There's lots of mods featuring US/Old Soviet tech, but I wonder if a Nato kind of mod might have some popularity.I would love to play a mod where the Nato side would have several flags and each flag would belong to a different country. So you know, you spawn at say the British flag, and you have british vehicles like the Challenger 2 to choose from. Spawn at Canada, and you'll have somthing interesting like the Coyote recce Lav-25.Just an idea I had that I'm interested in hearing feedback on

Canada has an army........... Wow thats a first. ROFL JK. But seriously except for 2 chopper (1 of em crashed). There is nothing else. But honestly i respect their decision. Why would u invest in a army? If someone attacks Canada US will be involved. If US attacks canada ur screwed anyway.

We've only got 31million people. We don't have enough for a WW2 massed sized army, fo shizzle :mrgreen:

Err, Canada does have a military, and it is in fact in high demand by Nato allies. Everyone wants a Coyote squad to do recon for them.

Didn't quite know where to post this but, this looks good, By the Way The Canadains do have a military, And an Airforce, I have been to Cold Lake Canada where they have a NATO sanctioned training called Maple Flag.

 

I found this site with some cool screen shots for a mod going to be out in the future.

I know they have a military i live in canada. But what i am saying is that it is rudimentary.

even belgium has an army not a big one, but we have one We are specialised in medical and transport.

wtf are you smoking!!?!?!?!

Canada having a bad army is a massive sterotype that people think is true, this is wrong.

As orion said, the recon team is in high demand, and Canada's snipers are some of the best in the world

 

 

 

Also, why make a Nato mod? There seems to be a lot of cold war type mods around, try something that hasn't been done. Yes, it may be hard to find an idea, but it'd payoff in the end.

How about a futuristic blood sport that sends its competiting teams into different times to fight? That way you could have maps (battles) and weapons and vehicles from all sorts of time periods

 

or how about an early-1930s mafia mod?

Mafia is taken up by GTA basically How about one where they put you in the middle of nowhere and make you shoot each other!!!!! Oh wait, that's counterstrike

Mafia is taken up by GTA basically

GTA is modern day

I'm talking about the America's golden era. You know, the old cars that went like 30mph, tommy gun, moltov cocktails, S&W magnums, springfield sniper rifles, the mafia man!

 

I have a game called Mafia, it's really awesome

Yeah ManoWar I see that in your location, though I prefer to think of Toronto as Detroit jr, and not actually a part of the rest of Canada :PBut the fact remains that Canada does have a good military that is useful in a support role for the US. Our newest naval vessels are cutting edge and almost always support US operations in the persian gulf by making up part of the pickets for US carriers. Our F-18 pilots are some of the best in the world and flew the most bombing sorties in Bosnia. Our high tech detection kits like those I've shown on the Coyote are THE BEST in the world, and are being exported to the US and other Nato allies. Canadian snipers rule as proven in Afghanistan... heh not to belittle US forces, but on occasion they request to take Canadian snipers with them when they do their more dangerous patrols in the rocky areas.You've been fed to much crap from the media, yeah the CDN forces have their problems, but that doesn't mean they don't kick butt. Wait until we get our strykers and can deploy combat armor to world hot spots. The problem right now is we've moved all our heavy armor from Europe back home, and the retorfitted Leopards are not suitable for rapid deployment, and since the Strykers are coming, we're not spending upkeep on the other armor (like the cougar) we use for UN missions because they are being phased out.Don't forget that Canada has ADATs as well, but since there are no air targets where Canada is deployed, you never hear about them, even though they also completely own light armor.

Reason North America hasn' been invaded is not the United States, but the COMBINED might of the US/Canadian alliance.We have our differences, but if the chips are down, we'll rip apart a common foe like a hot knife thru butter.

Canada have a good military but only combined with USA without USA Canada isnt so strong. And how do you know what Canadas snipers are one of the best??? And bombing raids in Bosnia it was nothing,normal trainded pilot could do that because they had no danger of getting shot down,it would be different things IF Serbians had jets.

Actually, every single country has it's strengths and weaknesses. Canada has some very good equipment and training. So does England, Germany, the US, etc etc etc. That's one of the reasons for an alliance, people bring more advantages along with differences.Every country thinks they have the best of something. Each country has the statistics to prove it too. The closest thing the Coyote can be compared to for the US is the Stryker, and to be honest, the Stryker bows chunks. The US military should import Coyotes, those bad boys are sweet.Now before anyone else down the path of nationalistic pride and spews a one sided line about "this country's military is best" just remember, if ANY one country had "The Best" military, there would be a lot less different countries than there are now, and a lot more wars. Human nature > national pride.

I wouldn't say it if it was a lie

The reason the bombing runs are so impresive is that Canada flew 10% of the missions while making up only 2% (18/800) of the deployed Nato aircraft. In other words, each Canadian pilot flew 5 times more missions then any other nato pilot because CF18s are reliable in all weather bombing.

 

Edit:

"As soon as we got rid of one guy, another would come up, and another one."

 

OMG, we're sniper spawn campers

Actually it was a joke that comes from the stereotype. I went to army last summer for some $$$. Its true they have okish newish equipment but they are not big in numbers. Like Snauhi said i dont think canada could win a war with most other country's by itself. Atleast thats my opinion. Also except for the special forces. Most of the regular armies are what you would call wuss. They cant take heat, running etc like for example russias army can . They cant stay without 1day of ration (and in romania's reserve army that u have to do for 9months once u reach 19 they feed you week old beans) just so that u get used to hunger . Those are the weak sides of the canadian army. The plus sides is that they have really good special forces. (u cant say best in the world because u never know).

Well yeah, I know we can't take on other countries by ourselves. Like I said, our military is setup as support to the US during real war, and we do it very well. Also, have you noticed that our JTF2 special forces now has triple the budget it did 3 years ago?It's pretty easy to see which way Canada is moving. Heavy Armor is getting tossed, old LAV-75s are no longer a priority and will be phased out, coyotes are being retrofitted for recce/command duty, Various Stryker models are coming in, and JTF2 is growing rapidly. Looks like they have a clue afterall, as it seems that Canada will be idea for rapid deployment missions in 5 years or so.Which is good, not only for fulfilling Nato obligations, such as seen in Afghanistan, but also for UN emergency missions, of which we learned the hardway when we were unable to rapidly reinforce our early Sarajevo mission and Rawanda mission when they needed help.
