As I said, these discrepancies will surely be there, but it's worth it given the expected immersion boost. Did it bother that in Wiggum's mission we played the units we played against were not really pro-Turkish separatists? Well, a bit, but it was cool, it sets the environment, it gets the occurences closer to one's heart and makes the mission, at least for me, much more exciting.
In Fuiba's campaign, when we had to shoot down Greek reinforcement choppers, did it matter much that the Hellenic Army doesn't use that type of transports? Not much, but it still was a great touch that made the mission a lot more exciting. I'm not saying that these misrepresentations don't matter, I'm saying that it's worth it, because real life is much more interesting and engaging than some "whateververse".
If you used IDF in that mission and used, for example, AAF units, it would have been great, and that comes from a person that knows what equipment and uniforms to expect from an IDF unit.

Quote:I mean, if I say that the opponents are middle-eastern insurgents, is there any doubt it's something like ISIS or the Taliban?For starters, ME insurgents is a great start when compared to the stuff we have in the vanilla game (much like Wiggum's "pro-Turkish" separatists"), however, using ISIS or Taliban would be even better, definitely. It makes it more, well, real.
