[Faction Proposal] Latvian Forces

Has anyone thought about the Latvian Army for PR? Lately, (in my search for their unobtainable unique ACU) I've been doing a lot of research on the Latvian soldier, not so much on the army as a whole, but I'm moving into that soon enough.

Anyway, the US Army has been working with the Latvian Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan cooperatively as what looks to me to be "in field training" seeing as the Latvians are the new kids on the NATO/EU block.

They have all but completely fazed out standard NATO gear like 3-color Desert cammies and old G3's for their own Latvian Arid Digital BDU's (in an ACU cut) and Custom G36's with B&T top rails.

I know you guys have a LOT on your plate already, but I figured now would be as good a time as any to throw this out there. I don't expect you to get to work on this any time soon, but I appreciate what you all are doing, you've made a fantastic game that will be played for years to come!

Here are some pictures to supplement my wall of text. BTW, I know I've only made 9 posts, but I've done a lot of lurking, and I've been playing this game since V0.6

This looks like it would be a fairly easy project, mainly reskins of GF stuff. However no more BLUFORS are currently being accepted as we already have a lot (10?) of BLUFOR Community factions.

So either you ignore this and develop this faction on your own, or turn your attention to helping one of the established community factions :D

As other factions are made, the pieces for this one would gradually fall into place (G36..Glock 17..) Patience is what I'm counting on :D

I really would help if I knew how to model texture or compile.. I tried making a Crye gen1 rig for Fallout 3 once, but I got horribly confused...

EDIT:: BTW, has anyone thought about North Korea as an OPFOR?

Maybe look at doing this faction once we have a few more ingame? Also i think you might have an image size violation on your first image in the OP :p
