Chechen War Russians

[cleggy 297]

John Сage, you really think that Russian Army look like this in 1995?

Friend, i think that English is not your native language and I hope you didn't mean to sound rude.

Johncage has done some amazing work in a short space of time and his units make me want to play as the 'rooskies' right now!

If you have some information to help improve his work then he seems very willing to listen from what I've read.

Btw John, brilliant stuff!

P.S. i was near TV tower on 1991 01 14, i was 4 years old and i remember all of this! The roar of collums of tanks, bmds, btrs and trucks rolling through city on the night of 13th day.

Make sure to post a warning if you post videos with graphic content mate as not all who come here are adults.

yeah there are winter units along those lines. the ushanka and collar still need improvement:

and thanks for the reference material.

I see you got the three hole balaclava to work, they're looking even better now. Keep up the good work. :)

[Stagler 39]

John. Do some guys with the winter collar, the Ssh68 helmet (cover and without) and a plain 6B5 with the ammo pouches on the front. Like these chaps.

These guys look pretty badass, I appreciate the variation you're putting into them.

[johncage 30]

yeah i should include more collars, but the problem with collar is that the original model has too little vertices near the neck area. changing it messes up uv and weighs.

i've experimented with this method for the moment:

and yeah i probably went overboard with the balaclava thing

[Stagler 39]

As far as AKM tells me. Soldiers during the chechen campaign had more of those 6B5s with the pouches on the front of the vest itself rather than the rigging. Try an OD one of those.

Imho on the collars john, they look better downward as thats where they sit when then are attached to the winter jacket.

Thanks, I've very very lots more picture, But I think its enough to give idea to johncage.

johncage if you want more, say me.

Best Regard

[johncage 30]

thanks. some of those jackets are huge.

[Harine 40]

Namely: during this war, it was anarchy on the level of the uniforms. There was of all. From the mix of camos in particular.

Really neat stuff John! I think you should try out some Shadow and Reed patterns for representing OMON (1995) in Grozny. As well as the V-95 and Grad vests. I need my urban FIX!

Great job though, keep it up.

[Binkowski 26]

i like the guy with the ushenka. he's my new favorite unit.

i did a copy and paste job using the russian pilot texture. it still looks pretty bad up close. in the backview you can see the collar sort of clips into the back. anyone know how the weighing works in oxygen 2? i just see a bunch of percentages.

[Binkowski 26]

these are really simple, but cool at the same time. nice work johncage.

[Stagler 39]

whens the next update gonner be johncage?

[Laqueesha 474]

Russian Federation soldier in 1992. Note the Soviet insignia, as this was not long after the collapse of the USSR.
