Persian Gulf ground assets?

Well ED is modeling SA-2, which is used by Iran so Im pretty sure we will see some new units to fit this theater. :)

i hope we get to see some insurgent type units:

- insurgent fighters with ak47 and RPGs

- snipers

- technicals with various heavy machine guns

- field-modified humvees etc.

- mortar teams

 

^This... and civilians, on foot, more civilian cars especially "unarmed" Pick-ups etc. so Mission Designers get the possibility to create scenarios were ROEs really matter.:thumbup:

Where in the Strait of Hormuz would any of this come into play?

 

Don't say "Iran invades Dubai." :megalol:

Ranger79 Objects Mod Pack has already almost everything you mention, except the Snipers.

 

Take a look at this mod.

 

Also DCS has Insurgents with AK fine modelled.

Forget ground units - if war breaks out in the Strait of Hormuz, it's going to primarily be an air-sea war, save for land-based anti-ship and ballistic missiles and air defenses.

 

What I want to see is more commercial air and sea traffic to simulate the crowded nature of the region's airspace and waters. That's where the ROEs are really going to matter and they matter every day in the real world.

 

Save the insurgent/terrorist-hunting for the Caucasus or a potential Syria map.

Wishlistish, but a third neutral coalition would be handy for that shipping,,,

And you ability or inability to protect neutral air traffic and shipping can help or undermine your campaign... :thumbup:

We do not talk about mods.

I fixed the technicals from Rangers Mod to a more reasonable version with corrected speed, armor, turn radius, acceleration and with proper Dshk (not just reshaped Humvees) and added some simple "insurgents" (just retextured Paratroopers so they don't look like wearing all the same uniform)...

But we need this in DCS core. Independent of the map and everybody installing "mods" or having issues passing integrity checks.

 

And most definitely a third neutral coalition and civilians to model asymmetric conflicts with their complex ROEs.

That is what mostly shapes today's conflicts.

The best option is adding those units to the core game, of course, but is a good resource.

Yes, definitely. No offense meant. Just that I would see a set of typical insurgents and technicals in the core sim... The Hescos and other barriers would be fantastic as well. :)

Here are a couple of units which I think would be relevant for air-naval operations in this theater:

 

-CSS-C-3 Seersucker shore launched anti-ship missile (Iran)

-Hwasong-5 Scud-B SSM (Iran and UAE)

-Rapier short-range SAM (Iran and UAE)

-RBS-70 short-range SAM (Iran and UAE)

-Bofors L/70 40mm AAA (Iran and UAE)

The structures are every bit as important.

 

Being able to place buildings of various shapes and kinds is just as huge in mission design as the enemy targets & personnel.

 

Right now all we have is the caucasus looking stuff which is great on that map, but out of place anywhere else.

There are actually some very nice shacks, huts and other from stone, that look pretty convincing as arab style buildings...

Only the textures are totally outdated and low.

Though I wouldn't mind some detailed middle east / afghan compounds, and definitely HESCOs, prefab accommodation etc. for better FOBs or outposts.

We do have hescos and some of the other stuff via mods.

 

Even the default map buildings would be cool to have as positionable objects. Most of what I use NTTR for is pretending it's afghanistan.

Mods don't work well in Multiplayer and Mission building.

 

You can use the default map buildings with a script, but it would be nice to have all these buildings, hescos, prefabs, civilians, civilan cars/PickUps and Insurgent Technicals directly integrated as DCS assets.

 

I tried to include some stuff from mods into a particular Multiplayer mission a while ago.

It is very inconvenient. As soon as somebody "new" joins, he needs to have all the mods installed...

Do you mean something like this? :D

 

 

 

 

Of course we need a insurgent compound to locate.......

and, yes, there are camels.........:D

We will really need some Iranian navy ships in DCS if we're gonna have this map.

 

AND ground based anti-ship assets.
