i always wanted to play a modern version of a D-day mission. im not requesting anything that isnt already available in the mod such as new models etc. just a mission that incorporates the elements that would make an awesome beach landing mission. such as

setting: definitly make it a middle east theater,such as one of the small islands located in the persian gulf that is near iran and iraq, capturing it would be of strategic importance for the usmc, or perhaps a "taiwan" map where the usmc is invading the island to remove an entrenched PLA that already has conquered the island.

forces: i think it would be a good idea to possibly have 2 carriers loaded up with LAVs and very few blackhawks and mini-birds and a few cobras, maybe even F-35s so people would mostly have to get a ride on a LAV if they wanna get off the carrier and into the fight, thus avoiding a "muttra" situation. for the defenders, lots of bunkers and machineguns etc some AA emplacements, a few tanks to help defend against the swarm of LAVs

objective: theres a million possibilites here but perhaps the MEC has discovered oil on a small island in the persian gulf {hey you know its the near future the stuff is running out lol} and the usmc wants it as well, thus an invasion. and obviously the taiwan scenario would involve the usmc trying to eliminate the PLA presence in taiwan.

i think it would be so cool, sitting in the back of an LAV with your squadmates while it races toward the island being defended by well entrenched MEC forces, overhead cobras and F-35s are pounding the island to soften it up. as you get near the island you hear the pings of machinegun fire bouncing off the LAV then it lands, the LAV shoots a smoke ring and orders everyone to dismount, you jump out with your squad and immediately hit the deck as tracers fly all around you. it would be so cool, and very doable i believe. thoughts please everyone

You mean kind of like Gulf of Oman?

Re: Operation Barracuda:

In terms of mapping, we have two great maps coming your way. [R-DEV] Irontaxi is working on "Assault on Mestia" and [R-DEV] Duckhunt is working on "Operation Barracuda". These guys have written some brief description of their projects, and have included some great images!





"An attack by the UK Forces on a Chinese captured island in the Pacific. The map will feature amphibious, helicopter and cliff Assaults, tunnel warfare and jungle operations. The PLA are using a mix of newly constructed military camps and re-occupying delapidated world war 2 structures. The primary UK mission will be to destroy PLA communitcations hardware."

wow that uk invasion map sounds sweet


and yeah gulf of oman is sorta like what im talking about, but it just doesnt seem to have that "feel" to it you knwo what i mean? i think people concentrate too much on the choppers as transportation. they would rather wait for a chopper to respawn then hop in a LAV plus theyre is not much in the way of beach defenses, its almsot like you are invading the backyards of the bases set up on the coast its kinda strange i think i mean if i built a base right on the beach i would put about a million gun emplacements facing the ocean but its not like that on oman.

that would be so sweet I can already imagine what it would be like to run through a hail of bullets and diving to a prone position behind a LAV sqeezing of a few shots getting back up again throwing a nade into a bunker clearing it .... ah that would be soo good

Hills of Hamgyong is pretty much D day in its set up
