Can be there a mix ?
Or different APC for different map ?
I mean WZ would not bring nothing revolutionar to gameplay,
but I think that few African countries uses them in good amount ?
And I bet that it is not so hard to reskin,
even I can do that . . .But it would look shite XD

I have one more suggestion,yes one more . . .
But I think it is good XD
Design plan says AU will use SVD as a precision rifle in Sniper kit,
but that would be stupid cuz no one in PR uses Semi-Automatic sniper rifle in sniper kit,
so I think that AU should use SSGP1 (SSG69),wikipedia says Togo is using it,
or SV-98, yeah,there is no Afr. nation that uses it,but when China can have this,AU can also,
I mean China operates with many Russian weapons,Africans also,so PR team can
make exuse if gives this to Africans
Anyway,Austrian one looks as a more realistic option.
Also Black Insurgents can use ''standard'' insurgent rifle from PR in sniper kit - SMILE with optics.
Despite SVD is in my opinion best DMR in PR,
SVD in Sniper kit is not fair to compete with other factions.

I have too one good suggestion.
The support kit : why there is a PKM?
I think it wolud be great if FN MAG will be on standard support kit.
PKM(or HK-21) can be on alternative support kit.

Personally I would love to see FN MAG as first option in the AR kit and
PKM as a alternative,but I think that PR community don't have MAG model.
HK21 as alternative MG is also good idea,because it is used by many African countries.
But personally I would pick Degtyaryov machine gun as a PKM alternative,
it is available to PR (PR:Vietnam have model),it is in use today in many of African armies
and it have such a crude old school design which would fit very good to AU or ARF.

The FN MAG's model is finished more or less for next patch, actually.

Really ?!
Where you did find that information,any picture ?
That are good news then,
it seems that MAG would be AUs primary MG in the end . . .
(according to old design plan,FN MAG was their primary MG,while PKM second)

That is indeed good model,
but I think that is American version of MAG,
am I wrong ?

Top one is the FN MAG, bottom one is the M240B.

Dear French friend mate,

Any news about African Union ? Will they show up one day on the battlefield ?

Here is a pretty useful video showing the sorts of terrains and landscapes that you would use on one of these maps
Sudan's Forgotten Warriors | VICE News | VICE

Very interesting video!

So are we gonna see any of the 2 new factions in 1.0?

Who knows.

probably you, the other devs, the tester team...

It seems that I will eat my own ball sack if at least one of these two factions
(Conventional one especially) wouldn't be included in 1.0.
I feel very bad every time when i think that I didn't had some way to help in developing of these two

all developer of this faction dissappeared .. just sayin

I've got a couple of suggestions:

AU:
- It should use western or south african weaponry (e.g. FN FAL, HK G3A3)
- AU would use some imported european vehicles, especially french (like SA330L Puma, Alouette III, Panhard AML, SA342 Gazelle), south african (Olifant tank, Buffel APC) or british (Land Rover), maybe from some other countries (like Super Hinds);
- Uniforms should look simple and light. Maybe some basic PASGT equipment with a khaki or disruptive camo (maybe Rhodesian Pattern) uniform.

That's all for now, folks. I think I could draw some concepts and post them here, but it may take some time.

(I know the devs are gone, but I'm writing this just in case)

As I said time ago - the best weapon for Machine Gunner is FN Mag as standard and HK-21 as alternative.. For Automatic Rifleman the best weapon is RPD(good to see in Vietnam) and for alternative RPK. PKM is in all unconventional armies here and in some conventional and, the most important thing - it isn't known in Black Land like FN MAG or HK-21. We can use HK-21 vanila model. FN MAG model is done, RPK too.
