LDF 2020s

Description
Since Livonia became a NATO member state in the early 21st century, the Livonian Defense Forse has been gradually moving away from the influences of its Soviet past, inheriting some older weapons and integrating some of the newer technology NATO has to offer. While there has been a significant push to modernize the LDF infantry for a modern battlefield, Livonia has decided to mostly retain the dated yet functional tanks and APC from their Soviet past, leaving their heavy vehicles at least a generation behind contemporary options.

Factions
-LDF 2020s

I find that the units work well as a 2020's era LDF, or as a 2035 era Livonia National Guard-type unit

Weapons
The primary rifle is the modernized G3A4 EBR from GM
The LMG is the LIM-85
Sharpshooters are issued Cyrus rifles, due to economic ties with Chernarus
Launchers include the FIM-43, Spike, MAAWS Mk4 Mod. 0, PzF3, and M72A3 LAW
Livonian special forces have been authorized to field test and evaluate the MX and Mk200 caseless series of rifles for the US/NATO replacement of the 5.56mm and 7.62mm cartridge.

Features
New uniform variants! Uniforms typically have black gloves and color variants.
Paratroopers subcategory
Gunners subcategory (to minimize clutter)
Special Forces subcategory
Mixture of Eastern and Western vehicles

Future Plans
*maybe* just make Aegis dependency and make Arid version as well
Switching the exterior of Offroads to Olive paint rather than Geometric camouflage
Belarusian Sepratists OPFOR faction. Gear to include: guns lying around, guns stolen from the LDF, and guns supplied by some "partners" from the East. I made this mod many months ago for an op using that as an opfor concept, and is only related to current events by coincidence.

ahhh, now I see. I think that you are using RHS models.

If a T-72 ever gets added to GM or WS, I'd do it. TBH I haven't touched this mod in a while, though.

Very nice mod, good mixture of weapons and technics. Only think which is weird are tanks. Only T-55 in 2020? Is it possible add T-72?

@TFatseas That's a good idea - I think the reason I didn't do it at first was because of the tan frontgrip, but that shouldn't be much of an issue

Any thought about the LIM-85 as the SAW for the regulars/Paras?

The Mk200 would make sense to go along the the MX rifles with the SF guys as it also uses the caseless ammunition.

Just spit balling an idea.

@Poet All vehicles already exist either in Arma 3 or are from GM. I intended to retexture a few, but the hiddenSelections[] config didn't want to work. That being said, all the vehicles the faction has should fit canonically within the 2020s at some point. For example, the MRL on the Zamak/Kamaz was canonically introduced in 2021.

does it come with new vehicles?
