[Durkie]

I can assure you that they are aware of the ship

Its a bit large to miss but I posted it just to make sure they don't

[Kapt. Kroon]

Good idea, but me wants to play a dutch soldier first ...

[eenis]

how many marines does the Netherlands have? are they more along the line like the U.S. Marine corp or the Royal Commandos?

Its not really like the US Marine corp. They have everything they need. I'd say its more like the Royal Commando's but there training does not involve all commando thing. We still have our own Dutch Commando's. But thats not the Dutch Marines.

Good to know, but keep in mind this is for when the Army faction is done we first have to complete that before we can move on to the next thing.

But that doesnt mean you cant start on a community map

Show us you got the skills and ill send you a sketch i made with my l33t mspaint skills for a beach assault /jungle map.

[MCI]

Will do but my so far experience is only for BF 2 and FH 2. Going to practice on PR before I show you guys anything.

Question: You are giving those marines player models black barets eh?

uhh....Doorn is not even close to Rotterdam, its more near Amersfoort .
Anyways As a soldier in the army Im forced to say I dont like the marine Id... Just becose they are marines.. . J/K good luck with that, Ijust find it to early to announce.

[MCI]

You would rather see the a Limburgse Jagers division then Royal marines huh?

[Z-trooper]

I can understand why it will be a great idea to include the marines.

First of all it sets the Dutch faction more apart from the other blufor factions and gives the opportunity to launch amphibious assaults as something else than the USMC faction.

It also brings new theaters of war and scenarios to PR.

It seems Z-man is one of the few that actually get the point .

the point is obvious... its the same point to why it would be nice to have the Royal Marines and the PLANM in etc, its just a lot of work epically when you consider the factor of an Assault Ship / Carrier to launch a Amphibious Assault from.

[Glimmerman]

Yeah Z man is spot on

Ever since BF1942 midway, wake island, omaha beach and iwojima in vanilla bf1942 and DC/DCX ive been hooked on amphibious landings

For a LPD to be modelled we have plenty of time, like mentioned earlier army first, marines later and we can use the essex as place holder like all factions do

[Durkie]

I've never seen another faction than the USMC that use the essex

@ least some 1 gets the point

We would not allow the essex to be used as a place holder... No other faction is using it apart from the USMC and as such, you will need to make a LPD before you can have a finished Amphibious Assault map in PR.

[Durkie]

Don't get me wrong I am looking forward to do a proper beach assault the Dutch way. And its a good thing that you don't want to wasted modelling time by waiting for the maps to be finished.

Go on and finish this mod and the Marines fast, But Quality first.

Then we will wait for it to be finnished, we got seas of time before we need it.
