[WIP] Vostrian Defense Forces

[R0adki11 3949]

Militia - Or simply Irregular Forces, those are civilians that are in reserve or are called to help its nation in trouble, number of Militiamen is not big in Vostria but there are alot of patriots to help its nation, they are unskilled men, they use outdated tactics as they did not take advanced trainings and so on.

Rangers - The Elite Vostrian Soldiers serving in the VDF, they are the toughest soldiers in the country, they use the same camouflage like militia use due its advantages, they use modern weaponry range of M16's to M4's

Vostrian Soldiers - They are the peacekeeping forces in the country, advanced and organized men of VDF, they use different camouflage from Rangers and Militia.

Your infantry ideas sound great, i like the idea of the Rangers having the same camo as the Militia, this will allow the Rangers to move around or pretend to me Militia.

[stupidwhitekid75 11]

What about the G36 series of rifles for the VDF's rangers as opposed to the M16 or M4? Or maybe like the SIG550 series? That would be different then most stuff out there.

After long hours of texturing failures and gives up I finally did it...

Here I present you the Vostrian Defense Forces! Firstly a big thank to Lennard for allowing me to use his CDF Marines, it helped me a lot.

Every rank/class in a row!

Vostrian Defense Force have their own crewmen and pilots!

Officer!

And more lines!

What ya think lads! I gotta say I love the camouflage!

Now, VDF uses the guns Militia used before, now Militia used old AK-74 guns from vanilla and yes this will require ACE.

And

What about the G36 series of rifles for the VDF's rangers as opposed to the M16 or M4? Or maybe like the SIG550 series? That would be different then most stuff out there.

I love that idea and I approve it! I will change their weaponry to G36 series!

Tho one day if there will be good enough weapons to fit VDF (new infantry) AKMS's will be changed!

If I were you, I'd ditch the M240L and just use a regular FN-MAG or (arma) stock M240

[Sakowski 1]

Uh what do you mean by FN-MAG?, well if we are talking about the machinegun m240 with the scope, its temporary, still thinking of proper weaponry.

[slatts 1978]

Ah, well if it's only a place holder well then no biggie :) Just saying a U.S only weapon (240L) that isn't out of testing from the last things I read, wouldn't suit

Well perhaps your AUG's one day will have HBAR so that would be a great as a lmg :D

And well yea I am planning to actually make VDF use AUG's that you are making, Rangers - G36 Series and Militia using AKMS after VDF gets AUG's.

[stupidwhitekid75 11]

Something old school like a Bren would be cool for the AR or light machine gunner. The FN Mag with the wood furniture would match well with the Bren and would be good for the machine gunner role too.

Well Bren is a bit too old let's say... if Vostria has money to buy BTR-90, M60A3 and more I am sure they could afford more "modern" weaponry

[R0adki11 3949]

Now, VDF uses the guns Militia used before, now Militia used old AK-74 guns from vanilla and yes this will require ACE.

So i am assuming ACE will be a requirement to run your addons, thats disappointing to see. Hopefully you will make an non-ACE config?

Well if there are people that prefer using vanilla than non-ace then yes I will, ACE is required for its gun after all in here, but non ace config I will do after everything is going well so around Beta release I will do Non-Ace config UNLESS I will find a weaponry that will suit the Vostrian Defense Forces and Rangers, Militia do not need any special weaponry addon due its well... Its only militia after all. ((addon with weapons))

[R0adki11 3949]

Which weapons are you using that need ACE? I would certainly prefer a non ACE config, but it's your choice.

[Sakowski 1]

ACE_AKMS and few other but that probably might go away if I will find decent weapon pack's to change the AKMS. I am planning to put the ACE G36 series for Rangers but as it seems not many people might like ACE I will need to look for a weapon pack or wait for ones.

But you see I am using ACE ones because it has that realism in it, recoil and so on...

[Sakowski 1]

Just a little heads up, I'm re-installing my Windows but I have all backups with me so no worries but I wanted to say that there won't be any upcoming content until I get ArmA 2 Co downloaded (bought from gamersgate) and getting the PC settled up.

