actually, look for "Combined Task Force Blue" and "Combined Task Force Red" in mission editor. They both have access to every unit in DCS, as well as every skin for them. As far as I know "USAF Agressors" faction is also like that more or less.
