Well, WizardWorks/Sixteen Tons had that sort of mindset and look what came out, 1 police truck, 1 SWAT vehicle and 1 transporter. You've gotta think about the realism, imo.

[theocd]

Sixteen tons decided that having single purpose vehicles made for challenging gameplay, if you had a fire truck that could do rescue and extinguish fires and be a ladder truck (e.g. a Quint) then there would be no challenge. For this reason, the London Mod bulks out with duplicate vehicles whilst fulfilling the prerequisites of the game.
That said, DPG vehicles have no place in normal policing duties, CO6 almost exclusively deal with diplomats, MP's, the PM etc.I know they provide Armed Assistance when a shout goes up and they're fully equipped to respond but that is a rarity. Due to the lack of missions that could involve the DPG, it was decided against adding them at least for now.

Heh, you don't get my point, what i meant was there is not enough vehicles in the vanilla game, it was pretty much a if you don't need it, it's not necessary thing. Whereas mods like Manhattan Mod have unmarked police, several battalions, RAC, all unneeded things.

[theocd]

And you've missed mine, I'm saying duplicate to a point - that the London Mod currently does - several marked and unmarked vehicles, HART Units, the FRU vs USAR etc. and more things will be added but its unlikely your gonna get numbered Ladders/Trucks as per Manhattan or every variation of unit that could be seen in London (St John, Red Cross, BTP, CNC, MoD Police, CoLP etc.). Also, all Ladders, Trucks, UMPCs, RACs etc. regularly get deployed to the calls that are within the scope of the game's Freeplay - DPG most likely wouldn't Please don't see this as me raining on your parade, I'd be as happy as anybody else if DPG made it in
Hope that makes things clearer, but I feel I can't communicate well in type today...

Loving the mod so far, very good effort you have put into it. One thing which would be interesting and perhaps incorporated into the mod is an ANPR system to pull over cars which would work similar to pulling over vehicles and handing out tickets. The Met will be using new Skoda Octavia vRS to replace the BMW area cars and Volvo V70's to replace the BMW 5 series (I think). Below is an example of the livery.

Just a small idea and it is entirely up to you whether you wish to incorporate it in your mod.

[fireboss-tulsa]

any chance of having RNLI?

They have literally got them the new ANPR team is just starting and all metropolitan police vehicles are now being given the battenburg livery now as old vehicles are replaced with new ones the livery will be phased in

What would be good is custom missions like escort the queen. stop the protesters and even one about the 2005 London bombings would be so good to do so that people can see what it was like for the emergency services.

[theocd]

Escort missions are possible - much like LA Mod and riot Freeplay events occur naturally anyway - get the TSG on them
As for the 7/7, I doubt anyone would be willing to do it. Its a touchy subject and still brings to mind controversies today due to the events and the aftermath.

They could just create a similarity like gas explosion at a tube station or something like that

[Handsup!]

Yes, they could do that. To be honest, i believe that creating a mission like this would be a tribute to the lives lost for example.

Yeah like Norway mod was a tribute to the masscare in Norway

[met police999]

But the massacre wasn't made a mission

[gunswat]

But the massacre wasn't made a mission

Yes but they released it not long after the massacre as a sign of respect I believe might be wrong bout release tho

[blcooper]

I would love to see a diplomatic to , but in the current map there is no need for it, if ever there is a new map incorporating government buildings it would be a good idea.
RNLI would be good two, something like the severn (possibly with firefighting capabilities)

Missions may be hard to create but if they are created i think something about 2012 Olympics should be there ether stopping protesters/crowd control/protecting different heads of state from competing countries.

[met police999]

Or escorting the torch

[999madtom]

Love the olimpics idea (Torch and blcooper's idea).St John ambulance doing minor incidents and LAS doing major. Just a idea

St Johns is a good idea, could possibly have them as basically trained so they cant be used in major events but can be used in small events with minor injuries
