Free Asian Force vs Peoples' Leadership of Asia
*cough cough* WORLD DOMINATION *cough*
Names are rather rough, but the focus of the mod is east asian nations vs a certain superpower.

Both factions are "conventional". I honestly think we would benefit from overall kit differentiation between superpowers and middle powers. FAF would be a midpower, while PLA is a superpower.

The majority of equipment in the FAF are used by South Korean military forces, but there are also Japanese and some American origin equipment as well. Environments of interest for the faction are the Korean DMZ and southeast asian locations.

The FAF have two tank choices just like the MEA. The ROK provides one up to date and performs like the M1A1, and while Taiwan's gift is unique to the faction. The M60A3 is rather outdated but is generally better in performance than the T-62, and allows a few non-crewmen infantry to ride on it.

The FAF also has a motorcycle (Honda XL250, with a paltry 128 km/h but very sharp acceleration and better off-road handling) as an easter egg in some maps, mostly those that take place around Japan. Because there are no sappers on this faction, this vehicle is basically unimportant like the LUV-A1.

The PLA's equipment is obviously going to be from one country only.

I'll add more as I get more ideas.

Free Asian Forces Vehicles

K1A1 MBT (Korea)
Performs similarly to the M1 Abrams and has similar ammunition. However, its AP Sabot rounds have lower penetration than the Abrams' version and has much higher muzzle velocity.
M60A3 MBT (Taiwan/ASEAN)
Performs similarly to the T-62 (including infantry transport) and has similar ammunition. However, it has higher penetration than the T-62's gun and loads faster. It uses the M240C as its coaxial machine gun.
K21 IFV (Korea)
(Honestly I don't know that much about the differences between IFVs. This one's tracked.)
CM-32 IFV (Taiwan)
Eight-wheeled IFV.
AAV7A1 Amphibious APC (Korea)
Very lightly armored and very poor self-defense capabilities, but can traverse water.
FV101 Scorpion (ASEAN)
Reconaissance vehicle, tracked. A light tank with a max speed of 82.3 km/h.
Type 96 Wheeled APC (Japan)
Stryker variant.
Type 16 Tank Destroyer (Japan)
Stryker variant. Armed with a gun that can penetrate tank armor, but is lightly armored relative to one.
KLTV182 (Korea)
Sort-of like a Humvee with an exposed gunner turret and a smokescreen launcher normally found on tanks. Armed with M240B GPMG.
HMMWV (ASEAN)
Exposed MG or TOW variants.
V-150S (Taiwan)
Similar to TAPV and BDRM scout cars.
Isuzu Forward aka Type 73 Heavy Truck (Japan, ASEAN)
Logi/transport truck.
Toyota Hilux Technical (ASEAN)
(Maybe.) Weaponized variants with western armaments. No logi/transport variants.
UH-60M Transport Helicopter (Taiwanese colors)
Already in the game.

Honda XL250 (Japan)
Easter egg in Jensen's Range.

Free Asia in Summary

Good:
+ Extremely high vehicle diversity in a conventional faction
+ Massive amount of choices in what kind of weapons are available
+ Above-average Machine Gunner and Automatic Rifleman kits
+ Above-average anti-infantry performance
+ LATs don't kill with backblast, even though the shredded plastic doesn't do much for visibility
Bad:
- Extremely bad AT, engineer, and crewman kits using worse weapons than other conventionals; either the AT doesn't do its job as effectively or the engineer is easily killed; because of that ammo costs for those kits are much lower
- Emplacements and friendly vehicles heavily encouraged for dealing with other vehicles

This thread is going to be reviewed and changed to accommodate not two factions, but four, because of the setting idea that I made in another thread.

China
Free Asia Pacific (ROK, Japan, Taiwan, with ROK taking on a major leadership role)
India (Indigenous-supplied arsenal of vehicles, light mortar, C-90 launcher, AK, Negev, and FN MAG)
ASEAN (barely conventional faction with old western equipment)

No one wants to post here, probably because the concept you have made is extremely political.
