NATO standard everything.

Foods would have to be either varied or standardized slop, since trying to get Germans to eat French food is impossible and vice versa.

Would also have to be volunteer only, and only the goyest of goyim could be let in. Conscription would go sideways in the blink of an eye since no one wants to fight a war, no one wants to fight a globohomo war, and sure as fuck no one wants to fight a globohomo war alongside the fucking Germans/Swedes/French/Gypsies/[insert subhuman here].

Ideally, it would have nationally (or even more local) recruited units for cohesion and stuff. Equipment would be a wild mix of designs, but built in different places each (with shared IP). Language would be english, but colloquially local languages.
Armies would be organized as a kind of national guards, with command usually resting with national leaders and only going to the europe level political body in case of war.

I might as well ask here but

I'm working on a video game that's heavily inspired by Battlefield. There will be different factions and classes. Each faction needs to feel distinct. So for example the "EU Faction" needs to feel European instead of NATO.

To make the EU Faction feel EU, each class is from a different country
>Assault: UK
>Engineer: Italian
>Support: German
>Recon: French

Anyways this is what I have so far for the EU Assault weapons:
L85A2 (default starting weapon)
AUGA3
F2000
G3A3

Recon weapons:
MSG90 (default starting weapon)
HK17
FRF2
FAMAS

Mind you its a video game so there's going to be some creative liberty. I wanted to give EU Assault all bullpup rifles to give their faction a distinct look and feel. Since EU Assault is UK soldier it made sense for the L85A2 to be the main rifle.
>inb4 UK isnt part of EU

I know, but in my game they are
>>
>>64639920
The german empire worked in a similar way and it didn't harm combat efficiency.

I cannot decide what country EU Engineer should be. I was stuck between Italy, Sweden and Poland but I went with Italy.

The idea being that Engineers main weapon besides rocket launcher is SMG.

Engineer weapons:
MX4
PMX
MP7
P90 or CBJMS

Panzerfaust 3
Alcotan 100
NLAW

As for camo, EU soldier would use the Camo the French currently use. Again, I want every faction to feel and look different. I dont want everyone to be wearing multicam.

What do you guys think so far?

They'd be exact copy of whoever is the dominant force in EU at that time - probably Germany - and absolutely fucking ignored by everyone else.
That or the EU Battlegroup which is a real thing that has been "happening" for like 20 years now and is just two countries providing a battalion each for 6 months before other two countries take over. It even worse than it sounds like and they've never done anything with it because it'd be a PR suicide since it wouldn't work, they just exist on paper.

The USA is no longer considered friendly by most Europeans after Trump and Ukraine, I'm just stating facts. The US is considered to be hostile to Europe and intent on interfering in European democratic processes following the publication fo the US Nation Security Policy.

This is just the new reality. It's very sad and I have many old American friends who like me stood against communism but it is what it is

If you want to rage about that I understand but yes, part of the point of European rearmament is now to be in a position to tell the US or Russia or China to fuck off and mind their own business

This, but with more drones, air ground and sea. Our space capability is also poor compared to USA, and even China.

Sincerely, a finn. Also we have no native stealth fighters, which is going make our conventional airforce incapable of capturing airspace, just like Ukraine nor Russia have during the Ukraine war. We need to work with that, or whatever consitutes as we in the near future, given that current EU is probably not going to exist and has to be reformed, which I believe going to require dissolution in order to reform.

I see a possibility, that if there is an EU dissoultion, some EU countries will form their own US friendly block and is going to buy mostly US made equipment for a long time.
>>
>>64640714
NTA, but space launch and air assets are being developed be European companies.

It'S not LockMart and SpaceX, but it'S actual private industry unlike what China is doing. Should EU and national money be used to invest in these companies? Yes. But we've spent thirty years snoozing, it wil take another few years.

the ammunition and drone production show that we can get shit done. Which surprised a lot of people, but here we are.

If that were true they wouldn't have military aid to Ukraine on par with a single country that has half their population. Unless of course Europe just doesn't care about Ukraine and is willing to leave their own to fend for themselves.

I'm sorry, I don't engage further with people who are dishonest. As Europe is facing an openly hostile and belligerent Russia and further is under NATO requirements in many nations to have provision primarily for standing forces your point is utterly empty, Europe has provided massive support to Ukraine and will continue to, pic related. It's worth noting that Ukraine will also be part of any future EU military structure and will be an EU member and deserves to be.

