Damian90 697 Posted February 25, 2019 @massi If I may suggest something when it comes to a bit of realism. 😉 Designations of ground armored vehicles should look like this. Instead of Merkava Mk-IV, the real designation is Merkava Mk4 (IDF do not use Roman numerals), and to be even more precise, in game vehicle is Merkava Mk4M. The Merkava SPH should be named Sholef, as the real world counterpart. There is of course Namer APC, the in game CRV variant should be called Namera (or Nemmera depending on source) as the real world ARV. The AA variant can be named Bardelas. Merkava based MLRS could be named either Menatetz or Romach as the real world IDF MLRS variants are named like that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yeah by the way, the M2A4 Slammer UP, the uparmored variant, in IDF service it would be named Merkava Mk4M LIC. LIC is short for Low Intensity Conflict. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr@gon 118 Posted May 29, 2019 Hi Massi, I have really been enjoying your work again lately. I like the smaller faction groups that you can download only the ones you want rather than a massive mod. I particularly like your newest Canadian SOF release. I'm sure you aren't interested in taking requests but I hope someday you'll have a look at releasing a Southeast Asian guerrilla faction of some sort. Tanoa needs a guerrilla army hiding in that jungle. Thanks for the work on these new releases, I've been a fan for several years. cheers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
