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

- Other soft dependencies (S&S, Free World Armoury, CUP weapons,...)
- Winter version of some faction
- More complex group and units
- More vehicles
- 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.

@von Funfkirchen
It sure does contain infantry. Although, I have no idea why you might have none.
von Funfkirchen Mar 5 @ 5:04am 
Does this contain infantry? I have all dependencies + soft dependencies as well yet none of the factions have infantry in the editor.

@Teutch
Sorry, was busy and couldn't respond in-time.
Do you plan to add retextured BMP-1/2 and BTR-70 into Finnish roster?
Is so, I'd like to help, if provided with some guidance. If you're interested, reply over to my discord that's in steam profile. I think it'll be more convenient for both of us to hold conversation there.
