Loved the idea but gave it 4-stars. The TK army needs lots of work, and this addon makes it at least a competitive army. I hope you take this criticism as constructive, that's all it's meant to be.

1)-Even though this addon increases aircraft, there is something missing in the air force...a higher-end air to air fighter. I mean like a Mig-29 or an F-16, that sort of standard. Because American F-15's and F-18's are gonna take down Mig-21's or Su-22's any day of the week. But have it up against these two planes, and you have a challenge on your hands!
2)-This addon makes the TK army a bit too inclined to the eastern side. The original army is a mix of eastern and western weaponry. Maybe replacing the Su-22 with an F-4 or an F-5 would make a difference. But then again, adding an F-16 would also do the trick.
3)-Takistan still has no navy. Whereas it's made to be a landlocked sort of country, there's too many addons that almost everyone has in which Takistan has a coastline. So a small navy would be awesome.
4)-Maybe it's a good idea to add some Chinese equipment to the army. China has begun to start making it's own tanks and exporting them, just a thought.

Don't get me wrong, I think this addon is great, just that these few things might make stuff perfect, and make the TK army a complete army. And I'm really interested in that because I love playing as Takistan.

In response to heartbreak

1) Takistani Military is a representation of obsolete and soviet-era weapon equipped military of central Asia and the Middle East. (I.E. Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Kazakhstan, etc)

2) Takistan, according to its history, became a Soviet-backed socialist nation after pro-Western monarch fell after a successful coup. So it makes sense that majority of the weapons are of Eastern origin. (They would have retired majority of Western equipment due to lack of spare parts, etc)

3) and 4) I agree, although Takistan is a landlocked nation (I believe), a small green-water Navy would be pretty cool. Also Chinese tanks and planes made specifically for foreign export in Takistani arsenal would be neat

I love the mod I cannot wait to the update expanding PRACS and adding F-5's to the Takistani forces. Here is my suggestion for expanision to this mod why not add some old western vehicles that have or are being used by middle eastern and north African countres like the Cheiftain tank, Centurion tank, M-60 Patton, FV-101 Scorpion, EE-9 Cascavel, Panhard AML, Alvis Saladin, Mirage F-1, Aerospatiale Gazelle are some of my ideas to expand the mod. Mojave made a point that in the Arma 2 lore that the country used to be pro western but after a coup it became pro soviet but countries like Libya, Iraq and Iran have all been anti western and up until US/UK intervention the Iraqi's used their western equipment and both Libya and Iran still use western equipment long after western embargoes. Another point according to the Arma 2 lore the maps played with in the vanilla OA they are just parts of the country and if you watch the intro cutscene there is mention of Takistan having a navy and one of its warships being destroyed so it wouldn't be bad to have naval units.
