mercenary/rebels GB

[Spey_Phantom]

just a thought here, what if we had a group build, specificly aimed at building vehicles for mercenaries or rebels...
were talking improvised vehicles, like those used in Libya, to old and modern tanks, ships, helicopters and fighters like those used in Ace Combat Zero and Area88 or even in Real Life like Africa.

some exsamples, Porco Rosso.

Ace Combat Zero (based on the above):

or even real life exsamples, like the Angolan SU-27UB flown by Ukrainian mercenary pilot, Igor Valenchenko.

In real life Mercs usually operate under the colours of their "host" nation, but in whiff world, you can always change that...

[ChernayaAkula]

Mercs, PMCs, rebels, I'd be up for that! 

[lancer]

Sounds like a good idea..

From an Area88 fanfic idea, all owned by one pilot.  Lineage is A-1E, F4D-1, F-102A, F-111K.  And yes, there is a smiley face on the tail.

[Taiidantomcat]

There is something unnerving about that smiley face.

There is something unnerving about that smiley face. 

That's what the bad guys think too, usually after weapons release...or after strafing an LNG tanker tied up to and hard connected to an oil refinery with mixed load HE/AP/Incind 20mm in the 'Raider.

[Taiidantomcat]

Loved those games ^ 

[dy031101]

Yeah, speaking of guns and improvised fighting vehicles, I also remember playing Tiberian Sun: Firestorm with modified unit data files such that I could build missile-armed RVs and use them to fend off Tiberian Fiends laying siege on a civilian settlement I had to protect during the GDI campaign.

Ok lets get this back on track...

I recommend - War Dog Fighting other Peoples Wars - Al J. Venter


Also this may be of interest - Video of Mi 24 in Sierra Leone

Bring on the Technicals


What was the name of that game, I remember playing it or something very similar involving flying a helicopter on my old Amiga.
