80s Iran

60s and 80s IDF is also possible with CUP and CWRIII assets

South Africa, its more of an Indep country now but back during the 60s/80s(90s) South Africa had heavy ties with US and UK.

It might be difficult since most of South Africas vehicles, during the time, arent in CUP nor Vanilla, other than the Rhino.

This seems mostly Opfor focused but I think it would be cool to see some Western/NATO countries in here too. 1950s US Army/Marines would be awesome for Korean War scenarios, or 1950s-1980s ROK. Anyway, this is awesome dude, thanks for putting it together!

1950s/1960s Chinese PLA

Netherlands 80s. Why is spain opfor shouldnt they be indep or blufor?
TFatseas 19 Jan, 2022 @ 4:15pm 
If adding any BLUFOR, I second a late 1970's US faction, especially around at 77-78-79 timeframe. OG107 BDU's, ERDL helmet covers and MERDC vehicles would be the hotness, and would easily be possible with CWR and CUP assets. Kinda a forgotten period of US military history.

50's US would be cool as well, but hard without extra dependancies which wouldn't be wanted.

And just some random suggestions:

70-80s Libyans
67 or 73 IDF/Syria/Egypt/Jordanians
Pre and post Islamic Revolution Iran
80s Soviet backed Afghanistan
Cold War Finland
Belgian Congo in the 60s - Congolese Military/Mercenaries vs SIMBA rebels.

Anyways, great mod. Has stuff I've been wanting in Arma for a long time.

It would also be nice seeing some more Asian factions as I feel they are very lacking in Arma. Like someone else said cold war PLA would be great, but also Communist rebels and insurgents from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand around the 40s-80s would be a great addition. I apologize for so many recommendations, but I think every cold war enthusiast is very excited about your mod introducing so many cold war era factions that are almost never seen in Arma. Keep up the great work and I think we are all excited to see what comes next!

Suggestions

1.Integrate TOB Uniform pack so you would include 1960's Bundeswehr and 1960's FDF since that TOB has Bundeswehr Splittermuster and Finnish m/62 along with RHSGREF since that mod has M42 stalhelm for the Finns and M43 Field Cap without WW2 insignia for the Bundeswehr.

2. Also integrate RHSGREF For the Spanish Stalhelm since they are still using but started to phase for in favor for the M1 helmet they enter the NATO standardization program in the late 80s.

3. Bundesgrenschutz uniform pls

4. Italian 1960's would have the Italian M1929 and in order to get this, you should sub to Stl-Generic Retextures-GM.

5. Please include the French 1960's. There is mod called Indochine you could integrate to your mod.

I disagree on adding more mod dependancies. It just becomes unnecessary bloat, and I believe is probably outside the intended vision of the mod.

I use both CUP and RHS, but I keep them in separate modlist.

Not saying your suggestions are bad in anyway.

80s Argentina armed forces. Would be neat for some Falklands War scenarios.

I understand armed euro civilians but can we finally get some love for the Irish Republican Army?

I just now realized that the Orlite helmet was moved from CWRIII base to the BAF expansion. :(

Maybe if there's enough need for more factions that utilize CWRIII BAF assets, but I dont want tons of dependencies to weigh this mod down and I think this mod so far is strictly OPFOR.
Ugandan armed forces during the era of dictator Idi Amin (1971-1979).

pakistani, indian, and bangladeshi armed forces (1960s-1980s)
