Together with the basics like OPFOR mines and smoke grenades this is all that the Syrian Army for PR has in common with MEC. Can you please elaborate this sentence and where you got your information?
'Why make a faction thats almost identical to the MEC?'
Tbh it has way more in common with the PR Russian faction then any other

Anyway, lots of factions share assets. It's more about the theater of Syria as a whole that you try to make when making a comfac really. It's much more then 'just a faction'.
The maps, the alternative rebel faction(hopefully

) and a brand new army to play with. Which is much different then MEC or any faction for that matter. It has it's own identity. You can simply press my signature, and check the designplan to see it has NOTHING to do with MEC. Much like other nations which are in the middle east that aren't similar to what MEC is.
But I feel MEC can be see as it's own fictional nation. Not Iran, not Syria, just MEC. It fits well for years now in PR and there is no reason to replace it.
If people are wondering, not much development as of late. I cannot continue until I have 3D artists who are willing to finish what is left. The only thing well under development is our maps. One of which you can test TONIGHT.

If these models don't get finished, then I might have to lower the expectation to see the faction come to live soon. What can easily be done is finish what we have and put these assets and maps to use under the MEC faction. Which would give the MEC more assets (shilka, MIG21, MIG23,GAZ trucks) and maybe we can give the insurgent faction some new toys as well in form of vehicles(T55,AA-techie). Together with the maps this should be a well enough offer until on the long term we can get the new 3D models done.
