dimitriov Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Hi guys, I'm gonna need your help on this one. So as I'm more and more advancing on the Frenchpack, I'm starting to get short on ideas. Next FP will feature a Leclerc module with displays etc. Then, I may consider making an European pack. Nations would be : - España : BMR600M1, Caballeria VEC, Centauro - Großdeutschland : Wiesel - Italia : Centauro - UK (If you don't have left us yet you bloody traitors :megalol:) I'm perfectly opened for other countries if you use domestic made gear, not USSR/USA made vehicles. I need your suggestions. - The pack only includes ground vehicles. - The vehicle was still in use in the specific army in late 2000'. - The vehicle has a combat interest (forget about trucks). - The vehicle features sufficient public datas (Pictures, loads of them) to make it in a proper, realistic manner. If you can bring some websites with as much pictures as you can with your proposition, it's better. The initial goal is a 15 vehicles pack with same quality standard as the Frenchpack. First release would occur by mid summer 2020. Nicolas Edited November 27, 2019 by dimitriov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fer_Fer Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I'd suggest the Bushmaster. The Dutch army operates 96 of them since 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marques Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 dimitrov, as you are doing Spanish army´s combat vehicles, what about the Pizarro? and also a modern version of the Leopard 2, as the spanish leopardo or the A6/A7 versions, mainly taking into account it´s more powerful gun, should be nice also. Aesthetically are all more or less similar (specially to be used in DCS) so I guess just one version may be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lleviatan Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I share what the partner "marques" says by adding the Spanish AMX 30 derived from the fránces or simpler, a Spanish skin for the existing AMX 30 model regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avimimus Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 This may seem like an odd request... There were designs for AFVs with elevating turrets with ADAT or later Trigat missiles, and sometimes other weapons. The idea was to elevate sensors over surrounding terrain and line of sight obstacles. This would allow a vehicle in dense cover to take out helicopters or tanks without facing line-of-sight issues. The end of the Cold War terminated these projects, but some of the Trigat ones apparently reached hardware and they would have been in service by now. I think they would provide a very interesting air-defense unit for us Ka-50 pilots... a possible "present day" asset and a window into what would have been if the Soviet Union didn't break up...

Avimimus Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 This thread has a German article and a short English language report on the 'Panther': https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/panther-anti-tank-anti-helicopter.715/ One might need to log-in to see the scans though.

dimitriov Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) Problem is that it wouldn't work as expected in dcs. As far as a vehicle is in a forest, no matter if it can see above trees or not it is more or less fence out. I may make a little try with an edit of one of my vehicles to see if it is viable as it's true that it could be a cool vehicle. But no much hope there. For the spanish amx 30, the frenchpack model is not mine but chewme one, and he decided to leave the team so I cannot do it unless I would myself recreate an Amx 30 from scratch, which is doable but I'm a bit lazy for this vehicle. You guys should have bought leclerc lol, as the next frenchpack addition will be a leclerc with interior and systems.

lleviatan Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 It is true, the Spanish AMX 30 is not the same, so I would propose only one skin. It is for a little bit of nostalgia, I was in a military unit to support the AMX. Greetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
