PMCs

[Madman]

just an idea for a PMC faction after reading another thread. thought it would be cool. kinda like militia but with western equipment and actual uniforms. for vehicles, maybe no MBTs but more APCs and instead of a techie maybe an SUV type thing almost like the one in Arma 2 with a mounted gun or just for transport. what do you all think?

Personally, I've always wanted to see this style of faction along with a MEC faction from PR

It could be pretty interesting if done correctly

Not necessarily what you'd find a norml squad composed of, but definitely an interesting faction idea. I wonder if it wouldn't need more of a focused game mode, though.

Who would you see as the primary opposition to a PMC?

Ins and Mil. I can see Invasion layers where Ins or Mil are the attackers and the PMC being the defenders working really well.

definitely Insurgents and militia as primary opposition as i can't see a PMC fighting a conventional force like the US very realistic.

as for game modes, insurgency would make sense although since it doesn't seem to be played very much invasion would be the next best thing. i would say a new game mode where the PMCs escort something from one point to another but i don't see it fitting in with the rest of the game as it would probably have much shorter matches. unless there has to be several trips made turning it into more of a supply line defence game.

PMC and MEC would be top tier, especially because of unique equipment.

Spec Ops ie navy seals/sas would surpass them in terms of equipments and training. Esp fire support

Only problem with Ops is they don't truly work in large enough groups as is on Squad.

Definitely the Unconventional Forces.
A INS/Militia With PMCs defending would be really fun.

What if instead of MBTs and APCs, the PMC get little bird helos with mini guns or rocket pods?
I think that could make an interesting assymetrical balance to factions with heavy armor.
They would be a sort of light air assault focused faction.

I just want a gamemode where I can play as a civilian

That type of game mode (convoy / escort / etc.) would be pretty sweet I think.

This would be a fun idea to try. Conventional forces have to deliver X units of victory supplies unusable as regular build or ammo to a radio/radios on the edge of the map, within a certain amount of time or with a certain amount of tickets. MIL/INS get extra spawn points. I feel like in practice though this game mode might actually be extremely unbalanced and frustrating. >.>

@Bammer95 - I did not write that.

Looks like a formatting mistake on their end. If they don't fix it I'll remove it

Thanks, but no worries - nothing bad was said. I think it may have been a Steam glitch? When I tried quoting Bammer's post and replying with "I did not write that" underneath it, the new post (my reply) would be in quotes too (without my doing). Weird. I've had that happen a couple times before.

It's just how formatting works on Steam. Anything within the quote parameters appears as a quote. For example
