DShK and Kord as ground based AAA

[Stratos]

Now that we have them mounted on the back of the pick ups, can we please get them as regular ground based AAA as well? Will make them easier to hide and to place them over buildings.

a static AA Dishka would be great. Ideally there would be a "fortified" version with some sandbacks for cover, like it is available for the 23mm guns...

Now, with the Afghanistan map released, an MG emplacement for the Insurgents faction would be really great. It would be strange to place the pickup on a mountain ridge.

Given the prevalence of the Dishka as both light AA and as infantry heavy support weapons. We should have had one years ago.

I know there a few times when I just want a mission with some heavy machine guns forming part of an ambushing force.

Looks like a easy AAA to add, simply cut our that gun and guy from the trucks.

Currenthill mod has that: https://www.currenthill.com/russia

Definitely +1 for machine gun emplacements.

Though as for dedicated AAA units - what about the ZPU series? Namely the ZPU-2 and ZPU-4.

Incredibly prolific systems, which would fit on many of maps and many historical conflicts.

Jupp, sadly mods can never replace ED assets. Because they can't be used in campaigns, generally aren't used on online server, can cause random bugs, can cause crashes.

Requested those as well, nothing came from ED.

I wonder if we could have generic AAA emplacement units with the option to them select a weapon to arm it. This could also help reduce workload going forward as we won't need a new unit with every gun added.

Some years ago there was a nice light AAA mod containing those... sadly it stopped working.

The curious thing is that no modders answered the "call" either. So we miss a lot of very important AAA pieces.

Currenthill has stationary DShK with modern Soviet gunner

Indeed, and I use it on missions, but we still lack the very important family of ZPU guns.
