benpark Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Not a new unit per say, but I'd like to be able to purchase company level assets without having to delete the rest of the parent unit for QB's and scenario creation. That and some "standard" (non Stryker) infantry units for US forces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinty Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 As an MP I would love to see M1117s modeled. But on the plus side you can model an MP Squad in the editor. Just take a supply squad and fill the empty seats in the four Hummers and Voila instant MPs! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roter Stern Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Originally posted by JasonC: I want to see - AGS-17 automatic grenade launchers Those are already in, actually. You can find them as independent "Grenade Launcher Platoons" part of the Syrian Infantry. However I haven't seen them appear as part of any Bn or Coy TO&E. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieme(ITA) Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Thanks for the infos on the Zulfaghar! About the "units I'd like to see"... well this thread is becoming a bit too much "impossible wishes" I'd like to see in CMSF... For example: you can't ask for a vehicle such as the "famous" russian "black eagle", and this is just because this black eagle doesn't even exist as far as we know (don't be fooled by mock-ups!). Asking for some other tanks like the T-90 might be correct but keep in mind that the Syrian context has its limits. So CMSF will exit this context (and we'll see some kind of such units) OR we stick to real possibilities, vehicles that could really be included in next expansions. This is the only way we can help BFC... BMDs, Zulfaghar etc. actually seem to be good ideas. I'd add the Safir 74/86, some kinds of T-55 with ERA (1st gen) but diplayed in differend layout than the one proposed in the game (which is the russian layout!)...

track Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 - Ubiquitous ZU-23 23mm AA guns, would be nice on all those airfield scenarios for Syrian side - weapon has been mass produced. - Transport helos - Maybe some modern Soviet/Russian armor T-80, T-90 variants 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amedeo Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Speaking of weapons that Syria actually has (or has a reasonable chance to acquire), I'd say: ZSU-23-4 SPAAG BMP-3 IFV T-12 ATG RPO-A launcher (the latter just to have a man portable weapon actually capable to collapse a small building with a single shot ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelmia Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 .50 Sniper rifles (Barret, MacMillan, whatever) 7.62mm miniguns- lot's of vehicles have them Choppahs! I want to be able to rappel soldiers on the roof. 14.5mm AA Machine guns (ZPU-4) ZU-23 Shilkas More HMMWVs with guns- like Mk19s, miniguns, etc. M60 tanks (Desert Storm and Israel) Challenger tanks USMC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There once was planned an "ahistoric subsection" for the Red forces that would include vehicles not in the Syrian inventory. I wonder if this is still in the works? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

average Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I'd like to see:- 1. Zu-23, Zpu-4, 57mm AA guns, used in both direct fire and anit-aircraft modes. 2. Manpads - SA7,SA14 for Syrian forces, to at least give them some change of beating of repeated Apache gun runs; 3. Syrian field artillery, 122mm and 152mm tubes, without indirect fire capabality on map, remember its a US breakthrough, you are going to overrun batteries (at least ones that haven't been smashed by counter battery); 4. M113's for HBCT pogues; and 5. Light UAV's, the Raven most likely, perhaps as part of the Scouting element of the SBCT and HBCT formations. I am however open to correction on who owns the goodies for that one. It would be a very useful addition to the M707 for sniffing out trouble in complex terrain.

ribster Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Wasn't sure where to post this, but will the patch include force selection. I know it's pretty limited, but I don't like setting up a qb and not being able to select the forces I want. Cheers, rib. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Actually T-64 is in Ucrainian inventory (reserve). Since Ucraine is likely to selling off weapons it might be an option, although still a bit too far away... Shilka has no part in this game since its role is not covered in actual game simulation... Speaking about guns I think that much more than any 122mm or 152mm (consider also that they wouldn't have good optics for direct use) a 100mm BS-100 could be applied (last AT gun in russian inventory and quite exported). Finally I'd support ZSUs definitely, since they are very very common. Some other additions: MTLB BTR-50 these vehicles are quite common as troop transporters and artillery tractors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
average Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Well the tubes are not going to be much use in a direct fire role, although I'd guess the Russians have splintex rounds,heat rounds aviable and emergency sights for their tubes. They are good like that. Be an interesting match up, Stryker Co+ against a Syrian battery or batteries. Maybe with some rear echelon types in support. Could the Strykers nail the gunners or would it end very badly if the Syrians had the guts to stick the guns and get a few rounds off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Well, something like that happened. During '73 war an Israeli brackthru' Egyptian lines reached a SAM battery of SA-2. It is sure the egyptians fired point blank some missiles (and they are quite huge AA missiles) to incoming Israeli tanks, but without success... Anyway I still think that would take too much effort to make such units just for a very rare situation... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FkDahl Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 From a Syrian (defensive) perspective mines are, or should be, very important. Heavy use of anti tank mines is the only way an infantry force can significantly delay a modern mechanized enemy... coupled with good defensive terrain, good anti-tank weapons, snipers and mortars ... (think of Lebanon). During my military service the proper and generous use of mines was stressed ... including mines that explode after X vehicles have passed, mines connected with other mines 5 m back on the road (for the mine clearing vehicle), tamper proof AT mines, or side impact HEAT mines (could be an AT-4 or RPG-18 with a trigger ...). And also fake mine fields mixed with real... all that good stuff. I must admit I have no idea of the mine inventory of the Syrian army, but the Russians are quite fond of mines so I figure they have a bit... any of this modeled in the game?

Pete Wenman Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I'd like to see more field defences. Improved positions into which a heavy weapons can be placed but with low profiles and hard to spot. Trenchs with overhead cover (kip sheets anybody ?), fortified houses, and other prepared defences. We are going to need them for CMSF-WWII The MG bunkers included are more like UN Peacekeeping Observation Posts ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOG Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I'd like to see some Polish troops. Right now they are in Iraq and Afghanistan, so why not in Syria. They would be actually quite easy to do, some of vehicles are already in red force. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
