Hawkeye_UK Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 ED you have released the latest map yet why can Afghanistan not actually be chosen as a country to add to a coalition? Also whilst we are discussing this topic i'm quite unsure how all these years later we are still awaiting New Zealand? I'm not going to list out here all the significant contributions they have made over the years in real terms, but suffice to say they should have been included in a selectable country as part of the coalition be it on your WW2 maps through to modern day.

Hawkeye_UK Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 10 minutes ago, Rudel_chw said: Yes please, please ... it's been on wish list for a long time now: 4 years is not long enough for a request it seems? I would add this is not the only request Rudel as i recollect making a comment on another thread some years ago. Insulting really. Whilst this is only a game, you only have to have a walk around a commonwealth war grave to see the sacrifice and contribution New Zealand has made, be it in WW2 or more recent conflicts. I find it hard to believe Afghanistan is not a selectable country given we now have a map all about it or New Zealand (Still) are not a coalition partner especially given the latter where at the tip of the spear for some operation's in this theatre. I think an answer 4 years on why this very simple request hasn't been expedited is just. 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DCS & BMS F4E | F14B | AV-8B | F15E | F18C | F16C | F5 | F86 | A10C | JF17 | Viggen |Mirage 2000 | F1 | L-39 | C101 | Mig15 | Mig21 | Mig29 | SU27 | SU33 | F15C | AH64 | MI8 | Mi24 | Huey | KA50 | Gazelle | P47 | P51 | BF109 | FW190A/D | Spitfire | Mossie | CA | Persian Gulf | Nevada | Normandy | Channel | Syria | South Atlantic | Sinai | Kola Liquid Cooled ROG 690 13700K @ 5.9Ghz | RTX3090 FTW Ultra | 64GB DDR4 3600 MHz | 2x2TB SSD m2 Samsung 980/990 | Pimax Crystal/Reverb G2 | MFG Crosswinds | Virpil T50/CM3 | Winwing & Cougar MFD's | Buddyfox UFC | Winwing TOP & CP | Jetseat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelPig Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 The "4 years" isn't really an argument in this case. Cause before an Afghanistan map existed, there was just no need for Afghanistan as a faction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's what is a part of what defines the "need". I don't say it would have been useless before or something like that. But for Ed there was just no urge to add this faction with no Afghanistan map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to read the context, 4 years relates to New Zealand - certainly that should be in the game, not even worth debating, only a clown would! 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DCS & BMS F4E | F14B | AV-8B | F15E | F18C | F16C | F5 | F86 | A10C | JF17 | Viggen |Mirage 2000 | F1 | L-39 | C101 | Mig15 | Mig21 | Mig29 | SU27 | SU33 | F15C | AH64 | MI8 | Mi24 | Huey | KA50 | Gazelle | P47 | P51 | BF109 | FW190A/D | Spitfire | Mossie | CA | Persian Gulf | Nevada | Normandy | Channel | Syria | South Atlantic | Sinai | Kola Liquid Cooled ROG 690 13700K @ 5.9Ghz | RTX3090 FTW Ultra | 64GB DDR4 3600 MHz | 2x2TB SSD m2 Samsung 980/990 | Pimax Crystal/Reverb G2 | MFG Crosswinds | Virpil T50/CM3 | Winwing & Cougar MFD's | Buddyfox UFC | Winwing TOP & CP | Jetseat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rongor Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Adding a country should be as easy to accomplish (by ED!) as adding a text line into a list and adding a little flag image file. Adding the entire list of global countries which ever existed since the dawn of flight and maybe a dozen fictional ones on top should be achievable by this month's intern during an afternoon at the office, maybe two for preparing the flag images. If its not that simple to do, then the whole implementation is coded unnecessarily complicated in the first place and should have been changed a long time ago. Same for navaids and com frequencies, possibly more stuff I just can't recall right now. Things like these make you wonder why sometimes such trivial items have to rest in ED's backlog for so long. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on both please @BIGNEWYor @NineLine Neither Afganistan nor New Zealand assets are available in game. If we take some Soviet assets and put them into the Afghanistan faction, or even make certain US assets available to the Afghanista, we still have no skins for those. Therefore its not ED priority to make it happen, that is why long time ago they introduced Joint blue forces and joint red forces as well as Insurgents. Afghanistan for PLAYER makes no sense, for AI, how will it differ from current red forces / Insurgents / blue forces ?

Actually it is not as easy as you seem to believe .. in addition to the flag, images for the officer ranks, medals and some squadrons are also needed, not to mention the lines needed for the AI Units that the country can use (and the bit of research needed to select which units are realistic for that country). But I agree that it is not something complex, in fact there is a User Mod that accomplishes this, but of course it is not Multiplayer compliant: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3321135/ 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a mix of said western and Soviet assets available. Or even do a fictional mission now, where they have their troops better reorganized. Counter-insurgentcy missions playing the Afghan Armed Forces in 2025... why not? Definitely an interesting setting.
