You are most likely confusing Resistance with those Independance Lost screenies that were floating around some time ago. But you are right, I would have liked to see a few more units as well. Even small conversions of existing units would have nice. A recolored trabant or civilian truck, an open toped Ural without the white cover, maybe 1-2 UAZ variants (pk anyone?), A mi-17 without those huge missile racks but a pk instead, etc.. Simple things like that would have added a lot of variety already and drastically improved the atmosphere. This combined with 2-3 new units from VBS which once were "likely to be implemented in OFP, too", would have been great.

Well you either assumed wrong or someone has been talking bollocks to you, there are a fair few new vehicles and weapons, guess it depends on your definition of "loads"

Don't know where you got the idea there was going to be an aircraft carrier or huey, I think you're perhaps getting yourself a smidge confused with some unofficial addon or something, or perhaps VBS

I would like to see that too and please change the M2east!!!

There is this nice counterpart to the US .50cal, which basically looks like a huge pk. I think it won't be a problem to simply change the m2east model in the main .pbo file to one of these. That way every mission, using m2east weapons would automatically replace them with the new weapon.

Gfx made a very good mounted PK.

good, but there is still no official one. As long as stuff like this won't be implemented from an official source, there is almost no chance, seeing it featured in custom maps for tourneys etc..

Furthermore its about fairness. west has 2 jeeps, 2 trucks, 2 transport helis. etc.. east always just one. it would not only add variety but also balance east and west and allow mappers to create more even missions.

That's a damn good idea Nyles, but unfortunately it requires game config editing which might lead to crash etc. The models are same for M2 and M2(east) so if you change the model, the M2 will look same as M2(east) . But I'll ask my buddy to make a mounted PK similar to the M2 and try this "trick" .

I have no doubts that BIS *could* get this working...if they want to.
