Ground Asset Models Request.

[Dscross]

One of the many things I struggle with when making missions is a general lack of historical units from Israel, in addition to skins to existing vehicles such as halftracks. Considering the inclusion of the Northern part of the State of Israel exists in the sim, and assets like the Mig-21, Mi-8, UH-1, Ah64, and the forthcoming F-4 Phantom (legend has it...), I would like to request some new assets, or at the very least, some IDF skins for things like halftracks and M4 Shermans, and M60's. 

However, and this is my opinion, there are a couple weapons which need to be modeled. There is no model for the ground versions of the hispano 20mm cannon in game, at least that I know of. Furthermore, how many 20mm Oerlikon guns were make? During the Falkland's conflict, both sides used the 20mm Oerlikon (? sorry about spelling, never could spell that one...)  Auto cannon. Hopefully this is something that ED has taken into account with the rumor of a south Atlantic map. So, here's an image of a vehicle that I personally as a mission maker would find a lot of use for in cold war era settings, like 1973 War, 6-day war, Falklands war, Vietnam, 1st Gulf war even, if I'm being honest. 

And finally, there is the ground based 35mm. the twin 35mm (same guns as mounted on the Gepard already in game...) is used in large numbers by a number of nations. Iran deploys very large numbers of the 35mm guns, and mounting foundations for the guns can be seen in sat images of important sites around Iran. The 35mm was heavily used during the Iran-Iraq war. Currently in mission making, I use a Gepard as a replacement, but I don't like to, as these are towed guns and such. You get it. 

Thanks, I know you get requests for more, more, more al the time. I hope ED will consider this. 

See you in the skies.
