are we able to get anything off the USI team?
if so for AA and stuff rather than the expensive and limited tunkuska i rekon using the SA-9 Gaskin, in conjuction wiht he ZSU-4 Shilka would be more suitable.
however that requires support from them, maybee if chanvlan's BMP-1/2 is good enough we can trade for some stuff
also i was think of having a game mode like insurgency but where there are several assetts that need taking out, for example im working on a quite hilly map that could be made to look like the golan hights in syria. i was thinking of making it so the british have to destroy several AA emplacements to allow a strike by Tornado GR4s on targets in the east.
i think the SA-3 GOA would be the type of AA that would be used rather than the stupid IGLAs.
ill try and gets some wips but unfortunetly my textures are all green in game

yeah johhny i intended using the SA-3 Goa as an objective to be destroyed by the BLUFOR team not to be used in game.
IRl its used byt he syrians, iranians, iraqis, Saudi ariba so i think it could easily be used by the MEC

yeah i was thinking like 2 BMP-1/2s maybee one BMP-3 for mec with AAA emplcements and pill boxes etc. And the brits having 2 challangers a scimitar and a warrior, i was thinking maybee an apache but with the AA i cant find an excuse to fit it in, however in Desert storm wernt apaches used to take out SAM sites? Basiccaly its insurgency mode but with a better equipped opfor and SAM sites instead of caches.
Now what would be cool is if you have to take out an SA-10 grumble as the brits

(joke) however the syrians do actualy own 4

We are not likely to have a BMP2 for a while, untill either Chanvalan or some DEV models it. Most likely get the BMP1 first.
well dude do you want BMP-1 or BMP-2 more?

ok here is a quick overview of the terrian in the editor, bear in mind this is still got a lot fo work to do on it. if the terrian the hills and stuff isnt right i can easily change it with my terrian generator or edit this one. i know it looks flat att he bottom of the hills but its not.
pic of a hamlet im working on, probably wont be in the map as im just practicing with the buildings and stuff.

i think i might try and see if we could get a spandrel on this map, just needs a recolour i think it would be effective for ambushes and stuff in the valleys
