Great update!

I especially love the boats :)

Cheers,

One suggestion re load-outs: M60 MG units get just 3 x 100 round mags, which was likely the standard loadout. However AIUI most or even all of his squadmates would have

carried a belt for the M60; it was too important a weapon to allow it rapidly to run out of ammo. Could some of the default loadouts be changed to reflect this?

Eggbeast just added some different ammo variations to m60 and other arms 2 days ago, already taken care of ;)

Awesome can't wait!!

Very nice! Keep it up!

Thanks for a great vietnam war mod, my only question to you is: how can I call in an artillery or napalm strike?

Hey Steve.

You can use our Support Module if you play as an RTO or an officer (With an RTO Close by). Enter the direction and distance, then choose between the different airstrikes or artillery types available.

Any ETA for 2.7?

And will you release some missions or campaign along with it?

[sgt_savage 586]

2.7?!! You mean 2.6 ;)

Dunno yet , just tying up loose ends. No campaign unfortunately , maybe a few missions. After 2.6 work will cease on the Arma 2 engine as the team start to port our mainstream stuff to arma 3.

[Wiki 1558]

Good to know!

Hey UNSUNG Team,

I'm very impressed with your work, everything is very detailed and worked clean. It is great fun to tinker missions.

Since I have a long time not been interested in Arma, I have to find in the lot of features of the editor.

I'm currently working on a SEAL team mission. Unfortunately, there are no units for and I use instead the Special Forces. Will there be in the future a SEALs units and Supportcrafts like the LSSC, MSSC or HSSC.

Thank you for your answer and keep it up! Great work!

P.S.: Sorry for my English!

Hi mate,

There are no plans yet to make the support craft you mentioned. Our next release (2.6) will the final release for arma 2. The theme for our Arma 3 release going to be centered around the USMC and an urban setting of the nam war. So will see further down the road if we have the manpower and time to include them.

Thank you for your response.

It's a pity but understandable that every wish may not be fulfilled. I hope that maybe in the future for ARMA 3, the SEALs as infantry unit are available. The support units are of secondary importance there are plenty of other units that can be used, such as the PBR.

I read that one of the Seawolves Huey was at work, these were among others the SEALs as Support-Craft (http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?134440-Unsung-Vietnam-War-Mod-Version-2-5-Discussion/page20). Is this released yet?

SEAWOLVES HOMEPAGE: http://www.seawolf.org/index.asp)

One question I have ...

I had seen a video (http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?134440-Unsung-Vietnam-War-Mod-Version-2-5-Discussion/page18) of you the Air, Arty support menu. You can download this as a template somewhere? Or how I can use it?

Thanx a lot, I wish you much fun with your project, keep it up!

Had to look those up at warboats.org :) The light model basically looks like a big speed boat with gun mounts. Can it be modeled? Yes and no... the proper modeling of those particular boats would be difficult to execute without "cheating" the model. The light one looks like it could hold many more passengers than you could accurately model in-game without the passengers sitting on top of each other. Based on my work with adding crew to other boat models, I will venture to guess that, in order to make it look "correct" in-game, you'd barely have room for the gunners' bodies. I don't know how to create new animations yet so we'd need a good "squatting" gunner proxy to use. Not sure if that exists.

According to that website, there were only 2 heavy ships built.

The medium looks very close to the PBR in size and capacity.

[viasko 14]

Thanks hcpookie for the translation into modeling of addons and your answer to my question. I've seen that will come another model of PBR in the upcoming update and look forward to the test and used in a mission.

[maniek 10]

I installed the mod unsung. Like everything works, but I can not fire up the armory. Scenarios are working but the armory loaded into the mid and late. It happens with every map, when installed unsung mod. This is normal?

[sgt_savage 586]

It is a bug that we will try and remedy in the next patch :)

[maniek 10]

ok, because I thought that something was wrong with me :). I have another question, I have not seen servers where you can play this add-on line. Do you recommend any?

Hey Savage,

I guess this means stuff like SOG and army units probably won't be in the first Arma 3 Unsung release? :)

Anyway, very much looking forward to the release of 2.6!
