How 'bout an Israeli-Arab wars mod or maybe a Korean War mod?
How about the original Battlefield w/more realistic tanks (i.e. a Tiger Tank
thats could easily dispatch Shermans w/little to no damage for ranges of
over 500 yards)?
Personally, I find the whole idea of the USMC invading China ridiculous. The
Chinese military could easily obliterate the USMC. China ain't no Iraq. Just
for the record:
The PLA is moving toward overall reductions and reorganization of both
personnel and equipment, with the long term goal of a smaller, more mobile
force. The ground force is divided into seven military regions and 27
military districts. The number of regions may be reduced in the near future.
In total, China has around 40 infantry divisions, 13 infantry brigades, 10
armored divisions, 12 armored brigades, 5 artillery divisions, 20 artillery
brigades and 7
12
helicopter regiments. In addition there are 5 infantry divisions, 2 infantry
brigades, 1 armored brigade, 1 artillery division, 3 artillery brigades and
three anti-aircraft brigades that are independent elements of the PLA, and
not assigned to a group army. China also has three airborne divisions.26
Most Chinese ground forces are equipped, however, with obsolete arms in poor
condition. There are around 10,000 tanks in the PLA inventory. The majority
of the tanks are old models based on 1950s or 1960s technology and many are
probably not operational due to poor construction and maintenance.
AIR POWER The Peoples Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) has around 3,400
aircraft. The majority of these aircraft, however, are near obsolete combat
aircraft. China has acquired around 150-170 modern fourth-generation
fighters, the SU-27 and SU-30, from Russia.27 The SU-27 is used primarily
for high altitude interception, is capable of travel at Mach 2.35, and
carries radar homing Alamo air-to-air missiles and Archer air-to-air
missiles. It is highly maneuverable at high altitude and has been compared
to the American F15C. The SU-30, with a range of 3000 kilometers, has the
air combat capabilities of the SU-27, as well as ground attack and close air
support capabilities. The SU-30 gives the PLAAF the capability to fly
missions far from the Chinese coastline. The PLAAF, however, still has
limited capability to conduct ground and naval support and air-to-air
interception. The PLAAF also lacks off-shore long-range bomber or long-range
strike aircraft capability. Pilots are not well trained and would have
difficulty sustaining a prolonged air campaign.
For comparison, the USMC has less than 500 MBT's and the entire USMC has
only four divisions. The USMC has less than 500 planes. Once the CCF got
going they would obliterate the USMC regardless of training, tactics or
strategies.
