Ardistan invasion of Takistan

[aidas2 10]

The year is 1985, and Mikhail Gorbachev has come to power in the Soviet Union. Tensions raise high as the ongoing conflict between NATO and USSR in Everon could lead to a potential 3rd world war. Ardistan, a country in the „Warsaw Treaty Organization of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance“ uses the cover of the ongoing Crisis to invade the weak neighboring country of Takistan in order to claim its vast ammount of untouched resources and install a Puppet goverment for the Soviet Union.

Ardistan left of Takistan

A mod about a fictional invasion of Takistan in 1985. Loosely based on the Soviet war in Afghanistan.

Pictures

Troops are armed with Ak47 and AKM variants. Vehicles include Soviet Uaz, Ural, BMP 2, T55, BRDM 2, T72, BTR 60, Mi17 and a Mi24. Enemy is the Takistan Militia.

Units and groups can be found under Independant > Ardistan. Feel free to make missions and campaigns with this.

Hi i have a problem, when i start a mission up, with the ardistan units, the units start half down in the ground, it seems like im moving a half body around??

I play with ACE, ASR and slx (gunthers version)?

Glad it's working fine.

You should try making the Karzeghistan Military. When I was working on the Green Sea Expansion Project I was thinking about trying to do some. Unfortunately time does not allow it but I was picturing them as having western gear. M16s, M60s, M60 (tank), M113, UH1, etc. I had always figured that there was a strait below Karzeghistan that lead into the Mediterranean or some other sea and that NATO had a Naval and or Airbase there during the Cold War to counter the airbases and naval bases of Soviet Chernarus. Just an idea.

Actually.....

[aidas2 10]

I was actually thinking of adding some sort of nato/blufor faction to fight against these guys, but couldn't think up of anything believable, I might just whip up something like that after I release LAF ;)

[chapman_2424 10]

I really like the look and feel of these units - just wondering if you thought of putting a BMP-1 in the orbat instead of the BMP-2 version ? Would be more for the time period as the BMp-2 was top-of-the-line for 1985 era.

Hello,

As much as I really like the conception of this splendid addon, I have a little nitpick over it. My apologies if I sound like a moron requesting stuff, but I hope you'll understand.

I would like to ask for subtle changes like for instance with the Ardistan Crew vs. Takistani Army Crewmember. Would you be a dear and change the tannish Tanker-helmet to a black one? (less confusing for me because both crew tote Kalashnikov weaponry.)

I also would like to ask for a change in type of infantry helmet if possible: The Czech steelpot helmet known from ArmA (worn by Arma-1 Sahrani Liberation Army soldiers) would make them stand out against their Takistani Army counterparts well enough without need for changes to the rest of their uniform. (For help I mean to refer to this helmet: http://www.pnutzzsurplus.com/catalog/images/CZ-Helmet.jpg (image greater then 100kb!)

For the rest I woud like to thank you for your great addon, it's most welcome to for a change have non-western oriëntated Independent-faction units to battle the Takistani army units with.

Oh, and feel free to have my post removed if found objectionable for any reason. I don't want it to stain your thread if you think it would do so. But thanks in advance for a possible reply. I hope you will consider some altering options though. But thanks a bunch. :)

Aidas drop me a PM if you're interested in karzeghistan

I was actually saying to GossamerSolid a while ago, that i was looking at doing karzeghistan to compliment his PCDF. I shall drop you a PM Slatts. :)

And planes and air defense will be?

Yea, I thought of that, might just ask CWR2 for the one they have.

And planes and air defense will be?

There already is a Zu23 static and truck mounted, don't see much point in adding the Shilka since the intended enemy (Takistani Militia) don't really have any planes. And Martin recently granted permission to use his Mig15 http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?108510-Mig-15-Converted-to-ArmA-2 So the next update will have it.

The more feedback, the better ;) You're right about the helmets, will recolor Ardistani to a black one and I might just use A1 SLA troops for Ardistan and the A1 US troops for Karzeghistan if I ever get to making them.

A good way to solve the inter-identitiy problems there! But if I may ask, the A1 SLA troops, and the A1 USA troops.. Are they getting a retexture? Or slap on flag-patches and leave them be as they are? (Allthough for the US troops I would suggest the M1 steelpot as found on Arma 1 Queen Gambit's Lambowski http://community.bistudio.com/wikidata/images/d/d9/Arma_merc_lamb.jpg character. For there are way too many "fritzpot's" http://www.supplydump.com/image/cache/data/headwear/german_m826_kevlar_helmet-750x750.jpg kevlar helmets around, and to my personal taste that would be a bit too modern for 1985 small Karzeghistan's army, wouldn't you agree? But thanks for the response!

They would obviously get a texture and I don't really know how to switch out the helmets so they will stay the way they are for now.

Might be better to give the Karzegs M16A1s if you're going to do the 1985 version. I was thinking more of a modern version when I put the equipment ideas I gave you together so some of the equipment I mentioned may not fit well. But here were my ideas. My full list (for a modern one) was...

M16

FN-FAL

M60

M203

AT4 or LAW

Dragon

Beretta

MP5

Landrover

Jeep

5t Truck

M113

AAV

LAV-25 (I don't think these ever got exported though)

M60

AH-1

UH-1

CH-47

L-39

F-16

A-4

PBR

I have similar ideas to a cold war one, armed with m16a1 or a2, m60, LAW, driving cucv and the oldschool 5t army trucks, m113 and m60 for armor and a uh1 for air.

[battleship 11]

This is a very realistic mod ,can you also add armored divisions comprising of T-62,T-64,T-80 tanks and desert/green camo textures for them.

Also a Mi-171Sh (rockets)- for this faction.

http://community.bistudio.com/wikidata/images/a/a3/Arma2_oa_mi171.jpg

Standard netted helmets for infantry(with camo leaves)-to distinguish them from the default opfor faction.

http://www.toppots.net/thumb2.php?img=download/RepoOD3Net1.jpg

And there should be special forces units in this mod.

Just want to say that theres still interest in this project, and any update with new uniforms / equipment and especially karzeghistanis would be VERY much appreciated.

Good work so far.
