Gunship Assault? Campaign concept

[hellfish6 7]

Howdy fellas,

So, I've decided that I love Arma2. I think it greatly improved upon OFP (nevermind Arma1).

I wonder, and feel free to smack me across the face for this, if it'd be possible to recreate one of my favorite old games in Arma II - Gunship 2000.

The idea in my head is that you load the campaign, and the first mission gives you a choice of teams to play. US Army, US Marines, US Navy, CDF and/or the Russians. Once you pick a team, you then get to pick your aircraft. For the US Army, obviously, the AH-64, OH-58, UH-60 or CH-47 (maybe AH/MH-6). You then fly that airframe for the duration of the campaign, with mission selections tailored to that airframe (i.e. OH-58 would have scouting missions, transport escort, light attack, etc., and UH-60s would do air assaults, dustoffs, resupply, CSAR, etc.)

The missions themselves would be like the dynamic campaigns I used to play in OFP, where it's essentially one big mission that goes on and on and develops over time. It'd be pretty cool if you could scale the mission so you start off doing COIN type missions, then move on to conventional missions as the game goes on, gradually upping the difficulty.

I think it could be done with the ACE mod pretty well, and maybe one or two more mods (I've made Navy MH-60S missions with Gnat's frigates and the merchant ships, for example, that were more fun than I expected them to be).

It's been a long time since I've done any Arma/OFP/VBS editing and I'm rather gainfully employed making government cheese now, so I'm probably not the best person to head up any kind of project, though I can certainly help with design and potentially with some minor scripting.

Thoughts, comments? Has anyone done anything remotely similar to this before? Anyone tried?
