jkobmadrid Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'm only playing CMSF, nor a designer or anything, but i really think that an israeli army should be in this game. Israel is fighting for years agains syria and the hizbulla gerilla supported by iran and syria. in 2006 summer israeli launched a big operation agains hizbulla in lebanon on the northern israeli border. the idf has it's own israel's made tanks (merkava mk I,II,III,IIII), and other vehicles and systems. ("gil" for ex, AT missle like the javelin). i don't know if it;s possible to add tanks and vehicles to CMSF, but if someone is interesting, i can give all the information needed, incl' spec, pics, units and modes of operation. is it possible? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich12545 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I think that would be totally cool as an official module. Way better imo than the brits or whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Red_Rage Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yeah, Israeli and French are two very interesting armies than never get any love from game developers. Both are very relevant with Middle Eastern theme, certainly more so than Germans, Dutch and Canadians (3rd module). Being Canadian myself and having served, I have to admit that we have NOTHING interesting to simulate AFV wise, and the most advanced anti-tank asset that i had used (and seen for that matter) was the peak of 1960s technology - Carl Gustav (in 2006). I can't imagine Dutch being much better... As for modding part - as is such coversion is not possible. All units in the game are hardcoded, so nothing can be really changed with exception of textures, unit voices, UI icons and other cosmetic alterations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLeftFlank Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yeah, it'd open up a decent sized new market for this game too. I suppose the biggest potential market would be China -- argument for a Chinese module (Second Korean War, Taiwan invasion, Central Asia intervention vs. Russia), but then the game would be pirated in about 2 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkobmadrid Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 well, isn't it possible for mod designers to make a mod of the abrahms for ex ,making it look like the israeli "merkava"? i mean the specs will be the same but it will "look" like a "merkava"? i see here color changes etc, isn't that the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkobmadrid Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 thanx john, it is nice to know there is such a book. a quete from the study, added by the americans:"What made the critical difference was the IAF's (Israeli air force) constant retention of the anitiative and it's clear superiority in leadership,organisation, tactical adroitness and adaptability". anyhow, the records are 100 to none in the whole lebanon war. this made syria to change the strategy, abandoning the air for ground to ground missle strategy, and a defensive approache. jkobmadrid, In the biggest clash, 90 IAF fighters, with every advantage in the book including real time observation of Syrian takeoffs, against 60 Syrian fighters.

John Kettler Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 jkobmadrid, It's also available online, but for reasons I don't quite get, didn't post properly as a PDF link. If you search for it, you'll find it quickly. Here's the search phrase I used. air strengths syria and israel 1982 Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khagler Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 For what it's worth, I would definitely be interested in a historical module for the 2006 Lebanon war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Whilst I don't agree with the statement that the IDF would be cooler than the Brit module there is a clear case for the whole Arab Israeli thing over the years - points of reference and equipment and TO&Es that covers the period from the late '40s until now. That would be great and I'd love to see it. Also I think Battlefront may have the terrain sorted already 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Combatintman, With equipment dating as far back as WW I for AFVs and artillery; probably pre 1900 for rifles! Oh, the possibilities! Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
