Paratrooper

Improved graphics, police, new civillians, Kamov werewolf, motorbike, a miriad of new weapons, improved game features like puting weapons down and loads more. Its a great expansion!

Mulit-national military ventures have been like this since WWII. One of my grandfathers was an officer on the advance into Axis Europe; he said that the only thing more dangerous than the Germans infront was the Americans behind. They often thought that different uniforms were enemy troops. Military experience is always good for armys, this is often lacking in Europe, like the Dutch and Germans. The answer has come in the form of areas of responsibility like in Kosovo. Military blunders are part of war, in Yugoslavia and everywhere else. (Especialy if American bombers are around j/k of course )

I'd really love a good shotgun in OFP. One where you don't have to reload after every shot!

The EU, while advocating for open borders and free trade internally, is pretty isolationistic towards non-EU countries. If Britain would be outside the EU, it would very soon find its products boycotted and penalty taxed. It isn't fair, but it is the reality. <span id='postcolor'> Your just plain wrong there. We have had a free trade agreement with Europe under the WEU. Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and even Mexico! have free trade with Europe, the're not part of the EU. Boycotts are illegal betwene WTO nations. Britain has trade, we don't need our Parliment and Judiciary undermined from Brussels and Strasbourg. So the trade argument can be st aside as an advantage of the EU.

Well how would it work? I don't think the ai is up to the job, but I like the idea of using the police more.

There is a limitation in the OFP engine, only one missile type can be carried on an aircraft, the models for a missile must all be the same. It is therefor to my knowlege impossible to have sidewinders and mavericks on a plane. Has/can this be overcome?
