[Proposal] African Army Faction ?

[Serbiak]

After very different feedback in the "Suggestions and Feedback" section and some suggestions to post this in the "Community Modding" section.
I know that this cannot be done in the near future but perhaps after some community factions are complete.



First of all: I know that posting pictures and information is not even close to develop the army for PR.
It´s just an idea for the time after the new modded armies are finished.

(I thought of starting to help with some modding and developement work, but I still have to learn it since it sure won´t be easy) I might try something and see if I´m able to do it and if so, if you appreciate my work .


I think it would be great Idea to introduce an African Army, like an African Union Army. I only found weapon systems from South Africa though but they might be the most advanced army in Africa anyways.

My Idea would be to let the African Union fight against Rebels similar to the Insurgents and or conventional armies. The fights could take place in a new jungle terrain as well as in the desert or the veld.

I think it would be a good idea because a big percentage of the conflicts and wars in the world take place in Africa.

Just let me know What you think.


Here is what the army could look like: (According to the information I found in the internet all of the following is used by the South Africa army)


The Pistol: Vektor SP1
Modern Firearms - Vektor SP1 and SP2 pistols




The Assault Rifle: Vektor CR-21
More info for the CR-21 here: Modern Firearms - Vektor CR-21 assault rifle
and here: Vektor CR-21 - Wikipedia




As well as the CR-21 with the 40mm Vektor grenade launcher:



A taste of the scope:




The Shotgun: MAG-7
Modern Firearms - Shotgun MAG-7



Or: Neostead Shotgun
Modern Firearms - Neostead shotgun




The Mashine Gun: Vektor SS77
Modern Firearms - Machinegun SS77




The Sniper Rifle: Mechem NTW-20
Modern Firearms - NTW-20 Sniper Rifle



Or: Truvelo .50 sniper rifle
Modern Firearms - Sniper Rifle Truvelo .50



They both are designed to be anti material guns so they probably are not useful for PR.




Vehicles and Aircrafts

As for the tanks, helicopters, jets, armored vehicles and missiles I found this page: South Africa Weapons

Again: it only shows the military arsenal of South Africa.



Fighter Jet / Bomber: Cheetah C (which is retired)
Cheetah- C

Or: Saab JAS-39 Gripen
It has been developed in different versions (one with two seats).

I am pretty sure this is a resuggestion, but I agree. Long time ago som1 mentioned a somalia map, but I think it might have been dropped.

The AU are a great idea.

True.

[Fonveh]

Why not just call it the "South African military" then? I can assure you that the average African Union member won't have anywhere near this advanced hardware.

[[R-CON]Z-trooper]

sure would be fun with a lot of this equipment. All very different from all of the other factions.. especially the western factions.

[Serbiak]

I hope you can see all the pics, cause the first ones are messed up (at least I cannot see them)

EDIT: OK they work again

[google]

No, noooo! Too many new factions...

[Waaah_Wah]

Damn those tanks are ugly

[Feuerwaffen]

Why all 12.7mm and 20mm sniper rifles? or cough* anti-material rifles cough*
