R0adki11 3949 Posted August 1, 2016 Wld - Would you consider using the North Koreans as inspiration for RACs? The original RACs was a mix of Middle East in the Korean Peninsula (North and South Sahari). So perhaps a future NK inspired crew? You can move them forward to 2035 and "merge" both North and South to give the units an excuse to update from today's REAL WORLD arsenal. I don't understand how you could link the North Koreans and RACS together, did you play Arma(1)? RACS is inspired what happened in the events of that game, also at the end of the day its wld427 choice. Its his mod, to do things his way. ;) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valken 622 Posted August 2, 2016 Actually I did and we all know the actual Sahrani island itself was modeled after North and South Korea hence the idea of NK OpFor in RACS. Wld did say he wanted an Asian inspiration and Apex already has Chinese in it. There are also 2 PLA mods already but no NK mods. Well there is an NK uniform mods. It is not far fetched to have other nationals enter any region for conflict. Look at the EU right now. :P As for 2035, noted. That is 100% up to Wld and was a suggestion so he can have freedom to incorporate more assets into game faster. He can keep the technology level at whatever "era" he wants to be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly am more apt to stick with the same timeline and logistical ideas I have been using for the last nearly 10 years. I just don't get the future stuff. maybe it's because I am an old fart. I prefer things that i could go out on the flight line today and touch or weapons I have personally held or faced in combat. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Check this link out. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Sahrani BIS actually placed Sahrani in the north Atlantic ocean. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
war_lord 934 Posted August 2, 2016 Valken, I think you're taking "asian-themed opfor" waayy too literally. I think it was meant in the sense of "Paramilitary Communist guerrillas", not actual Asian soldiers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valken 622 Posted August 2, 2016 @ war_lord - I was probably overthinking it :D With all the recent news of Kim Jong-Un claiming to have successfully "nuked" the USA in a mock wargame, he does make a good source for villainy based on one's perspective.

war_lord 934 Posted August 2, 2016 ...And the reason North Korea makes such absurd claims is to hide from the North Korean people, that that the only thing stopping the whole country starving to death is food aid from the aforementioned USA among others. I'm sorry, I just don't find half a country being held hostage by mad men a source of mirth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3673 Posted August 2, 2016 this is the closest thing to a realistic Tanoa island conflict: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bougainville_Civil_War might prove inspirational - right tech and era bud. http://www.statecrime.org/testimonyproject/bougainville#chapter1 the more you read about it, the more you think maybe BI based Tanoa on this. The giant copper mine in the centre of it all kinda makes it obvious 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
war_lord 934 Posted August 2, 2016 You could do something based around a civil war after an attempted coup by part of the Tanoan armed forces. Fiji was a major inspiration for Tanoa, and it has a disproportionately large military, and a history of attempted military coups. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hcpookie 3770 Posted August 3, 2016 That's the (French design) Etenard as I recall. Pretty! :) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chairborne 2594 Posted August 3, 2016 It's a super etendard alright. Was used mainly in the french and argentinian navy to carry exocet antiship missiles or bombs when used in attack role (although had a very low payload capacity). 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hcpookie 3770 Posted August 8, 2016 FOX 2 bitches..... Is that a Python? -4 or -5? Shouldn't it be FOX ONE ? :P Edit to add the plane looks "perfect" in-game. Proper shading etc. which is sometimes hard to achieve. I guess somebody got their RVMAT's fixed :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess somebody got their RVMAT's fixed :) Afaik the Python is a Dual Band (Thermal/UV) Missile so i would say Fox Two is correct, as Fox One indicates the launch of a radarguided AAM.
