In fact you can play Russians as Blue and have NATO as OPFOR, if you create the scenario that way. True enough but most tend to think of Blue as Nato/west and Red as a possible/most likely adversarial nation. China, North Korea, Iran etc. I doubt there are many United Kingdom vs Australia scenarios made for example. To a Russian player the U.S. would be OPFOR. Perhaps I should say likely opposing nations to Western countries such as U.S. UK, France etc. The only one really represented is Russia. Just seems awkward to explain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In retrospect , yes What I am wishing for is a small AI vehicle patch (Not requiring game improvements ) For China, North Korea and Iran. Maybe 8 or so vehicles total. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know there are nations, camouflage and vehicle textures (that someone did!!) for East Germany, Czechoslovakia , China (1970s and modern), USSR, Russia(Contemporary) and Ukraine? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes , but they are using lookalikes or some of those nations are in game now In the case of China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equipment_of_the_People's_Liberation_Army_Ground_Force The BMP 3 would be somewhat close to a Chinese APC externally.

You can create any skin and "patch" to any vehicle as you like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, a small vehicle only release to add some AI vehicles that I think are likely to be adversarial to the West. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisWerb Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Realistically, I would guess that, because of the very significant investment involved, most if not all new vehicles introduced to SB from now on, are going to be paid for by military customers or created with the intent of wooing military customers and keeping the product relevant. That's why we have particularly seen highly detailed playable vehicles used by NL and Belgium, plus Russian OPFOR non-playable "prototypes" appear recently, for example. It's a big ask to request a completely new vehicle, so I tend to avoid it. Edited October 21, 2019 by ChrisWerb 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewood Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Not sure I follow the logic. I don't think any government body asked for a Chiefton, Centurion, or AMX-13. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisWerb Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Yes, there are a bunch of "nostalgia" vehicles in there, but AFAIK none have been added recently and even minor mods to existing older vehicles (for instance an earlier Leo 1 with passive IR sights which keeps getting requested) have not happened - I hope that changes. My favourite and far and away most used vehicle in SB is the Leo2A4. I would not ask someone for a labour of love on my behalf, though. That's just me.

Not really nostalgia vehicles IMHO. AFAIK Jpz Rakete (HOT) and Spahpanzer Luchs by comparison aren't in service with anyone anymore and others are getting rare, or extinct, at least in Europe (Leo1A5, M60A3, M901, T-62). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not being critical, just acknowledging that making vehicles, and playable ones in particular must be orders of magnitude more work than some of the other things requested, some of which have application right across SB, I am completely in awe of the vehicle interiors in particular. In fact, at 54 years old, I'm awestruck every time I play SB, and the only other simulation can say that about is Harpoon/CMANO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Colossus Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 an option for a random modifier assigned in the mission design quashing artillery or air support requests, representing those assets destroyed or suppressed, diverted elsewhere, etc.; included is a user defined radio event or dialogue box with the message explaining the situation as fitting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond_Villian Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) You could do this already by setting the artillery as available to FO only in the scenario editor, coupled with a 'damage if/ radio' event (for the FO, or the artillery itself if its on the map) based on time or random variable or whatever you want. It could be made available again in the same way ('repair if / radio'). The event that causes the damage can have a sound file and/or dialogue associated with it.
