[Proposal] The Army of the Democratic Republic of Congo Faction

[nedlands1]

Sounds like a great idea. You should be able to do most of this community mod yourself by editing some Python scripts and using the Browning Hi-Power from USI.

Or just use the British faction's Hi-Power pistol. I for one want to see the FN Fal used by an OPFOR instead of a myriad of Kalashnikovs. I'd imagine they'd be fairly common in region.

;732815']Mmmm.. Interesting ... and think that the Italy send advisers in the Congo.

The Army of Congo ,use weapons such as Fn FAL or Sterling or WW2 weapons.
Korobov TKB-517 ?
Type 68 ?
STG44 ?
Uzi ?

Don't think we're going to use the STG44 or the Korobov. I'm looking where I can put the others. Main assault rifle will still be the AK-74 though.

FN FAL is really missing in PR. Like the G3 it was used all over the world before the current weapon generation took over. Its sort of sad that there isnt a FAL pickup kit at least, I'd imagine there being thousands and thousands of them out there still in use.

Would be a fun project to do so the insurgent/opfor factions could have a bit more variation.

For everyones health, dont make their sniper the Mosin.

[BetterDeadThanRed]

SVD would fit far better.

[Maxfragg]

but the SVD is actually more a DMR than a Sniper

[BetterDeadThanRed]

Yeah but these guys aren't exactly the most well trained conventional fighters out there.

[nedlands1]

but the SVD is actually more a DMR than a Sniper

As far as the Russian military doctrine is concerned, it is a sniper rifle. It's Cyrillic name (Снайперская винтовка Драгунов) translates to "Dragunov Sniper Rifle".

EDIT: Gotta love google translate. Their maps are pretty cool too

FN FAL's not commonly used in Africa, so we haven't used that.

Quite a few updates, added Support truck, SIG SG540 as Marksman, SVD as Sniper. AKS47/74 as Crewman/SpecOps.

New Design Plan uploaded. If you really have time and want to help now, please check the Design Plan, look what you like to do, and give me a PM Very important now are the Player Models. They are highest priority.

If anyone could help with that? (Looks at Pride, Spush, other good texturers )
Please have a look at this:

Thanks a bunch,

List of what needs to be done for the First release:

AK74 + UGL + Scope Reskinned
PKM Reskin
SIG SG540
Player Models
Support Truck Reskin
AKS
Congo Flags

AKS is this right?


please says yes!

Also can i use your desgin plan as a template for the KPA???

will be nice when we have some new OPFOR to blast

[Maxfragg]

that is a AKS-74U (the vBF2 MEC SpecOps weapon)
the AKS is that:

it had already been made by IDF - Fight for independance

[Brummy]

Yea use it. Doesn't matter to me. Anyway, yes, that AKS that max posted.

[Scot]

Xfire group, as this seems to be going quite fast? Obviously I'm a noob at texturing, but i can try and do what ever is need of me!

[azn_chopsticks_boi]

Wish you guys luck with this

Click the link in my sig and apply almost all community modders and a whole bunch of different R-XXX's are there too..

[Scot]

Cheers mate, applied now!

[AnimalMother.]

Same

[ZZEZ]

I'd recommend dumping the idea of making an Army of Congo and instead going with a fictional African army, like the MEC - this will give you more "breathing space" for creativity instead of just throwing AKs everywhere..it will just end up being like Militia imo.
That way, they could actually have an airforce instead of 6 helicopters.
You could name it Great Africa's Army, GAA or something

Anyway, best of luck.

[Z-trooper]

Totally agreed imo. ZZEZ nailed it.

Will porbably also help win the devs favor and help from the community modders.

Maybe this will help with getting an idea about what they're capable of. Military of the Democratic Republic of the Congo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
