Well, specialist could possibly be ghurka, but we first need someone to do a ghurka soldier reskin, and that kukri would also have to be modeled, textured, animated and exported.

Not to mention this is really low priority, especially when we dont have any argentian skins, like one proper jet model for them, not even one armored vehicle, and so on..

Well all the jets they have are actually the correct jets, other than the A-1H which isn't technically a jet, its a turboprop and a placeholder for the Pucara and the other is one of the Mirage IIIEA is carrying an Anti-Ship missile where the Super Etendard which was the plane that did that, which hopefully we will get in the long run, but other than that, we have a proper Mirage IIIEA, a proper IAI Dagger and a proper A-4C, just there models are not the best quality, but they do the job just fine :)

Also the Argies to have the LVPT-7, but that isn't used on the main layers :p

What's wrong with the term Argies? Any other short name we can call the Argentinians that you would prefer? Like we have Brits which is short for British, although that's not so much needed but having to type out Argentinians each time is quite a lot :p

Argies it's ok for me, and I'm from Argentina... It doesn't feel discriminative...

Urban Dictionary: argie
From my experience it's not word used but the tone implied. I could say "those argentinians" and despite being completely politically correct, I put on a tone of disdain.
I don't think Rhino was saying it disdainfully though.

The SBS were involved in and around fox bay on the West Island, scouting and directing fire.

They were on the green island in the middle of the bay. Whilst where I was stood taking the photograph, back in 1982 that was patrolled by the Argentinean forces.

As such, engagements at ranges will be quite difficult, but possible :)
Have you guys considered using the L2A1 "Sight Unit, Infantry, Trilux" (SUIT) Sight?
It was designed for use in Northern Ireland, where the Brit soldiers were having trouble identifying targets in the low light conditions. It would make the engagements a little bit easier, considering the distance problems stated in an earlier post.

Yes, its in the design plan if you have a look: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f562-p ... -plan.html

But it wasn't very common back then, unlike scopes today, so only planning on using it on the Marksman kits.

if not, just buy another. Can get BF2 for ~5 squid from most places, probably less from internet download like Steam.

I'll probably have to get another disc as I've got Armoured / Euro as DLCs on Origin. Would be good to play again as BF3 was a huge disappointment (for me anyway).

Every new faction/map/mini-mod/add-on/etc brings a new dimension to gameplay, so I can't see how this new addition won't improve gameplay and be just generally a blast.

Combat area is smaller - plus lots of helis available as long as the Container ship isn't sunk - but they'll need air cover......
