Look nice. Good job :)

Maybe not «ISAF» patches for more utilisation (not only Afstan)

[Laqueesha 474]

They look amazing! I love the added dirt, NVG mount, and the Surefire helmet light. Little things like that make all the difference. Some eyepro and gloves would make it even better. Keep up the great work! :D

Lovely work you're doing, but I think you should do without the ISAF patch as others have said. Will you be working on marines too? I am sure there might be some stuff to tweak there (though I have no idea, not too good with uniforms) Will all US Army soldiers wear combat shirts with this project? I am not sure if all US Army soldiers wear those nowadays (like I said I have no knowledge of uniforms) I hope you'll keep them wearing UCP/ACUPAT. Also, what is that O POS thing mean?

That is one kick-ass photo. All it needs is the Reservoir Dogs music. ;)

In garrison, U.S. Army soldiers wear the standard ACU. In the field, they wear combat shirts (ACS). Also, the "O POS" stands for "O Positive/O+", the wearer's ABO blood type. As for the ISAF patch, I think there should be both ISAF and regular units.

Ah, thank you for the info. And I wouldn't mind having that as long as the regulars are the ones that do the replacing :)

He can't change the models, they are the BIS ones

I've seen several people using the BIS US Army helmets, how does that work then? Are people allowed to take parts from the BIS US Army model?

If you mean Arma 2 models, you must ask BIS first. You can't just rip them open and change what you want without getting in a ton of trouble. (Asking has it's own troubles..trust me..in the middle of it myself :D )

However Arma 1 models have been released and you can use them quite easily.

[Zupadupazupadude 10]

Ah, right, I meant the OA US Army dudes. Binkowski's Marines and Multicam special forces have pouches and helmets from them for example.

I can't answer for Bink, But you can't use A2/OA models without permission first.

If I recall correctly, Binkowski is the one who made the default U.S. Army blokes for OA.

EDIT: Oops, apparently it was Johannes that made the default OA U.S. Army units. Apologies! :(

No, Johannes was the original creator who did those and he is a close friend of Bink. Hence he has acces to them.

@Laqueesha: Readmes here and here.

[daveygary1979 14]

they are both great guys and i am sure if you have any questions they would help you out, they did for me!

[Zupadupazupadude 10]

Did Johannes create OA's US Army guys? I didn't know that, that's pretty cool.

Oops, sorry about that. I heard he made them on the grapevine, again sorry.

I am confused i know johannes did the Arma1 special forces Addon using the released BIS Arma1 Models and thats were 95% of the models come from even today. But did he make BIS's OA Models for BIS?

[Binkowski 26]

Johannes made the OA US Army soldiers, not me.

Lennard's post is correct, regarding your post soldier2390; he did make the Army SF for ArmA1 back in the day. That's back when they released all of the MLOD's (maybe not all, but 95% of them like you stated). He also made the original US Marines for ArmA2.

Wow that is really neat, shame he can't release them too ;)

If we had the current BIS Arma2/OA MLOD's that would be outstanding, of course BIS will probably never release them unlike how they did for Arma1!

[slatts 1978]

Learn something new every day eh,

BIS did say they would release models but of course there are other issues present.

On topic, as much as I dislike the hideous camo that is ACU, these do look fantastic :)

[islesfan186 83]

Yeah they do looks pretty good so far. Hopefully a multicam skin is in the works too :-)

[daveygary1979 14]

hey bink hows it going bro?

[instagoat 133]

I just noticed this, and oh nice! I have been dabbling with revamping these Units too with OCP and new shirt and everything, but I doubt I´ll ever release them because I have no clue how to build a working config.

Will you also re-do the shoulder pockets and elbow protectors to look like the massif ACS, and/or Army Combat Pant style Pants?

Looking forward to see more, I like the worn, beat up look.

Edit: Just saw the newmodelsneeze, that would make stuff a lot easier for sure! Looking forward to this even more now!

what needs to happen for both the ACS and the ACU blouse is the pockets removed from the lower body section in the uvmat, the last time i checked my acu's didnt have 4 pockets on the body! (this is a bis error not user made)

Yes, I noticed the two BDU-style lower pockets as well. Very out of place.

The layout is quite silly if you try to make it look like an ACS, because the untucked shirt is wrapped so that the seam of the zipper storm flap is at the edge of the texture. So unless you line up texture and normal map perfectly, it looks wonky (like this: http://i.imgur.com/HT96Ll.jpg). And I don´t think you´re supposed to wear the ACS untucked anyway, so I think a new model would really do the job. There were some other addons being worked on, but none of these ever showed up again after some small pics here and there.

So I hope that this ends up being produced, I´d love to have some preppy, heavily loaded, salty looking US Army soldiers to supplement the ones already in the game.