Nonsense like you and Trumps friendship with Putin, 'jokes' about annexing Greenland, deliberately insulting speeches from Vance and Hefseth to appeal to American jingoists and Fox news viewers, threats to interfere in European democratic processes declared in the National Security Policy document, appeasement of the dictatorship in Belarus, threats of a tariff war against the USs biggest lenders while they are supporting Ukraine is why Europe is turning away from the US and rearming, now not just to ensure Russia is no longer a threat but to also counter the new US threat.

It's amazing that Americans have no understanding of the delivered insult walking over the dead of European servicemen who died and were maimed for American misadventures in Afghanistan and Iraq,

Did you know the Ukrainians deployed to Iraq in support of the US? That disgraceful scene in the oval office with Vance ranting at the war leader of a free democratic nation to appease a Russian dictator? Have you unplugged form the reality of what a unending series of disasters for international relations the US has been for the last year?

There is nothing wrong with Classical Liberal government. The entire US, TK and European democracies are founded on its idea.

About half as much per person as the USA, your picture accounts for financial aid which isn't what Ukraine needs, in terms of military aid Europe has only given slightly more than the US.

Sadly, we tried to get Europe to be cooperative. We warned them that Russia was dangerous, that they should disconnect themselves from Russian oil and spend more on their military, but they spat in our faces, told us they preferred Russia to America. So naturally America took this betrayal for what it was and left Europe be as they asked for.

Ending the war, even along the current terms, is hardly "abandoooning". Holy shit Ukraine gets the right to a 600,000 man standing army and $300BN in seized Russian assets will be paid over to them as war reparations.

Thats a fucking good deal. Only hard part is where the border will be.

Look nigga lets be real. Russia lost this war more than three years ago (how time flies) when the failed to (1) seize Ukraine and (2) turn it into a rump state. All they have done is seize some clay in the Donbas. Total loss. However, Ukraine does not have the strength, and will never have the strength, to retake that seized land. Common sense is to just call it a day for everyone involved and pretend this absolute catastrophe never happened.

Anon, take a breath and stop shadowboxing a strawman you built out of MSNBC chyrons and Twitter rage.

Yes they are. Germany bought Russian gas during the war, France kept channels open, Italy hedged, Hungary openly defected, and half of Brussels is still praying Nord Stream comes back. This “pure Euro moral front” exists only in your head.
>Euros aren't the ones pretending everything will be normal if we give Russia what it wants
They literally are. The EU position since 2014 has been “freeze the conflict, normalize trade, hope Russia behaves.” Minsk I, Minsk II, Normandy Format — ring any bells? America didn’t invent appeasement here; Europe industrialized it.
>Euros aren't using the same language about a "reset"
They don’t call it a “reset,” they call it strategic autonomy, dialogue, and de-escalation. Same shit, better PR. You think it’s different because it comes with a French accent and a white paper.
>All America. All orange Caligula.
This is where your brain melts. Trump didn’t invade Ukraine. Obama didn’t stop Crimea. Biden didn’t deter 2022. Structural decline and 30 years of free-riding don’t vanish because your team wins an election.
>You saw a fight more dangerous than gunning down insurgents and ran
No — America showed up with money, weapons, intel, satellites, logistics, and training while Europe struggled to find artillery shells. The US didn’t “run,” it carried NATO again, like it has since 1949.
>Own it

The only elected leader to have publicly stabbed Ukraine in the back is the US President. Look the fact is that the transatlantic alliance is dead. Putin on, he has ended NATO effectively via Trump and ended the era of the US as a real superpower and JD Vance, Trump and Hegseth handed him that on a plate

https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-National-Security-Strategy.pdf

" America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote
this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed
gives cause for great optimism."

Promotion of Moscow quislings i Europe by US national policy.

Ok then.

"And they asked the head of the prime minister of Hungary, very tough man, strong man, somebody that I always got along… I get along with the strong ones. I don’t get along with the weak ones. Isn’t that sad? That’s a personality defect. The tough ones, but the tough ones are the ones we have to worry about, that’s a good thing.

"But Viktor Orbán. Viktor Orbán of Hungary. So they asked him, “What do we do? Wars are breaking out all over the world.” He said, the answer is very simple. Make sure that Trump gets reelected president and you’re not going to have any more wars. You’re not going to have any more problems. They respected him. They respected Trump. They respected Trump. He actually used a different word. I would not use that word, but he can. He said they were afraid of Trump because they had no idea where the hell I was coming from. With Joe, it’s sort of easy to tell, isn’t it? The whole thing is crazy. You know what we’re going through? It’s crazy. They arrest their political opponent. They go after their political… The whole place is, our country, is like a different place. No more wars, no more disruptions. We will have prosperity and we will have peace. "

Nobody in Europe with a decent arms industry is just gonna give it up. Don't expect France to copy others, And we're definitely never copying the French.

