SuperRat: so, how do you intend to release this? In one major package or several smaller ones like PRACS?

[Vilman 10]

And when ? When ? WHEN ??? :D

+1 for major package

[R0adki11 3945]

Personally i hope its several small packages, small packages are much easier to release in my opinion especially for a small team

[tom3kb 15]

I think its better in one package and maybe in future new staff/bug fixes in update/patch v1 v2

As much i can see thats a good idea, as an addon maker myself a huge is a lot of work to do. I was going to do that with my own addons, and found different packs the way to go.

@R0adki11

I think that my idea is better for players [all files in 1 package you dont have download nothing else, you have patch for all addons in 1pack, not for example patch for tanks next for planes etc] but i understand that for addonmaker few little packs is better solution :)

[gossamersolid 155]

I think an initial release of 1 file is great, but then patches or future additions can be added in seperate files.

There is also one question. Campagin? I think that it would be great to have a campagin whit Muslim's,Croat's and Serb's so no one would be discriminated xD

You listed the three sides as Muslims, Croats and Serbs? Ummm I'm pretty sure there were non-muslim Bosnians that faught lol.

That's like saying WW2 was Lutherins vs the Soviets and Allies.

[NYX87 10]

Campaign would take a long time to complete, at least one that will be of kick-ass quality. I think it will be up to the comunity to panticipate in creatng a good campaign. :)

Maybe a joint effort :)

@GossammerSolid: There WERE non Bosnian muslims fighting, correct! There were also Russians, Greeks, Romanians.. who fought for the Serbs, there WERE also foreign mercenaries such as British, Germans.. who fought for Croatians...

I know few people that wenn downlod mod with no missions they delate him fast from hdd. Not all new players can make missinos and dont wont wait few months for someone to make 1 or 2 missions. I make missions from long time and for me its not a big problem. But i understand those guys, and personaly i like to mods with campaigns.

So i have a sugestion if you dont have time or people and you cant do campaign. You can make a mission pack for sp and mp. Making 10-15 basic sp missions dont take to much time i know this from personal expirience :)

I waiting for this mod, good luck in your work :)

[Frenki 21]

When i said Muslim's i was thinking on Bosnian Muslims becouse Serbs from Bosnia are ussualy called Bosnians.:D

I Would like to help whit campagin or to make a few missions whit Serbs.

[superrat 10]

Great work, I've searched many games looking for something related to our bloody conflict, just some questions, will your focus be realism or balance, because the battles and the forces were rarely balanced, one side usually had tanks, the other didn't, one had air support the other didn't etc.. Also any plans on militia and para-military formations? I haven't really done any modding but would like to help in any way possible.

[gossamersolid 155]

I'm definetly looking forward to the release when it's done. I loved the Yugo mod in OFP, I'll definetly enjoy this one too.

the weaponary for all side will be represented from 92-95 era by the end of war all side had tanks , arty e.t.c some more some less but point is if that side had it the faction in game will have it

here's m1a2 that i've been workin on life issues keep slowing me down it's about 80% done real life issues keep comin it the way:)

[esco7800 10]

nice m1a2

[icebreakr 3100]

Can't wait to try out your units on my new upcoming map ;)

[NYX87 10]

Nice, is this a new model or are you upgrading the one shown earlier? :)

Oh I almost forgot, will you add M18 "Hellcat" tank-destroyer down the road, I've noticed we're missing something ;)

These WW2 era vehicles were used in significant numbers in Bosnia and Croatia

I've decided to post the link here as a sneaky way of bumping the thread. Anyway here it is if anyone wants to download http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G1G3I2G7, its the book Balkan Battlegrounds I found on the net, its a pretty hefty 'military history'. I don't suggest reading the entire thing unless you are professionally or fanatically interested in the conflict, but it nonetheless provides a very objective and accurate account for the events that happened, which were up to then produced by medias with heavy political biases to one or the other side. I should really get into marketing.

Oh and also, very nice howitzer model. Don't mean to be a nag or anything but are you planning on releasing anything ahead of schedule, like some infantry or whatever is finished?

I doubt the team will have time for this, but here is a site devoted to Balkan ingenuity, it is a series of 'improvised' vehicles with weapons ranging from aircraft missiles from planes no longer being used such as the F-86D or MiG-21, to the M-48 76mm mortar. Each vehicle was a unique design and it seems all three sides turned to making these APC's at one time or the other.
