UDT/Frogmen

[jty3]

I don't know if there will ever be naval operations or combat aboard a ship, but if there is a beach landing I would love to see American UDT/Frogmen.

[malika]

What are UDT/Frogmen?

[jty3]

Underwater Demolition teams, the precursor to the US Navy SEALs. They were divers and swimmers often armed with little more than a set of fins, their shorts, a knife, and some explosives. The germans had kampfschwimmers (sp?) or Combat swimmers as did the Italian Naval forces with mini subs. They would infiltrate beaches to clear the way for amphibious landings or attach underwater demolition charges to enemy ships.

oh okay like so, I almost thought you suggested humans mixed with frogs Sounds like a cool ideas, but I think that naval conflicts are something that might come waaaaaaay later in this game since we are first trying to get the basics done for normal land conflicts.

Something like this



This “Seal” is equipped with the most sophisticated neoprene diving gear, designed to prevent loss of body temperature even during prolonged missions in deep and
cold waters.
The weapons are a Colt 45 auto., a Boys dart gun and naval demolition charges.

Yes, that would be very cool for infiltrating or scouting. It doesn't necessarily have to be combat in a naval setting, but troops which infiltrated earlier and are now operating behind enemy lines.

For any Russian naval troops:


Underwater variant of the AK-47...

[warlordgrubnatz]

i like the idea.
we could have similar diver-commandos that swin onto the shore then saboutage enemy defence or infiltrate enemy facilities.

[jty3]

Sabotage and recon, that's what I was thinking!

[warlordgrubnatz]

like in that bond film, were bond lands on the shore and saboutages the power staition or somthing.
