[New Faction Proposal] Czech Army forces

[Redfox]

Well like I see it will be hard to find some people here to help with this project. I know its hard but people look at it like this: You can be a part of team which is helping to create one of the best mods (I cant even say mod because this is best game). So people help us

Now we have team of:

One data collector
One mappers
One 2d graphic (me)

and official assistance of project-reality.cz team. Hope this is not bad for first day, and if you are interested join us too. When I will have enough of members I will release a working plan (on which Im working now).

[Wilkinson]

good luck with your project, finally someone suggesting a new faction and actually having a idea about what they are doing!

Biggest Facepalm ever...


Anywho. good luck on the project. I can help coding wise if needed and If I end up with free time. Create a spreadsheet for your design plan. the kits, weapons, vehicles, skins needed.

Its a good starting point

Biggest Facepalm ever...t

how so?

[Igloo35]

looks cool. i'm sure if you want to have it bad enough you can get it in. maybe put a few modders on payroll to speed the process up.

I'm sure it would get priority

[Redfox]

Thx everyone. Wilkinson Im really glad you offered your help. I will try my best but will appreciate any help from you contact me through pm so we can talk about it later or I will contact you it doesnt matter but really thx. And Igloo yes I was thinking about it but Im not in good situation with money right now so I cant but I will do something with it

[HangMan_]

Good luck recruiting for your faction! Post on some other forums aswell, it helps to get a greater variety of people interested in the project

Update up new members ...

Hi, there was a very successful CSLA mod for flashpoint, you might get some help + advice from the developers CSLA Studio

But when it comes to ACR, I don't know what to think about it. I mean we have 14 planes reasonably useful in NATO operations and 24 AMRAAM missiles?!? People around here are not very much into war and tend to ask questions (NATO was involved in many conflicts, how many times was it was actually a defence of one of the member states?). I was in the army with Anti Air Def, 80% of people I work with served in ACR and we all agree that our army is a disaster with a possible exception of few elite units. Maybe the mod could be focused on one of these.. like 101 vysadkova divize..

The best way to start a mod is to make a design document. A simple list of things that need to be done. Weapons, kits, vehicles, scenarios / maps. Collect reference info, pictures and videos. Then it's possible to get it rolling, if you get enough skilled people onboard. Good luck.

Just something to think about.. In 2002, our unit had 1 old rocket out of fuel and 1 disassembled rocket. When it was decided that we have to protect the airspace over Prague, we were reinforced with a mobile AA that was actually supposed to work. Our command did place many patrols around, none of which had ammo (but all got baynets to look cool). The only guy who got ammo was a retarded soldier from the kitchen (but a really nice guy, otherwise) with fat glasses who never managed to hit a target on a firing range (but almost shot the instructor). We were told that if we spot an unidentified aircraft, we should wait until a guy with a radio comes by, then we can report it. There were guys smoking dope all over the place. When this operation was over, I recieved some sort of award (maybe for not falling asleep in duty). This is just my experience, maybe someone else has seen it from a different perspective.. There is no doubt that ACR has good units as well so that is why I'd like to see the mod focused on them instead on the whole army...

[SkaterCrush]

Also see if you can find someone who's been in or is in the military recently as a military advisor. Just to ask them a few questions if you have to, because you wouldn't want to make a big mistake and not be able to fix it when you release it

[Redfox]

Thanks for advice Skater we have one KorbenDalas (our data gatherer) was 10 years in our army Now we are creating plan of our (vehicles, technics, weapons etc.) and splitting them to kits I will put a paln here when it will be finished.

[Redfox]

Well Claymore I understand you. We have KorbenDalas in our team and he was in our army for ten years. Like you said he has opposite experience than you (dont know where he was) but I think it would be bad to say we have a horrible army. I think we have great army not whole but thats not about it. I think our paratroopers are best in europe and not only that we have alot of good divisions etc. Im now working with Dalas on a plan (what vehicles like dingo 2, Tatra 8x8, weapons SA58 with scoop etc.) to use. PLan will be soon finished and we will put it here hope you will change your mind. In every army are problems not only in our gl man

[Claymore]

From what I know all looked promising until the funds were cut and minister of defence (Tvrdik) resigned in 2002. Then the plans for future started to look pretty grim. There should be more money reserved for fuel, maintenance, ammo and training. I talked to a guy from the artillery, they were supposed to relocate 3 ShKH vz.77 (dana) and none of the three moved at all. Tatras are very reliable vehicles, which only demonstrates how bad the maintenance is. Similar situation was the relocation of APCs in front of radio station Free Europe. I think only 1 arrived there by itself. SA58 is great - easy maintenance, good reliability. Except for the version with collapsible stock. There is a screw that always gets slack by itself, which severely disrupts your aim and can eventually result to the stock falling off the weapon completely.

Here is an interesting thread about upgrades in ACR (czech)

[Hauteclocque]

how so?

He must have been thinking your sentence was ironical, apparently it's not the case.

Good luck for your project, setting up a faction is not an easy task I think you realized that.
You need to be persistent.

[Redfox]

Claymore thanks for your link it will be usefull for us

Haute thanks Im and I will be persistent. For me its my dream to have CAF in PR and I will do anything to make it even if it takes me few years

[Redfox]

New update of team CAF members (new modeller and video creator).

[Redfox]

Well our team is growing and still upgrading we have now crew of seven members. Everyone is hard working on their part in this great job. I hope more people will want to join us and help us good luck everyone. When our crew will be full we will put here our working plan with specifications about everything

[DankE_SPB]

make a design plan asap, this will help you to get new members imo

[Redfox]

Danke: yes I know but its not easy to do it it will be really much detailed and we are still thinking about what to use for which kit what vehicles choose etc.

[HangMan_]

Well we are part of northatlantic aliance, we were and are fighting in Irak, Afghanistan (as I said before) and others countries like Kosovo, Litva, Uruzgán, Bosna and Hercegovina, Makedonie, Kuvajt, Turkey there is alot of countries with which we can operate

Im still working on a plan with a whole list of who we need. Im sorry it takes so long I just want it perfect

Isn't Uruzgan a province of afghanistan

So the czechs are fighting in Turkey? That could make for an interesting scenario. Most of the places you've mentioned sound like UN operations. If the czechs do get made then there could be some interesting scenarios for them just looking at some of the theatres you have listed. Good luck

[Redfox]

Hangman sorry my bad, well Im not good with geography thats why I have my team members as well as for data gathering and yes you are right it can be really interesting we are trying to make a best scenario
