Cold War Factions

Description



This mod seeks to recreate the great nations of the mid-Cold War in a simplified but consistent way. However, while only the RHS mods are required as a base, certain mods are considered soft dependencies, i.e. they are not required to run.
So the more you add the non-mandatory mods listed below, the more complete and realistic the mod will be (adding retextured vehicles, replacing weapons and uniforms etc).
The aim is to make the immersion as complete and light as possible for our poor PCs.

Infantry types are currently simplified into three categories per faction (in skill order):
- Conscript or Militia
- Regular infantry
- Paratroopers or Special forces

This is obviously a small start compared to the amount that still needs to be added, and I'm not a big pro.
So I'm looking forward to your opinions, advice or even suggestions for help !





Hard dependencies (Compulsory) :
- RHSAFRF
- RHSUSAF
- RHSGREF
- RHSSAF

- More complex group and units
- More factions...


1.0 UPDATE REACHED :
Certainly the most important update for this mod, Name switch from "Cold War RHS Retexture" to "Cold War Faction" as successive updates quickly outstripped the original objective.
Now playable in a stable manner, Last major issues have been fixed (Mod Signature, Zeus Groups, etc.)
The major factions of the Cold War are now presented in a more consistent and complete way.

ROAD TO 2.0 :
The aim now is to expand the list of soft dependencies and factions in general, and to improve what's already there (Textures, Indep Factions).
And above all add new vehicles that don't exist on arma 3.

No zeus yet?

For some reason OPFOR units do not appear in Zeus interface, so they cannot be spawned through Zeus, while BLUFOR can. Otherwise absolutely amazing mod.
Kiryuu Sonya Sep 1 @ 7:53pm 
So I have a bit of a problem. In the Eden editor, I have the normal list of Cold War factions, but when I am in Zeus, even when I set it to use official and unofficial addons, I can only place Cold War soldiers for the BLUFOR side, and I can't place any Cold War units or vehicles from the other sides.
At the moment, the only way I've found to bring in Cold War faction vehicles or non-BLUFOR units is through using the reinforcement option in Zeus.

Would Switzerland ever be added in their alpenflage glory?

Hey Teutch, thanks for great contribution, I have massive interest in cold war era and it's a relief seeing many factions of cold war era, but I can't use factions in zeus, could you fix that please, it's about config i guess

Dutch conscripts were armed with Uzi SMGs, had a normal uniform yet only had two mags. In the mod these guys are like the most equipped Dutch soldier of the time, but in civilian clothing.

also, the french conscripts use the mat-47 smg, it have in 3cb, you can put it, to be more accurate
