Well on the topic! i want some Vietnam DLC
Here's some prime Canadian Forces combat camera goodness. Let it never be said that the Canucks don't have stones. We're gentlemen off the battlefield and professional soldiers on it.

Wow, thanks for showing me that one, Coyote. Hadn't seen it before. Scott captured some awesome footage with our guys.
Unlike Germany, Canada took a fighting role in Afghanistan and has the next largest fighting force in Afghanistan after Britain. Germany has more soldiers but German policy is to keep them in safer areas away from the fighting. That's why despite deploying fewer soldiers Canada has suffered 150 casualties vs Germany's 44.

Keep this bs about "fighting role" and stupid comparisons who got more dead/injured soldiers out...
Better write down what you would like to see in a "Canadian Forces DLC", what is typical/must have.
The point being that while many nations have forces in Afghanistan only a few actually impact the combat operations, and it's those few we would presumably want to see implemented first if the goal is to represent Afghanistan realistically. I do not care for the debate either but several people here are apparently ignorant of the role Canada is playing in Afghanistan so it seemed worthwhile to correct that ignorance.Originally Posted by NoRailgunner
One weapon that's missing is the Arctic Warfare sniper rifle which both Canadian and British snipers used to set world records for longest sniper kill, in Afghanistan. Maybe that's coming in the British DLC, that would be nice. If implemented properly then ArmA players could join Counter-Strikers in moaning about how unfair that gun is

Improve your googlefu and you will get some more informations about "fighting forces" in Afghanistan.
As for AWM you may missed BAF - weapon section
So what else is typical for Canadians?Long Range Rifle (LRR) is a British designation for a AWSM (Arctic Warfare Super Magnum) sniper rifle. It is highly prized as a dedicated long range sniper rifle that combines the easy handling with the great power and range.
Oh, so TRYING to avoid mindless political discussions reminds you of YouTube comments?? Rrright.
It's not really the mention of Iraq that boggles my mind, it's the continuing obssession with George W. Bush which is what YouTube comments seem to be all about these days. But yes, lets move on. Nothing to see here.
Now to get back to the topic, I'm surprised at my fellow Canadians here that there is no mention of the fact that the CF is using the Leopard 2A6 over there. Having a Canadian DLC would be a great excuse to finally have the Leopard 2A6 in ARMA 2. Especially since it actually is being used in the 'Stan along side the older Leopard 2 variant.

To put this discussion back on track, what I'd like to see:
- CF-18
- Leopard 2A6
- LAV III
- ADATS AA
- C7, C8, C9, C14 Weapons
- ERYX AT
- Canadian Infantry
Anything else?
Missions/Gamemodes - F.U.B.A.R. (WIP)
Mods/Addons - Green Sea Conflict (WIP)
Resources - ArmA 3 Notepad++ Syntax Highlighting
BIS has a habit of adding stuff that hasn't been put into service yet.
I think we should also see: F-35s, Chinook, CC-130, CH-146, and CH-148, and the G-Wagen.
