[Faction Proposal] Danish Faction

[=(DK)=stoffen_tacticalsup]

I have a bit more down to earth suggestion, it might prove tricky as f***, but its relatively simple.
To my understanding danish opperations in Helman province work in close conjunction with the UK forces. At least the danes are placed under birtish command (right?/right).

We could, relatively simply, include a danish kit on a birtish-faction map. Sort of as an "extra" class.
I dont know how the whole voice aspect would work, but I bet that we can make some decent "valby-engelske" screams and orders. Ofc it would require a "Helman" map, unfortunately we dont have that anymore so that complicates things a little. A single kit addtion wouldnt be a dramatic change in gameplay? I know its a little unheard to "mix" sections between forces, but an aquintence of mine is an inteligence officer stationed in Helman. He told me that he and some cOleGes (cant spell it) mixed in with a british section when on specific patrols due to the competences he and his cOlEges brought (dont know what though).

Anyway, I am 100% certain that at least one other community faction combines forces between coutries.
So it can be done, what do you say?

*edit* we better all get along, you know they are forming the Nordic Battlegroups in the EU, so we all better be friends since we are going to be spilling the same blod in the same mud. Besides, Id rather be fighting alongsides Norwegians and Swedes than any other armed force in the world, given an ultimatum .
Og hvis i stadig ikke opfører jer ordenligt så tager vi Norge og Skåne tilbage (!)

I'd rather have a full fledged faction than a kit ... It can pass with ANA kits, but not the Danish IMO.

Don't worry, somebody will epipen this thread once he knows there are modders free and willing to fill tasks for this.

You cant have multible voices for one side of players, there is just CO, SL and SM and if you would make a Danish spawnkit in the UK faction he will speak English.

We have next to Dutch soldiers one ANA spawnkit but he will speak Dutch because of above limitation.

^Dammit! Okay, well, if one is to remain oppoturnistic, an english speaking dane could be done

[DeltaFart]

Time to smack me with a fish
Whats the difference between the dutch and danish?

[Qaiex]

One is Scandinavian, the other can buy legal weed. ^^

If anyone is interested in danish hardware and images of danish soldiers and equipment being used in Helman - here is a GREAT thread with loads of pics, especially the later pages after our L2 platoon arrived.

I for one would love to see the Danes in PR, But you gotta get urself a team together to do it.

the Danes on British maps would work...but tbh I think the engine limitations makes it seem convoluted and less immersion.

for a second I thought that was ACU

[Snazz]

I'd like to see every faction in existence added to PR at least for the sake of diversity, as long as it has no negative affect on any existing developments (eg. stretching resources). Else only a couple of factions might be added before interest is lost.

So as long as you've got a new team of people to work on it (which could eventually contribute to the main PR development) I give you my moral support.

Danes are better trained, equipped than norway - or was until them swedewannabes got their HK416

But I still think the danish troops would be more relevant to PR than Norway. Personal opinion. We're in the sh1t down there.

haha i want the proof,, on that comment !

That can be discussed to death please dont come with comments thats impossible to say anything about.

But I would rather see a faction with both Norway, Sweden and Denmark in as both three countries are trying/talking to make a close effort to be more effective with each other as none of the countries is big enough to defend for themself.

[Z-trooper]

Yea, I wasnt trying to bump the suggestion/debate. I just ran into that thread and thought that this was the appropriate thread to dump it if people were interested

Lets drop the good ol' scandinavian "who is the best viking"-fight... for now at least

[Scot]

Hehe, I was just wondering what was different about Z-Trooper, then saw he was promoted to R-DEV lol Congrats dude

[=(DK)=stoffen_tacticalsup]

^lol thats true! Congrats!

[marcoelnk]

Congrats Z-trooper

[Qaiex]

It's pretty badass to be using the MG3.

Bump

I see now that, the Japanese faction has created the Type 89 apc.

If I am not mistaken, is that not the very same as those recently purchased by the Danish army?

If so, then a possible danish faction would be almost limited in requirements of reskinning and mapping correct and ofc voiceacting and etc. Are there any major bumps further down the road that I cannot see?

I know the Devs has jsut issued a BLUFOR hold on factions, but it was more a question as if it would be theoreticaly possible with a fairly reasonable amount of work required?

[Z-trooper]

Not exactly sure what the Type 98 really is, but the CV9035 IFV is being made for the dutch forces. Most of the stuff needed to make the danes are work in progress within the PR team or the community.

Although it might seem as if they are as good as done, there are still lots and lots of work to do to complete a faction.
Many reasons are behind the stop of BLUFOR factions, and I support them. On the PR team there is probably next to no desire to make another faction from a relative small nation, and I cirtanly no longer have time and energy to invest in this, especially with my involvement in PR2.

If you are up for it you can always try to look into making this a reality, and if needed I can help you look over a design plan. However do not mistake my personal joy of the idea of making a danish faction with official support from the PR team. There is likely no or very little chance to be added or supported for the forseeable future.

[Z-trooper]

Standard weapon is the C7A1 (M/95) The C8A2 (M/96) is used by logistics and non front line troops.
It is going to be replaced with the M/08, which is the Diemaco SFW
