Comments for WIP Report - Switzerland Mod

You really think someone is going to say "hey, they have Swiss army models, I am going to buy Arma?"

Yes. I've seen it happen. Some people got interested of the game because their military forces were modeled in it.
Besides, it's very good quality stuff and I'm sure there's a lot of more people playing with them than your "3". I also agree totally with Rewan's statement.
Also, some people prefer to play with real armies instead of fictional ones, so addons like this are all welcome in my opinion. But if we're talking about larger militaries (US, Russia, China), I think those have been covered 100 times already. We need something different like this.
Of course everyone has their own opinions and are not interested in addons like this, but the work has been wasted? I disagree.

Donkey Punch:
The IC-ArmA tournament uses the Switzerland mod and FFAA for the 2 armies (we got bored of OPFOR vs BLUFOR) and it's one of the biggest ArmA tournaments there is.

It's not because it's not YOUR army that you don't have to play with it...

I am french and using some custom minimods, SWM, FDF, CSLA, FFAA, OFrP...

My comment above isn't meant to be critical of this mod specifically. There is a lot of talent in this community but I think they are wasting it. Lets be realistic here, how many people will actually use this mod?

Personally I think there are more people in love with making addons and missions for Arma than there are people actually playing it.

In my opinion mods like this make the community bigger when the swiss people see that their army is also being modeled to the game, thus making them interested of it.

You know great work and all, but I never understand why people make country-specific mods that only 3 other people will use.

Arma 1 has been almost killed by BIS because of massive bugs and security issues. It has taken them nearly 2 years to get the game to a playable level and we still don't have a dedicated server for 1.15 patch. The number of people still playing Arma is pretty low.

Add in very country specific mods like this and we see even less people playing together.

There is a LOT of amazing talent in this community but it is all wasted.
