Off course we are taking this seriously just wait ok we need to make some more progress first!para_hjs wrote:Is the NBG faction devs serious about the idea or just "playing around, and see whats happens"? Do you devs got a devblog or similar?
Anyway, keep up the work.
Looks pretty interesting. Are you in prepreprepre ALPHA state or what?

I don't get what you're saying here. You design it to be one faction, so how would this equal more work for the modders? For example, rifleman being Norwegian with Norwegian equipment, Machine gunner being Swedish with Swedish equipment, medic being Danish with Danish equipment.me, KP and olsson discussed doing this faction a while back, but I'm afraid that its not such a good idea due to the complications of having many armies as one - I have a few suggestions myself, but it isnt really suited for PR imo.
I mean, just look at the development time for the other factions, even factions that only really have one handheld weapon as their main requirement to get done for a build, now mix 2-5 contries weapons, soldier skins, vehicles and sell that to the DEVs, I think not - sorry.
the only right way to do this, imo, is to choose one army, make that, then move on. Will take forever and of course everyone wants their homelands forces. Someone just needs to stand up and say, "screw you guys (in a nice way of course , me and these guys here: (insert community modders) are making this faction".
There is no Scandinavian unity. Bloody Swedes stealing our wiminz!Fonveh wrote:It's a good idea. But I'd rather want to see a fictional Scandinavian coalition (Norway, Sweden, Denmark)
You could use a variation of the Kalmar flag.
a symbol of Scandinavian unity.

Tell that to the boys who get shot at in Afghanistan.I also think a united Scandinavian force would be easier for the community to swallow, as separate Scandinavian countries don't make up much of a force on their own.
It's not that unlikely in military terms. In a potential major conflict in China or the Middle East you might have seen mixed Scandinavian units. There are already alot of talks about cooperation between the 3 countries.KP wrote:There is no Scandinavian unity.
You would possibly have to model 2 or 3 more weapons than other mods. Many are similar to what we already have in-game.KP wrote:That means we'd have to model a bunch more weapons and more vehicles.

Of course, all respect to them. But I can't help but think you'll get alot of protests from the PR community with a separate Norwegian, Swedish or Danish mod. But, maybe I'm wrong...KP wrote:Tell that to the boys who get shot at in Afghanistan.
but you never mention Finland...L119A1. British spec ops rifle. Not the exact version, but I doubt many can see the difference.black-wolf wrote:Already in-game? are you sure?

A mixed Scandinavian unit would be part of a larger task force if anything, and not operate on its own. And it's unlikely that Norwegian forces would be sent to war or anything other than "peace-keeping" missions. Thanks, SV!

HK416 (just because I don't know what you other guys are using for Spec Ops)
AG3F2 (Ag3 already in-game, though not the F2 version)
C7A1 (Scoped version already in-game) No, it isn't. Not even close, actually. The L119A1 is the M4, while the C7A1 is the M16.
Ak5C
Minimi (Already in-game)
Glock 17 (I believe one is enough) Not if different countries use different pistols.
DMR (Hk-417, or maybe an AG3 variant) Which still needs to be made.
Sniper rifle (PSG-90) Which still needs to be made.
L-AT - At4 (already in-game) Is that used by Scandinavian countries?
H-AT (MBT LAW?)
Crew Mp-7 That would have to be a Norwegian crewman, who, in any case, probably wouldn't use an MP7, but, rather, an AG3F1.
Vehicles:
Tank: Leopard 2 variant
APC: CV-90 - maybe the 40 caliber variant. Needs to be made.
Planes: Gripen and F-16 (JSF?) Gripen would have to be made.
Transport: Iveco maybe Needs to be made.
Truck: Scania variant Needs to be made.
Helicopter: FH-90 It's called the NH-90 and needs to be made.

Read the thread - it's been mentioned several times.

Why? We don't throw the Canadians and the US together, just because they're close and take part in operations in the same country.
)Maybe I'm missing something, but when is this mod supposed to take place? There's an election next year, and I think it's the first and last time that SV will be in the government. Either way, as a NATO member I'm pretty sure Norway would be involved in a global war, regardless of what SV thinks.A mixed Scandinavian unit would be part of a larger task force if anything, and not operate on its own.

My mistake. Wouldn't it be possible to partially use the M16 model in-game then?C7A1 (Scoped version already in-game) No, it isn't. Not even close, actually. The L119A1 is the M4, while the C7A1 is the M16.
It is used by both Sweden and Denmark.L-AT - At4 (already in-game) Is that used by Scandinavian countries?
Well, it's up to the timeframe of the mod again. Mp7 will be delivered this year, and is intended to be used as a crew weapon from what I heard.Crew Mp-7 That would have to be a Norwegian crewman, who, in any case, probably wouldn't use an MP7, but, rather, an AG3F1.
Ah, ok. It would be cool to see Norwegian forces in-game. Lets hope you won't be attacked by the Americans who have never even heard of Norway though.Read the thread - it's been mentioned several times.

And thank heavens for that. What a wannabe political party. But even if Norway is a part of such a war, that does not mean Norwegian troops would be deployed and working closely with Swedish (they aren't in NATO), Danish or Finnish (who aren't in NATO either) troops. And, besides, the Nordic Battlegroup has nothing to do with NATO.

It would still have to be re-modelled, textured and imported.
It is used by both Sweden and Denmark.
All right.

Well, I'm not sure exactly what it's supposed to be used for. MP5 replacement, I now as much, but I believe current vehicle crews (or it may just be mounted personnel) use AG3F1s.
