Content suggestions
Post any suggestions you have for future updates here. I cannot and do not make any promises, but I would be interested to see what directions the community thinks this mod could be expanded in.

A few ideas:

- NAPA doesn't really have a consistent aesthetic when it comes to vehicles. Their technicals are unpainted and their commandeered military vehicles are plain olive. A consistent camo scheme would help in making them more distinct.

- In terms of footsoldiers, both NAPA and Chedakis in CUP don't have armor. I feel like both factions could feasibly obtain surplus helmets and bodyarmor from seized supply depots, or in the case of the Chedakis have it be "donated" to them from "sympathetic individuals" in Russia. Both factions could also purchase civilian body armor (read: tactical vests). In terms of aesthetic, they wouldn't have proper camo patterns since they didn't professional procure the armor themselves, so armor would likely either be single plain colors or spray painted.

- SWAT teams and vehicles with the civilian militia. Could use the less armed APCs.

- There is a critical absence of M113s! Jokes aside it would be feasible for the CDF to obtain M113s since they're old and various users would be willing to sell them off.

I would imagine the Chedaki in particular would use A LOT of Soviet surplus. Though that's probably more something to be done with the CWR3 submod.

Also, would be down for some CDF M113s since they have them when doing peacekeeping in Takistan. On a similar note, an update CDF UN faction would be nice (though not entirely necessary). Stuff like UN Ssh68s, tanks, etc.

But these are all just me spitballing. In the end, just do what seems right to you

It would be nice if the modern CDF faction could get NVGs.

just a suggestion the MH9 would be nice for the CDF 2035 faction.

It would be great to add Russian/Soviet vests like 6b3, 6b5, 6b13 and so on.
I find it rather odd how the 2035 CDF only has the rather large Merlin HC3 as a helicopter transport. They should have a lighter helicopter available too! I think the WY-55 Hellcat the AAF and LDF use would be the obvious choice, since it's an upgraded version of the AW159 Wildcat which fits the whole "contemporary British surplus" thing they seem to have going in the aviation department. Other than that, you could also just give the existing CH-146s that snazzy new geometric paintjob the 2035 CDF has.

Both the modern and 2035 versions of the CDF could also use MRAPs, though I'm less certain on it. In the case of the modern iteration they could benefit from to deal with insurgent IEDs both at home (before the ChDKZ insurgency went hot anyways) and abroad in places like Takistan. For the 2035 version, well 2030s militaries seem to have MRAPs as their main infantry transport though admittedly 2030s Chernarus wouldn't need MRAPs for insurgent activity the same way the AAF would (probably, anyways). Don't have any firm suggestions for what MRAP either could use though but I feel like the modern CDF would likely use the RG-31 and the 2035s version would use M-ATVs (or Hunters as they are known in vanilla).

A few ideas for NAPA infantry gear from both me and a friend:
  • NAPA SSh-68 helmets should include coverless versions with the spray paint pattern they use on vehicles as well as one with just their cross symbol
  • NAPA uniforms should include mixed camos (Ex. flecktarn top, ERDL bottom) as the ChDKZ already do, to give a "irregular" feeling.
  • Speaking of camos, you could have some of this mod's modern CDF camos included in mixed NAPA uniforms to represent CDF deserters or stolen gear (Ex. alpenflage top, butan-mountain bottom). Inspired by the "Deserter Clothes" from the Contact DLC which have LDF uniform pieces alongside civilian apparel. Would need a new model or new Butan textures though, since current CDF and NAPA fatigues do not share the same model.

I noticed that CUP stuff is being better integrated into Altis via this mod so I have some suggestions there.

  • It would be nice if the AAF received 1A3s and 2A6s. The rationale here is that aside from it being surplus the AAF could get a hand on, in gameplay terms they're significantly less threatening than MBT-52 Kumas (Leopard 2SGs) and thus are a more reasonable threat to throw at players who have less effective AT options.
  • More British surplus! Coyotes and Jackal2s make sense for the open hilly environment of Altis where inexpensive off-road patrol vehicles would be quite useful. The FV432 Bulldog would also be an older but still mine resistant APC, good for handling the FIA. The UK also attempted to sell Greece Challengers 2 IRL, so the AAF having them wouldn't be too far-fetched.
  • A friend suggested giving them the AAA7/A1s that the USMC gets, since Altis is a nation of multiple islands and realistically would have amphibious warfare capability.
  • Please improve the AAF M113 camouflages because what CUP gives them is genuinely quite ugly my goodness. The squares on them are much too large and tilted in a few places where it really shouldn't be. The M163A1 VADS that got given to the AAF could also use a proper camo job instead of being olive drab, as well.
