[Faction Proposal] JGSDF Forces

[sekiryu]

The Canadians and Polish arent even done yet and now the japs?

1. Goddamit I hate when people say "Japs". J-a-p-a-n-e-s-e.
2. It's still in the idea stage.

Germany and the Netherlands are primarily in peacekeeper type roles. Canada and the UK are involved in the most hostile regions and are supported by US aircraft and logistics chains. IIRC.

Before a Dutchman comes in here and tears your head off, the Dutch are very heavily involved in the fighting in the south of Afghanistan. They're also one of the main suppliers of airsupport in the region.

Because they're lazy and its marginally less offensive than saying "nips" or "dinks"? Also, People call the British "Brits", so why not the Japanese "Japs"?

Generally we (the Japanese) take offense to it because it's what we were called during WWII and was used a degrading term. You don't go calling Germans "krauts" anymore, do you?

[Nimble]

... Wait, we're not supposed to call them Krauts anymore?

[sekiryu]

I'm just paranoid about anti-Japanese sentiment. There's still alot of it around today, despite the fact that there's little to no anti-German, anti-Italian sentiment. It's always "those damn Japs". I've been called a communist for wanting to learn Japanese (and otherwise made fun of), I've been called a "traitor" at airsoft because I'm wearing JGSDF gear, and people have been so stupid to say "he's white but he wants to learn Japanese, lulz". What the bloody fvck is up with that?!

Yes.

[danthemanbuddy]

I think having the Australian forces in would be better. The Japanese is a defense force, and you guys would have to model a lot, and I mean a lot of statics for that.

Australian forces are in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Solomons, and are an active force in the war on terror.

Plus you know every single guy who plays this game wants to see a
and fire it.

[Rambo Hunter]

he AUG is the ugliest of all assault rifles. ever.

and i think Japan would be in the chinese theater, so not so many statics

Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force

de·fense (dĭ-fĕns') pronunciation
n.

1. The act of defending against attack, danger, or injury.
2. A means or method of defending or protecting.


Im sure Japan will Attack China and violate its Constitution.

I'm going to kill you for saying that...

Im sure Japan will Attack China and violate its Constitution.

Or:

A. The story could be along the lines of this:

China invades Taiwan, uses it as a base to attack Japan. The maps will all be simple island maps, with Ishigaki, Shimoji, Irabu, Miyako, etc., that are so close to Taiwan, that there's a mix of Japanese/Chinese culture, meaning we can use the Chinese statics.

B. This is in the future, no? I mean, when would China ever be in a war with Britain and the US anyway? There have been talks of changing Article 9, to allow for joint US-Japanese anti-terror strikes in Asia, to "protect our common interests".

Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force

And yet you didn't do the same analysis about the Australian Defense Force.

[danthemanbuddy]

And yet you didn't do the same analysis about the Australian Defense Force.

But thats because they have cool guns

[sekiryu]

Everyone has cool guns--except the Koreans. The Daewoos are fugly.

[azn_chopsticks_boi]

Daewoo K2 is not that bad i would say :/

but the one weapon that is fugly 2 me is the KH2002

[Bleach]

I think its a good idea and i live near ozzy and New Zealand army and Australian army are quite active in Afghanistan at the moment so there not really a defense force are they...

Generally we (the Japanese) take offense to it because it's what we were called during WWII and was used a degrading term. You don't go calling Germans "krauts" anymore, do you?

I never did.

They're Jerries.

Anyway, we've got Ruskies, Kiwis, Aussies, Argies, SKs, NKs, SAs, Scots, Brits, yanks and any number of other shortened words for a persons country of origin. Why should the Japanese be any different?

I can call ya "nips" if it makes you feel better.

[IDF-Godzilla]

I always thought the Type 90 tank is good looking and would like to see it in the game someday.

But seeing IDF forces would be even nicer.
And the people who claim that "oh it will be just another US faction" are wrong.
IDF forces can contribute a lot to the PR mod and add content that haven't been seen before.
Merkava tanks
Heavy APC units such as "Achzarit" (converted T-55's), "Namer" (heavy APC based on the Merkava chassis) and Centurion tank based vehicles like "Nagmashot/Nakpadon" and "Puma" combat engineering vehicles.
Tavor-21 assault rifles.
SPIKE missile family.
Up armored vehicles like HMWWV's, "Sufa" jeeps, "Golan" MRAP vehicle.

...and the Danish forces, but as always not in big numbers, but very active in the hostile areas (army recon and army and navy SF).

I think they will be sending tanks to Afghanistan soon, Leopard 2.

Seriously, we Scandinavians need to start Scandinavian Forces project for PR...

[sekiryu]

Mmmm, Tavor.
