Ground Units suggestions to be added.

[BuxtonHouse]

I often spend most of my time making missions and I would just like to make suggestions for units to be added.

Artillery:

Australia, Canada, Colombia, India, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, and the United States: M777 Howitzer 155mm (Modern 2000-present)

________________________________________________________________________________

Soviet Russia/Russia, and many many other countries from South Africa to Asia, Vietnam war to current: M46 130mm (1951-Present):

________________________________________________________________________________

United States, South and North America, Middle Eastern and South Eastern Countries, used in Vietnam war to present conflicts M114 155mm  (1942-present):

_________________________________________________________________________________

NOTE: In order to make them mobile, some sort of animation will be needed where a truck could hitch up an artillery piece and tow it, this would also make for more interesting scenarios for convoys but as a start can do without mobility

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ground launch ATGM (Stationary Units):

United States and many others, BGM-71 TOW, from Vietnam War to present (1970-present):

_________________________________________________________________________________

Soviet Russia and many others, 9K111 Fagot, from Vietnam War to present (1970-present):

Note: It would be interesting to have troops able to deploy these ATGM Launchers in the field after getting to their destination 

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Yes this is a game/sim for aircraft, but I reckon most players spend their time doing air to ground then any other in DCS, more cold war aircraft are coming out and these units I suggested I tried to aim for a cold war setting to add life the those dates.

In Mission Editor for the Towed Artillery and ATGM Launchers, it would be great to have a box to tick to weather or not have a semi circle wall of sandbags as a defence. Picture below with the Artillery or ATGM firing from behind it.

For what its worth, here are some MODs to cover some of those. Otherwise I agree, more love given to simulating the overall war. ED has shown some cool infantry animations that make me think this is something that will be getting some overhaul eventually. In the meantime, with MT I have been having fun pushing the system to the limit with ground war scenarios.

Not only should we have everything suggested but I would love to see more types of infantry

In the World War II pack we need 

submachine gunners

light machine gunners

heavy machine guns on tripods

and STG-44s

rifle grenades 

 ----------------------

In the modern we need the following classes

snipers/ designated marksmen

everyone needs a medium machine gunner (M-60, RPK)

light machine gun

grenadiers 

Then we need specific weapons to cover the whole era

Personally it might complicated things for an Aircraft sim game, I do think the infy need redone abit because there's no Western rocket launcher like the LAW, there's no RPK like you said

Snipers i don't see a need but definitely another look at how infy works ingame

User Currenthill makes an amazing asset pack that has everything for the Modern side of things you mentioned.

I lumped snipers and designated marksmen together as I don't think there is that much of a difference as far as DCS is concerned and I figure that if we get some battle rifles like the M14 for mid-cold war scenarios that is how they will get used in later scenarios. We've needed the infantry overhaul for a while

This would be awesome :). Hopefully, ground warfare becomes more alive with the new Dynamic campaign and I honestly don't mind paying to upgrade my Combined if they ever do that, like with the BS3 and A-10 C2.
