Hezbollah [NIA Edition] updated with compatibility fixes, MP signing.

The units have had most of the AK-74's reduced in numbers, replaced with the more common AKM and AK-47 in the region IRL, and the Radwan SOF team has been downgraded as the images I was using for references were parade/display gear, and they did not actually have enough of it to fight with. NVG's and more advanced gear are still more common in SF than infantry, but they should not look radically different as if they were a different faction.

Tanks DLC update-
Complete re-build of the faction from the ground up, with a NEW classname - OHZ

New units include a massive range of additional vehicles and static weapons, including anti-tank, anti-air and anti-infantry static guns, artillery and mortars, BMP-2's and BMP-2 HQ variants, T-72's both with and without ERA armour. Tanks DLC SPG-9 technicals have also been added.

The Infantry and SF forces have been rebalanced for ALiVE, so SOF should be rarer and infantry and support infantry more common. About a dozen new squad types have been added to the Infantry, Support Infantry and SF units, with stand-outs including ATGM and dedicated AT teams, medical, engineer and IED teams, as well as sniper teams as a SF group.

Hezbollah stronk!

Yeah, I do see what you are getting it, my problem was finding early model M16's. At the time I made this, none were around outside of Unsung (13GB dependency) and RH M4's (not available on the Steam Workshop and getting out of date. I may revisit them and add in a range of new units in an update, and the AK-74's were used really only to differentiate the more elite units from the basic infantry, as I know they are not very common.

One last thing, a weird glitch I found is that if you make a squad of Hezbollah in Dynamic Recon Ops, then choose a custom loadout for yourself, the loadout will be replaced with a basic Hezbollah light outfit if you use the steerable parachute. So you pick a custom loadout, you deploy via HALO, and at first your gear is right. Then you use the parachute and you turn into a basic grunt. Very odd, and only seems to happen with Hezbollah.

Use the mod, like it, but in my opinion you should change their loadouts from AK-74s. Its not inaccurate, per se, but Hezbollah has been pictured using early model M16s and G3s as well. Part of their support from Iran was those types of rifles when the Iranian military upgraded to domestic Khaybar bullpups and such.

Also, since practically no faction for ARMA3 (that I currently have installed beyond the Nam ones) is armed with early model M16s, it would provide a nice change of pace from the roughly 400 other factions more accurately using AK74s.

Notice- For ease of use the dependency list on Steam has changed to use the NIA All-In-One. The mod does not require every NIA weapon pack, and the individual weapons used can be found in the text for those who would rather use each pack individually.

Updated workshop page with new images and some text corrections.

Updated text- I WILL NOT refer to Hezbollah as a Terrorist group, instead they will always be refered to as a political and military group. Please do not get political in the comments- the arguements have been deleted.

RHS version released, find it here- http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1098686482

Bro please make an RHS version of this, the only reason I don't use this version is cause I only play with RHS or CUP mods for the sake of simplicity. I've been looking for a mod that depicts Hezbollah specifically for a while now.

ok thanks

Yeah, I probably should make a RHS version of this, I've just been really busy IRL recently.

will you make an RHS virsion?

thanks, I think i was actually having trouble with that the last time i played arma

Faction is now fully compatible with the Dynamic Recon Ops scenarios.

Mayhaps an RHS version of this?

A HAMAS mod would be interesting.

They look great man!!

Afghan National Army and ANA Commandos I have already done, so not sure if I want to do Iraq so soon after- I plan to focus on European and South America, or Asia, for now.

Yep, look at the discussion post linked- Kurdistan Peshmerga were planned instead of the Hezbollah actually, but were outvoted- I poll the discussions regularly as well. The Peshmerga and Israeli SF will for sure be coming in the future- the Israelis VERY soon.

I would suggest making an updated Iraqi Army and Iraqi SF faction. The current Iraqi Army faction from Iraq Syrian Conflict is SEVERLY outdated and lacking in detail. Some possioble factions you could make would be Iran, Pakistan, India, Hamas, a more detailed and up to date Peshmerga. An Israeli SF faction is needed as well.

@Capitalist Janitor

Figure out how to upload it.
And if you need help with knowing anything about the Israeli special operations units, I'm your guy.

thx for the lebanese army man

Sparta, the Syrian army mod already exists on Armaholic as well as the Iraqi army, police, YPG, pesmerga, ISIS and Al-Nusra. it's called 'ISC' mod.

IDF 4 THE WIN!

make syrian army mod plz
