[WIP] Mitilini Island + Greek units

Recommended Posts

Well basicly they are bluefor yes.

A secondary config adding them as Independant as well should fix all problems and concerns.

If you want to think BEYOND the box of regular BluFor vs OpFor the config will give you the additional easy way to place them as Independent or OpFor Friendly.

Also i talked to my fellow Missionmakers and as soon as this baby comes out - CAMPAIGN ^^

I believe that this indeed is the best way to have all players and mission makers satisfied ... thanks ;)

The mission maker can put any group or single unit in a mission and change their side during that via script or a trigger . The easiest way is when you have independent as a side. You can make friend or a foe from the begging of the mission .

The main question is just the point of view. If you think Greek side as alliance team or as possible rebels group.

Anyway keep up the good work .

Stayed tuned !! :bounce3:

ok regarding units ... I made another small addon (just configs) and now anyone can use them as BluFor or Independent according his will ... I believe that this is the best way to help mission makers so they don't have to deal with scripts - triggers - etc.

Also I made another units retexture (addon) of Greek Police Special Operations Team which called "EKAM" ..

As far as concerning the Island is still under beta testing.

Finally regarding buildings ... I've been added some more and maybe at the end I'll have a little suprise for all ...

Yes I know ... the Greek armed forces have only BMP-1 and indeed they wanted to order BMP-3 as well ... my retextured addon is fictional and in fact has been made in order to be used by my gaming team (HACv).

In case you don't think that I must publish it ... no problem by me :)

@Aplion

Are you going to make any airplanes and helicopters? Any ships?

Also for regular infantry units, are you going to arm them with G3A3/4 late version?

Maybe you already know it, but recently the Army decided to replace HK11A1 with MINIMI 7,62 MK2. FN MAG is used exclusively by Special Forces and only by some infantry units.

Greek Special Forces use M16A2 and M4. Only ZMAK uses M4A1 with various optics. M203 is mounted only to M4 and M4A1.

I'll use some default choppers retextured and maybe some 3rd party aircraft addons also retextured ... for the moment nothing new regarding this.

I know about Greek Army weapons currently used but I'm not sure that at the moment I'll give anything new ... this includes HKG3 weapons as well ... maybe in the future but still I'm not sure yet.

Just curious, how's the BMP-3 usage in Hellenic Army? AFAIK you have just few numbers, how does it look? Same for BMP-1 also.

As I said we don't own BMP-3 yet, is just a thought from Greek Army Command to buy them ... also regarding BMP-1 ... have some photos below ...

Greece does not have any BMP-3. Cyprus has BMP-3.

Ah, true, I though talks were finalized and shipping already occurs for some time now!

Well, seems crisis hit everything, even army is not spared (but it's not as bad as Dutch, is it? Hope is not :P)

Any plans to insert Leonidas II in? You know, I consider Hellenic army prety interesting + I'm fan of non-US mods for that game (I say that as a creator of Georgian Army), so other European nations are more than welcome! I will keep tracking this thread.

Guys please excuse me but I'd never claimed that I'll make a global Greek addon ... please keep in mind that I'm working alone and I don't think that it is possible for one man to make island - units - textures - configs and 3d models all at the same time at least in a reasonable time amount (it will be useless if ArmA III comes out before finish my addons :) ).

I want to make as much I can but there are limitations of knowledge and time.

Thanks for understanding.

Some rework on buildings ... much more work needed for a decent final result ...

Furthermore ... the beta test so far reveled that the island size seems to be small and so far beyond my original expectations.

Probably I'll release it soon as version 1.0 and after that I'll start version 2.0 with double size.
