It be like saying that China vs US or GB is unrealistic so it should be scrapped, the concept of them battling is perhaps unlikely but to create the gameplay desired these sorts of things need to be done, realistic or not.
No. A war between US/UK and China is actually not to same degree implausible as a war between Israel and Russia. It might not be likely, but it could happen, whereas a war between Russia and Israel just makes no sense at all (in real war, Russia would have other priorities and its power to invade Israel would be restricted by other western powers like the US).

But actually, the reason for my griping, as is clear from my first post, is that a conflict between MEC (since one exists in PR) and Israel would be much more believable than Russia vs Israel, and also gameplay-wise more prudent since MEC maps are scarce (from my understanding there is only 3 in .9, and one of them is overplayed, one is just bad, and one of them, Kashan... well, is quite a different case. The MEC have basically one map.).

Edit: response to the post below:

yes. the degree of implausability matters. One would say that a war between the Martians and the Australian Defense Force is more implausible than a conflict between Israel and Russia. likewise, an armed conflict between Israel and Russia is far more implausible than a conflict between Israel and its Middle Eastern neighbours, who've had a long history of armed conflict with Israel.

Doesnt matter to what degree you consider it to be implausible.

its fiction. end of story.

Relating to fraction selection, thats just how its turned out, im not aware of how it was decided but to me it seems like a good decision, rather then having the same old sterotype of MEC has desert maps or Russia has woodland its been mixed up so russia has a new desert camo and a new enemy. Just brings more variety to the game, which is imo what is needed.

Awesome work as ever. Really looking forward to the tank maps especially!

I for one don't mind interesting and new faction combinations. I'd even like to see BLUFOR v BLUFOR maps, like, USMC vs Brits. Could be explained as a 'training wargame' type thing.

I thought this thread was about map overviews? A nice gesture from the PR team to you, the community, to inform you about changes/additions in v0.9. Sure, you can discuss what you think about it, but don't drag it on and on and on, will ya? The next thing we know, you will suggest to send diplomats first, solve conflicts with words instead of weapons. Download the "Diplomatic Wars" add-on for Project Reality if that's what you want to do.

Let's get back on topic now, or this thread will be locked. Really, sometimes I wonder why we even bother to post threads like this!

That a war between a coalition of the UK and the US against China is not implausible.

Let's just say that MEC and Russia are allied (could also explain the NATO-Russian war). War starts between Israel and MEC, and Russia dispatches some marines from its Black Sea fleet to help their allies. End of story.