All I know for sure is that any unified european army is gonna expect Poland to catch bullets for them.
Other than that they'd just NATO through it without American weapons and it's not like we actually need them. If some asshole needs an m4 they can just buy the c7 off of Canada or smth.

Thanks for your response

And no, Recon is 100% going to be French. My reasoning being that Recon is supposed to be Sniper/Special Forces mix. Majority of weapons EU Recon is using are French (FRF2, Hecate II, FAMAS). If you decide to do Special Forces, the carbine recon uses is FAMAS which is French. They also have the recon look with the green beret.

Every faction will have a 50 cal sniper but for balance purposes I'm trying to make it bolt action 50 cal. So US get M95 and EU gets Hecate II.

You can leave rhe union anytime, it's not like the EU desperately tried every trick up its sleeve to hold on the UK. Brexit won, they got out, and they enjoyed even more unregulated mass migration and skyrocketing tariffs from foreign imports, tanking their already struggling economy and making everything worse for the sake of populism. The bongs shot themselves in the foot, but we never forced them to stay. They were acting like primadonnas way before brexit, like when they refused the adoption of the euro out of sheer spite, so it's not like we didn't see this coming.

As cool as an european federation like in endwar would look like, sadly it's just as realistic as russia's depiction in the same game. A unified army is a serious threat to one country's sovereignity, and as long as europe remains a union, aka an economic trading block, and doesn't evolve into a full fledged federation, the formation of an european army remains a pipe dream. Sure, european forces work together constantly, but that's different from taking all the same orders from the same commanders in chief. Also, i never liked bow endwar's federation is heavily franco-centric. The capital is paris, the official language is french, the president is french, most of their wunderwaffen is named after french people. Righe now france still holds the biggest piece of the defense procurement pie, but diplomatically speaking everyone in europe barely tolerate them.

The only good thing to come out of Brexit was that it was such a humiliating failure that it pretty much killed off hardcore Euroscepticism in the rest of the EU. Hardly anyone actually advocates for leaving the EU entirely any more, instead they focus on reforming or removing some of its rules.

At this point it really doesn't matter what Europa is doing. They could raise the defense spending to 10%, Donnie would still despise them unless they suck up to him unconditionally.

The US has provided more aid to Ukraine than any European country. Europe would be regarded to turn their back on the USA after that.

I do find it interesting that the AR18 became so widely adopted in Europe versus an AR15 which is lighter, cheaper and smoother recoil making it more accurate.

Is reduced carbon in the working oil that much of a difference? You just wipe out the old CLP and add new CLP every 1000 rounds and DI will never have any malfunction.

>>64642342
Why do you keep dodging my questions euroanon?
The aid they provided was under a very different administration (it was still less than what europe provided btw). Don't you think there's a bit of a difference in policy between the two administrations regarding Europe & Ukraine? Why would you support a country that is openly and actively trying to screw us over in a way that Russia could've only dreamed of two years ago?
>>
>>64642437
>it was still less than what europe provided btw
I would sure hope that 44 countries with a population nearly twice the USA’s would provide more aid than the US.

And the US isnt screwing Europe over, they’re trying (unsuccessfully) to get Europe to increase military spending and decouple themselves from Russian oil.
>>
>>64642447
That IS screwing Europe over, Europe doesn’t want to be like the USA with its excessive military spending and unreasonable hostility to Russia.
>>

The EU countries that the US is friendly with are the one buying Russian oil and gas lol.
>>
>>64642433
If you're OP you're being disingenuous here.

Unless we're talking about a far future where everyone in Europe speaks one language, your EU army is going to consist of monoethnic regiments.
EU countries are already pretty far into equipment cross-compatibility and they intend to place group orders on heavy weapons so there's no reason for them not to just use whatever the national armies currently have.
Or if we're talking about a globohomo far future, there's no equipment to talk about because we don't know what it's going to be.

The only questions to be discussed in the present are political.
>>
>>64642513
Well we warned them not to. Honestly at this point I can’t really blame America for cozying up with the Russians. Europe’s been doing it for 3 decades now and laughed at America for being so paranoid about Russia. Hell, even now Europe hasn’t matched America’s commitment to supporting Ukraine. Frankly at that point the question becomes what’s the point of being hostile to Russia to “defend Europe” when Europe doesn’t even want to be hostile to Russia lol.
