Its not really like the US Marine corp. They have everything they need. I'd say its more like the Royal Commando's but there training does not involve all commando thing. We still have our own Dutch Commando's. But thats not the Dutch Marines.eenis wrote:how many marines does the Netherlands have? are they more along the line like the U.S. Marine corp or the Royal Commandos?

Good to know, but keep in mind this is for when the Army faction is done we first have to complete that before we can move on to the next thing.MCI wrote:I must say first I thought it was a April's fool joke but then again its allready the 8th of May...

You would rather see the a Limburgse Jagers division then Royal marines huh?
Re: [SubFaction] Korps Mariniers

I can understand why it will be a great idea to include the marines.
First of all it sets the Dutch faction more apart from the other blufor factions and gives the opportunity to launch amphibious assaults as something else than the USMC faction.
It also brings new theaters of war and scenarios to PR.

the point is obvious... its the same point to why it would be nice to have the Royal Marines and the PLANM in etc, its just a lot of work epically when you consider the factor of an Assault Ship / Carrier to launch a Amphibious Assault from.[R-DEV]AfterDune wrote:It seems Z-man is one of the few that actually get the point

Yeah Z man is spot on
Ever since BF1942 midway, wake island, omaha beach and iwojima in vanilla bf1942 and DC/DCX ive been hooked on amphibious landings
For a LPD to be modelled we have plenty of time, like mentioned earlier army first, marines later and we can use the essex as place holder like all factions do

We would not allow the essex to be used as a place holder... No other faction is using it apart from the USMC and as such, you will need to make a LPD before you can have a finished Amphibious Assault map in PR.[R-CON]Glimmerman wrote:For a LPD to be modelled we have plenty of time, like mentioned earlier army first, marines later and we can use the essex as place holder like all factions do

Don't get me wrong I am looking forward to do a proper beach assault the Dutch way. And its a good thing that you don't want to wasted modelling time by waiting for the maps to be finished.
Go on and finish this mod and the Marines fast, But Quality first.
