Also voicelines and maps must be done, we think that can be good to make some maps of some of the last missions that italy took part like Afghanistan in 2015, Iraq in 2014, Lebanon in 2006 till now, Libya in 2013. But also some fictional battles, maybe against China, Russia or MEC.

We have a low number of people in our community that is able to do this kind of stuff so, if there was anyone willing to help us it is very welcome.

I hope you like this thread and I really hope this project will see the light of day sometime.

I wish you a nice day and a good 2023!

Looks great! But, maybe you could show us the maps to make these convincing to work into a playable faction. Since devs encourages maps for a new faction (maybe at least 2 maps and not using other maps as placeholder).

These also need images, just for a reference and a design plan. Would love to that one personally.



All i can say is good luck on this faction! Hopefully not ending up like the previous thread-

OBV i 'll try to find some satellite images as reference for some maps! Thanks for the advice

In last period of Afghanistan Resolute Support operation, ended in 2021 with US Army troops retreat Italy was in Herat, Badghis, Ghor and Farah.



Herat could be a very good looking map:



I'll keep searching for more maps

I have one question, but do the Italian tankers have their own crew helmet and what is it called? Or is there a CVC American or British AFV-400? Thanks for the answer