But still feel free to give ideas! ;)

[R0adki11 3949]

Well for other weapon packs look at Vilas's AK pack perhaps? G36 you could use the Arma2 OA. If not its your choice at the end of the day, either way I'm looking forward to further updates.

Well I got my Windows fresh now so I will get back to work as soon as I get all my ArmA's and mods etc, Mirage 3 might take a bit of time as I got message from wld that the creator does not respond atm.

And well seen Vilas's AK pack but Miltia can use the normal BIS AK's I guess but for the VDF and Rangers I think something more special is needed, G36 for Rangers, well BIS did not make any silenced version or did they? and well we will see what time will get us, meanwhile I will download my games I will look in armaholic to see weapons packs.

EDIT: Picking a weaponry is not easy I guess, tho as it was set here is what the armies will get:

Militia - AKS-74, RPG, CZ 550, Makarov, AK-74U, PKM, RPK, Igla 9K38 (BIS)

Rangers - G36, G36C, G36C-SD, G36K, (BIS) M21 (WR5 M14's)

Vostrian Defense Forces HAS currently not settled weapons this is where I really need your help lads, I don't want them to carry AK's like possibly most mods like this one, M16 is a bit to western but maybe having a modernized AK's style, maybe keep on waiting for the slatts AUG's or simply let me know in the topic what you think should be the weaponry of VDF (The new ones, not militia or rangers)

[stupidwhitekid75 11]

I would give the militias something like the FAL. To stand out a little bit see if you can use one of the ones already created that isnt the paratrooper version already in game. Or, maybe instead of the FAL you could use the CETME which is similar to the FAL.

If your leaning more towards the soviet style weapons, you could use the SKS as the standard militia rifle mixed with a scoped SKS for marksman/sniper or maybe some kind of hunting rifle. An RPK or PKM as the automatic riflemans primary - or just don't even give the militia an AR class at all and stick to the SKS. After all they are a militia force, not professional military. They don't need several roles when fighting really.

As for the Rangers my suggestion would be to give them the standard G36 for regular rifleman, with the MG36 for the automatic rifleman role. The G36C could either be for the Rangers crewman or for more specialized Ranger units.

Another interesting idea would be to give them HK416/417's..they would go well with the KAC PDW that you have some crew units using. Decisions, decisions...

[Sakowski 1]

Well rangers do not have their own crewmen and pilots, they get transport in air and land by Votrian Defense Forces aka the normal troops, Rangers now use G36 Series.

Militia will use its AK's because well its probably best idea.

Tho Militia won't get, planes and tanks, 1 type of transport helicopter and a BTR or BMP, since they are militia they are not a grand army.

Ranger's Grenadier uses M4A1 ACOG and M203 since there is no G36 with a grenade launcher in vanilla.

All type of G36's, C for medic, K for officer and A for someone else.

[Sakowski 1]

And for sake of VDF I made a video showing current look of the VDF and how they look when playing, I gotta give a + to the camouflage because after that I made different playground and played enemy, It was hard to see when they lay down!

(( Watch in 720P :P ))

If you guys want more I can do some Armour/L-39 vid

And about Militia - they are going to be done last :P

[Sakowski 1]

First shipment of Gazelle's has arrived! pilots from 4th Aviation Division have tested them out!

Lynx coming soon! :P

Credits for the Gazelle to Trouble!

P.S. Seems that on the screenshot its a bit bugged texture weird, perhaps due the resolution I made it in.

Finally Lynx is fixed! Big thanks to markb50k for fixing the config.cpp and Trouble for trying!

Firsly I want to apologize that the texture work on it looks shitty if it is thats not my fault, the nohq and how texture work is really weird and makes camouflages looks very weird when applied on lynx.

[Sakowski 1]

Woa was long time...

Sadly I won't be continuing with the mod, my PC died due power outage and I just got a new PC, lost all documents, pictures and many more related to the mod and there is no backup...

Mods can lock the topic, but anyways if perhaps some people would like to see something new PM me or if you would like me to join your project and I might so...

Anyways thank you and byeeh!
