Hinds, Little Birds, and other missing vehicles/units.

Can we expect to see more vehicles/infantry units officially added to Modern Combat? I noticed that our Russian, German, and Chinese friends are missing transport helos for example. Would also be interesting to see other US special ops units like SEALS, Delta, Air Force Spec ops.

Don't forget Gurkhas, Royal Marines Commandos and SBS... 8)

MC needs more "present" day vehicles especially for the Marines. There's models/vehicles like the AAVP and the CH-46 Sea Knight that are still more common than things like the Expeditionary Vehicle and the Osprey. It's just really hard to find models for the near future stuff.

MC needs to be flexible enough so that we can have wars anywhere between the late 80s to 15 years from now. It already is kind of flexible with the current army list, but it needs to be more flexible for late 80s/present day units.

 

[Lord David the Denied]

Agreed on those points.

perhaps a project for somone to work on once theOGL is released?

Also why do Russians ONLY get BMPs and not BTRs??

Same thing for MEA government troops, they should be able to take M113s or pretty much any current APC/IFV. Not to mention plenty of non-indigenous tank types and other gear. It's understandable that the lists are limited in the rulebook or it'd be twice as big, but there are quite a few holes in them. I'm sure most players could sort out stats for pretty much any vehicle they want to use (or just use the stats of an official vehicle that's similar in design) e.g. the BTR-80A is practically the same as the Chinese APC, just tweak the armament. Of course, the trouble with that approach is if your opponents disagree with your interpretation

Wouldn't surprise me if Mongoose have some sort of vehicle compendium in the works, or expanded army lists to take in other nations.
