Hey Man you got All of these great Vehicles and stuff, But i dont see any China AA Tanks, But then again i dont really have knowledge of the Chinese vehicles. They do have a Anti-Aircraft Tanks or some AAA. If they do are you going to add some? (Remember its optional)

If you honestly think that that is some form of F-16 clone you need glasses, it looks more like a Typhoon/eurofighter then a Falcon. Rumours are it is based on a Lavi prototype sold to China. China makes some pretty good airplanes so there is no reason to doubt the J-10 is a capable plane :)

Actually, experimental and later block F16's do have a delta wing, very much like that J-10. It could well be a copy.

PLA really has got such anti-aircraft armor vehicles,such as something with anti air cannons and missles. Could check game DR of CM for reference. Currently, seems no such baby completed in ARMA2. But I think somebody would do it in future anyway. Maybe still from Fromz?

This is the PLA active service SPAA (Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft) tracked, with tracked quad-25mm gun system and which itself carries the short-range CLC-1 defense radar. A new Army phased array radar is the SLC-2, which can detect incoming artillery out to 50km (30mi) to direct counter-battery fire. Counter-stealth radar. (From Internet Data)

Here are the photos of PZG-95 system

If I have enough free time to handle on pla mod, I'll make it into ArmA2:OH PLA MOD.

That Chinese camouflage is just so cool!

The "Woodland Digital Camouflage" is indeed very nice and modern looking camouflage.

I like the "Oceanic Common Camouflage" the best out of the PLA's current vehicle camo schemes.

As seen here on these YJ-83 anti-ship missile launchers.

They do look nice, almost like plastic toys with them being so clean.

As for standardisation:

The addon can be ballance against BIS units or some other mod.

Attempting to ballance a mod against BIS units is hopeless because BIS units are not ballanced against eachother and thier own weapons (for MP purposes or out of ignorance). Therefore any mod that can work "well" with BI units is well MP ballanced but not really realistic.

As for using multiple mods: most games do not even allow this possibility and the great difficulty of making it possible (ballancing against multiple other mods that allready don't go together well) is usually not worth it.

I can tell you FDF mod for OFP was not ballanced against anything and changed weapon handling toitally, limiting engagament ranges greatly. It never was a problem.

You do not need to repack the mod. Your units can inherit from Fromz's and use separate config in your own pbo. This was the case with 6thsense mod long ago and this will also allow you to avoid mistakes.

Yes, quite right, an even better mechanism.

[CW001 10]

Holy smokes, this looks amazing. There is loads of detail in the models, and a wealth of content. I seriously cannot wait for this to be released.

tl;dr version:

Dear Fromz,

:eek:

So when is this coming out?

[Rhodesy77 11]

when its done

[manzilla 1]

when its done

Yup. Well said. The current stuff looks beautiful in game thus far and runs well so I bet it's getting close. By close that could be months though. That depends on his free time and the time of the testers.

I would be very interested to know what the campaign story is? Is PLA allied to Russia or has Russia already been kicked out by the americans? the PLA campaign is going to be fantastic as you can have a gr8 story idea.

And what type of missions will be in the campaign? tanks? aircraft or is it a mostly infantry based campaign,

also some High command missions would be a good idea.

you could have multiple characters, one infantry grunt, one Major in charge of a company or platoon and a tank commander (as an idea)

or you could just have story as the top aspect and have one character.

perhaps you should make an arty unit, I dont know of any Chinese arty, but it would be a good idea to add some field guns or mortars or self propelled arty.

looking forward to this mod, its gr8.

I was thinking about getting OFP:DR when its cheap (couple years down the line..) but i dont need to anymore :)

thanks

Adding in the arty idea

PLA are set to independent, so for all we know it might be China vs Russia vs America all at once.

And you should probably wait for the mod to be released to the public first before talking about a campaign add-on. ;)

All the MOD is under ACEX:PLA project, Will relese soon. Be patient. :)

[Uglyboy 10]

Hmm.. by reading this Iam really sure yes its compatible to ACE ;-)

[NoRailgunner 0]

Just to be clear - will PLA Mod be working as usual standalone mod or will it force people to use ACE+ACEX?

[deralky 10]

I know that it would be compatible with ACE.

My question was is it playable without ACE?

[clawhammer 10]
