[davids 10]

Hello everyone!

I'd like to introduce my work in progress thread for the UKAF from A3. Obviously being set in the future, I'd like to make this about current kit/ kit coming into service in the near future. I'd like to briefly outline my plan with this mod, and then post WIP and other goodies!

This is a range of kit I am hoping to include into the mod;

• Headgear
  
  • Mk7
    
  • Para helmet

  [*]Vest

  • Osprey Assault body armour
    
  • Jump-able Plate carrier
    
  • Modular belt-kit/webbing (maybe one over of a plate carrier?)

  [*]Goggles/NVGs

  • HMNVS

  [*]Attachments/Optics

  • ELCAN Specter
    
  • ACOG 6x magnification (mounted on the L129A1)
    
  • VIPIR-2
    
  • Susat(for old times sake!)

  [*]Uniform

  • PCS

  [*]Backpacks

  • Patrol pack - Picture
    
  • New bergen - Picture

Not released yet Porter! Still got a good bit of work to do.

[DrunkenVeteran 10]

Bah, I got so many tabs open I can't tell if I'm in Completed or Discussion threads anymore haha. Still looking good though, and eagerly awaiting the release!

[alasdair 1]

Feels good to finally get to show of our work :P Looking forward to releasing more and more british kit in the future.

[bovine3dom 70]

The thermal sight is spelt VIPIR.

Otherwise, looking great!

Can't wait to get my hands on a SUSAT.

Thanks for the info!

Are you planning on creating woodland/desert DPM uniforms as well? Looks great so far, especially the helmets. :)

@Davids, have you thought to combine your work with Bigpickle's: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?149671-British-Forces-WIP

Looks smart so far.

Given that Arma 3 is set in the future, what calibre will be used? 5.56? Or would the 6.5mm be used in keeping with the 'NATO standard' in game?

[Dennistp 11]

Question, the helmet on the last picture, is that the Cobra helmet ?? im not sure its the real name of the helmet, but in denmark we have this new helmet i link to, and it looks like it a little bit :)

Currently, we have no weapon mods planned but if we consider it, it would definetly fire the NATO 5.56 round.

Perhaps asking Project: UK Forces Team who created this A2 OA Weapon pack (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=11513) for permission for an SA80

[da12thMonkey 1943]

Roadkill, I'm making a new SA80 instead of porting the old stuff :cool: Various reasons I don't think I can let someone else do it for me either (i.e not all of the work on the pack was done by UKF members)

I'm trying to make something along the lines of this sort of quality, before baking them both down onto some nice Arma-friendly models, and texturing.

May take some time, but I reckon it's time better spent than taking a couple of weeks out to convert the old models.

[sabre 244]

Great news da12th, look forward to it when it comes around :)

[R0adki11 3945]

@da12thMonkey good to hear about the SA80 :)

Now the question is: What rifle will the UK be using in 2035?

[BlackScorpion 0]

Great stuff!

If you want nitpicking... the UBACS cool material should be a lot lighter shade, pretty much coyote brown. I've seen the darker brown on the underarmour T-shirts and some "unofficial" regular DPM UBACSes (is there even an official one?), though, so for those the shade would be spot-on.

[alasdair 1]

ELCAN Specter anyone? WIP

[Jalio 1]

Looking good!

[don2k7 1]
