Good so far ?

Going to say no to the fighter, as that is a tad eccentric. The rest seems reasonable.

[Arcerion]

Going to put an IC up tonight, I'm feeling like posting.

Cool. Mind helping me with the equipment ?

Not at all. I'd say due to close proximity to the SADU, a lot of your equipment will come from there. As for your air/land systems, you can just generalize for now. I'm using the Drachen III as my air system, its an Airmobile Assault Platform, it can carry troops and provide CAS. On the ground it will be the Chimäre Mk.IV Infantry Assault Carrier, a 6-wheeled vehicle that mounts twin 30mm autocannons as well as a lot of GPMGs and ECM. basically a land frigate.

So how heavily armed do you want your troops to be?

Since I am rolling with a hit and run concept, not too heavily armed. However, armed well enough to do good damage, but still get away. I am thinking along the lines of AK 47s and Uzis, but better.

[Sasutary Island]

Just asking, is it mandatory to fight in Africa, or can i be in like the UK doing my own thing.

Thanks for the thread. Always wanted a Great RP like this.

*psst* Don't say AK-47, say AKM! Cause that's the one everyone thinks of.

The Galil would probably be a half decent rifle and for an SMG I am thinking just an UZI, but upgrade it as need (likely a longer magazine, extended barrel and better stock). Then add some cool electronic trinkets and you're good.

What is your stance on body armour and exos?

ICG (Integrated Combat Gear): The ICG is a mash up of the most advanced combatant protection gear. From the head, there is a highly-advanced helmet that covers the entire face. The back side is made out of advanced ceramics that can stop anything short of a Sniper rifle round from 150 meters away, while the front side is made out of bulletproof one-way glass, which allows it to conceal the combatant's identity whilst also giving a HUD. There is then an advanced body armor that can once again stop anything short of a sniper rifle round from 150 meters away, and protective plating for the limbs. That is topped off with an exoskeleton that enables stronger human abilities and also advanced combat boots that allow maximum running efficiency.

The main service rifle is the MAR, or the Modular Assault Rifle. Chambered in the 6.9x49mm Round and having an effective range of 900 meters, the MAR is one that can be used for long range and short range engagements, thanks to its bullpup design.

They also do not use many air systems but they make it up with land vehicles and systems that allow for rapid deployment when the need arises.

Taggify. App in a few hours.

Loved it. Welcome aboard. Feel free to post in the IC now. If you are working for the US, NC and EC, I'd advise starting to fight ICAY, but we can discuss your opener. Any thoughts or motivations?

[Arcerion]

@Coldwater Overall, the app was okay. You need to dial back the number of operators first and foremost, and then re-evaluate your objectives.

@Ralnis Good to see you around! What do you need help with as far as gear?

@Prusslandia Objective is shaky, as we aren't looking to shape global politics via our own agenda, more how can we use the faction agendas to assist our own. So instead of take back Jamaica, maybe help fund an insurgency to weaken the government for a coup d'etat? As for the PPC, why would they have an interest in Jamaica?

[Palonitr and Howland]

I gotta ask. Where'd ya'll get your equipment or where'd you base it off from?

[Arcerion]

I run through a scenario in my head and think "What do I need?" and then I build my equipment off of that. Do you need any help?

Definately. Let me work on my app first then I'll TG you when i need help. Thanks for the offer.

What is your stance on body armour and exos?

Body armour is spread around pretty evenly, with the lower ranks wearing metal plates over bullet proof vests and leggings, while the upper echelon wears armour stolen from the Americans and Chinese. King Willie and the Chiefs all wear up to date exo suits in combat.

About my Agenda, they could care less about other countries. They are only interested in Jamaica, and will retake it at any cost. The Pacific Alliance was interested in Jamaica as they realized that if Jamaica was run by the Vodoo drug gangs, product would flood into the Pacific, specifically weed and coke/crack. This would raise crime in the Pacific, and they stopped it.
