Units are usually the smallest priority for me but Arma has a serious lacking in some units. To me the most significant of them is the lack of British SF and US army in woodland camo. ACE brings the Russians and USMC in desert uniforms (acex_RU and _USNAVY) but their respective SF units remain woodland only.
Biggest problem with using different units is the lack of missions for them. Even if most unit downloads are pretty small, it doesn't make much sense to download a unit pack for one mission, or even a couple.
I can understand the reluctance to download new units in a community like this, where there are not too many mission makers to provide missions for these specific units.
On the other hand, we have downloaded many islands that barely have any missions for them.
My approach to introducing new islands or units (or addons in general) is mission packs. At least then you'll have something to play with these addons you've downloaded. Will come back to this post when I get some kind of a mission pack together.
