[Faction proposal] Croatian army

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

Today, I am here to present you our proposal and development plan of Croatian Armed Forces (CAF). My little team and I have been working (better said "struggling") on some of the stuff to get our little faction working, and now with some stuff in our hands we think we can present to the community.

First, to put our goals:

1) Gain more members who would like to contribute some of their precious time for this project

2) Develop a new gamemode (we have already done the brainstorming but we had no means to put it into the compiler [lack of knowledge])

3) Finish our faction somewhere in future :)


But enough of talking, let's get to the real deal.

(Please note, all of the models are heavy WIP or they need to be checked if they are still available to us)

First, Croatian MBT - the M95 Degman
Image

Next one, SAAB JAS 39 Gripen
Image

Heavy Anti-Tank, RBR90 "Osa"
Image

This is just some of the stuff we managed to do, we can't throw everything out, can we?

Next thing we also have is our design plan. So feel free to check it out ;)

And now, some RL shots ;)

(I know it's not much, but it does the justice :D )

Now, not to forget (as CroCop would kill me if I don't do this :D )

Currently, there is three of us working on this thing. Amon, who is our modeler; CroCop, who is mapper and me, acting as faction coordinator and trying to get on with coding. We're kinda new to the modding, all 3 of us, so...

We're RECRUITING
. All modelers, skinners, mappers and ESPECIALLY coders are more than welcome. There is plenty of job to be done, and us three can't do much. :)

(Feel free to suggest, we will certainly appreciate any kind of input at this moment. :)


With regards,
D.K.
;)

Looking good mate, considering you already have a few assets and models done its coming along well.

Good luck competing with the other factions ;)

Do you plan to be an opfor or a blufor faction?

BLUFOR. However we are planning to make a new "Militia style" OPFOR somewhere in the future

Well, Blufor... but not in a way other factions are, because we have plans to make our faction revolve around the gamemode we're planning to make. :)

Sounds good, any leaks on what this new game mode could entail?

I'd like to. But I also think that we have given (for now) too much to see. If this gets accepted, I will surely say what do we plan to make.

I'll tell you one thing: How is war in Afgan today supposed to be waged? ;) :D

But we also don't want to get in Afgan, as there is every single faction, as we have plans to move into some different landscape, like Balkans and such. :)

Excellent idea, a Balkan theatre would ROCK!

Maybe you could go to war with the Serbian faction eh?

Maybe, but that's another story that we really wouldn't like to talk about now.

But Balkans are sure... ;)

Good Ideas, but croatian airforce does not have gripen. Please post pics with markings, most advanced fighter they have is mig-21. Also the tank m95 degman is still prototype not a production unit.

The DEV's already said they didn't want extra BLUFOR...So I wouldn't count on a seperate part of the forum (like most other community factions have). Although you gotta talk to Dunehunter (IIRC he's the boss for this kind of stuff) about this.

@Andy: We plan to create some kind of paramilitary forces so that we have a fairly real theater of war. Of course, we will probably put one map in Syria as there is our 2. largest unit (1. one is in Afgan). The thing is, every bloody comfac is in Afgan, so we want to make a change.

@Ĩetnik: I wouldn't be posting any of these things if I didn't checked them three times. No more, no less. First I have my uncle in the HKoV (Army), another uncle in the HRZ/PZO (Airforce and AA) and godfather in BSD (SpecOps Battalion), which is btw, major (brigadir) and is 2nd in command. So please, next time you go for bashing, at least check what is the real situation. Currently, due to economy crisis, both M95 and Gripen project have been put on halt for another year. And AFAIK, PR is set slightly in the future.
If you can, please refrain from Croatian news and portals (full of shit) and Wiki. Check international sources, if possible, ok?

We cool now? :)

I never doubted you that grippen was planned as serbian novi avion is planned also but budget sucks anywhere. In creating our faction we are using what the serbian armed forces has right now. I thought that was the reason In PR for the removal of btr-80 in mutrah and adding the btr 60. I tought it was something about the btr60 being more realistic as it is commonplace in middle eastern area??? I believed factions used whats in the armed forces right now but maybe one of the mods can clarify?

Yeah, but in PR you have to think slightly in the future, like 5 years, maximal.

Thing about BTR80 is that it isn't exported to foreign countries, and BTR60 was made as substitution...

My understanding was that the BMP-3 and BTR-90 (the one in vanilla BF2) were not exported, wheareas the BTR-60 and 80 were. The BTR-60 was an old version, a placeholder model from Vietnam mod Eve of Destruction, and was always meant to represent the BTR-80.

Yes... my mistake, I keep losing myself in those numbers... it was BTR90, correct.

BTR 60 was created by R-DEV Drav and it was simply the BTR 60 because that was the first model to be finished from the BTR series... the BTR 60 will be replaced on some, Not all maps by the BTR 80
