Greece as faction in DCS World

[karambiatos]

i doubt ed will get on this in the foreseeable future.

[DiCE81]

Its a great idea to have Greece in DCS WORLD. And yes its true that having greece in the game, the company will make an excelant marketing move to people that love simulation in greece. Yes its true that greek people that are in simulation communities in greece the dont just like simulation they really LOVE simulation. And if u think that greece doesnt have money....you are just wrong cauae we always keep somerhing on the side for a good simulation to buy it.

LockOn Greece is one of the largest communities in Greece starting with the first Lock On and most people started with early Flanker series. We also have a mod in FC2 for greek markings aircrafts plus a fantastic work from a member of our community to construct a hellenic a-7e!!!

I want to thanks all the people for supporting this idea. And i hope people from the company to see this post and most of the members of the forum to read all these we wrote here.

Like i said a F-16 will bring all the countries with it.. Shame it's not a popular plane around here.

[TIGER]

I believe that the F-16 will be the last one. :/

Besides they focus on twin engine staff.

You can create a mod with Greece or any other country in the world.

Just have a look how pathetic the F-16 model in DCS is.Frankly a mod is not worth with that shape..

I like and support the idea!:thumbup:

 

Also it would be nice to leave politics off!

There's somewhere a nice F-16 model. The virtual thunderbirds use a good one IIRC. But I'm not talking about an F-16 mod. I'm talking about a country mod. It's possible to create and add any country AFAIK.

Good to see this thread !

I agree, F16 and Eastern Mediterranean will attract more people to DCS. :thumbup:

If i may ask: what are you planning to do with a non-flyable country mod?

I too would to have Greece mod as i love the blue camo on viper but well if man can't fly the F-16 i think it's quite useless to waste your time to create it.

I hope you see my point here.

Since we touched the subject of Greece, it'd be doubly awesome to have ITALY added to the game too. In fact, I never really understood why wasn't it modelled, considering that it has always been a large contributor in NATO's latest conflicts.

 

Besides the so-far unmodelled Typhoon, they fly a fair number of Tornados, and have operated 34 F-16s until May 2012. Also, they operate a number of AMX attack aircraft, which would come very handy in the theatre DCS simulates (a light, sturdy subsonic day/night fighter with low IR signature and RCS, built-in ECM, nose-mounted M61 gun, two wingtip rails plus five hardpoints that can carry 3,800kg worth of missiles, general purpose bombs, laser guided bombs and rockets - and as a bonus, the Italian version has a built-in APU, so name a street and it becomes an airbase. Yes, I'm trying to sell this idea. But it's because that tiny mofo can be your worst nightmare, as proven by exercises). The Navy has a carrier and 16 Harriers.

 

In terms of helicopters, besides the usual list of utility regulars (Sea King, Twin Huey, etc etc), the Army currently operates 24 Chinooks and the almighty babe Mangusta, which has already been on holiday to Afghanistan and Iraq.

 

Greece would also be a fantastic addition and I'd love to see it as well, but if you're bringing Greece into the Caucaus, for Bitching Betty's sake, take Italy with you - they're one of the most active NATO members and have been behind all recent joint operations you can name.

 

Pretty please? :D

First i will start from the DCS ROAD MAP of what the assosiates are making.

From Indeterminate: F-86F. F-16C blk30/32/50/52+/Adv. MilMI-24(CYPRUS)

..

I'm quite interested in that but it's the first time I read it. May I ask you what are your sources?

 

EDIT: I've re checked the 'unofficial list' and, as the official one, it is said that the modules to come are:

F-15C (in progress)

F-18C (in progress)

FW-190D-9 (in progress)

Su-27SM (in progress)

Mil Mi-8MTv2 (in progress)

F-86F,

MiG-15Bis,

MiG-21Bis (in progress)

Hawk (in progress)

Mi-8,

Mi-24,

OH-58,

AH-1G,

 

EDIT 2:book:: Yes, F-16C under 'Indeterminate' status.:doh:

Greece???

 

In your deepest imagination of global conflicts, can anyone outside of greece, actually name anytime Greece came into your imagination or planning ever???

 

Also, in what environment would any of the Greece supporters consider it to be a meaningfull simulation.

 

Outside of a DCS invasion of Greece, i just cant see the point.

 

Nothing political, just responding to the thread with my opinion, Greece as a faction in DCS - about as pointless as t**s on a nun.

Why not? Nowadays may be because of economical reasons may be political they are not involved any of the NATO operations but they can be in DCS as the conflict area is their neighborhood.There's nothing to discuss about the logic of this request.

hey buddy

i suggest to start read the whole thread from the beggining

you will get your answers

with what you wrote:

F-86F is greek and also greece had acrobatic team with this type.

F-15C if and only if USA will give them from reserves. There is an official proposition to hellenic goverment.

Mi24 hind that already are in service in Cyprus.

Conflicts that greece participated after world war 2:

 

Korean war under the flag of UN

Cyprus conflict invasion of Turkey

Kossovo war as KFOR

Afghanistan war under the flag of UN

Lybia war assisting NATO with F-16frigates and Emb-145H AWACS plus providing ammunition to countries that took part on the conflict when they run out from ammo.(unexeptable for othe European countries that took part on that conflict and didnt had ammos after less a week.)

 

In all my post i speak with facts and to prove that what i say is true.

Also i suggest to look in wikipedia about hellenic armed forces to see.

Hey Antonio, there is nothing to prove about. People all over the world that are more specialized on matters, know about Hellas war machine and NATO performance rewards. Others not specialized think that economical crissis cut outs impact Hellenic Army on operational matters also. This is not the case or what we are doing here.

 

Now back on the thread, I belive that Hellas,Turkey,and Italy could be a good scenario, but I think this makes a very big territory for a map scenario which may lead to software engine resourse and map detail problems. Not to mention that parts of Albania,FYROM and Bulgaria have to be included on map.

 

Generally it has been proven by community that F16 and Aegean scenario on Falcon is a very attractive case.

[Lucas_From_Hell]

sungsam, I don't think we'd have to implement those regions at all to be honest. For a good example, we have Ukraine modeled but Crimea is long gone (though I really do miss having it modeled).

 

I believe both Greek and Italian armed forces (not just air forces) could be a fantastic addition to the Caucasus scenario we have there - after all, we already have the UK (limitedly model though), France and Germany (even bloody Israel's there), I don't see any reason why Italy and Greece shouldn't be there, especially considering their history within NATO :)

[Mr_Burns]

Look I was only trolling for bites!

 

I have been to the Greek islands and I have to say, there were some true Gentlemen who made room on the public transport for my pregnant wife, something that didnt happen in the UK or here is Australia.

 

(My wife isnt always pregnant every time we go abroad)

 

I dont see why you couldnt have any faction, surely its just a mod and with 3rd party addons if someone paid and made a Hellenic F-16 then surely DCS would have to include them?

 

Anyway, you have Arma 3, stop taking over the virtual world.

The English didn't come from Greece they evolved from beer, the Welsh from sheep and the Scots just magically appeared when someone mentioned beer and sheep.

 

 

LOL !!! just love this humour level !

[TIGER]

I just added a poll about this subject to have Hellas as country playable or not, in DCSWorld.
