Australian SOTG - Commandos

[sabre 244]

Thanks to Smookie for lending some animations.

Add's units & weapons depicting Commando's (2CDO) and Engineers (SOER) serving in Afghanistan within the Special Operations Task Group (SOTG).

As the gear queers among you will notice they have become somewhat of a merge of gear used from a few years ago to current day bits and pieces.

In the interest of not wasting quite abit of work from people it has been left that way.

Units also have different 2CDO Coy patches, this was more or less done to give recognition to more than one of the Company's and not just one of them.

Hopefully it all works ok, and you enjoy them :)

We didn't do SASR, nor do we have plans to for ArmA2.

Great thanks goes out to RobertHammer for providing us the above named models etc.

Thanks to Bohemia Interactive for a great game and there continued support of it.

CTB Rhodesy & Ari for a last check for bugs & issues.

Special Thanks (Sabre):

----------

ArdvarkDB - I would like to personally thank Ardvarkdb for taking on the modelling side of this project, as people would have seen I had been working on retextures

of various models in the past to somewhat represent Australian Special Forces, however I was never quite happy with the models and other parts. I think what he achieved was more than

I expected and seeing his skills improve over the course of the project has been great fun, thanks mate.

Thanks to Sabre for all his amazing textures and Lennard for all his great work on the weapons. Also thanks to Robert Hammer for sharing the weapons he's used and saving us a ton of time.

Hope there are still some folks who play arma 2 that will get some use out of these :)

[Rhodesy77 11]

Awesome work guys, look forward to using these.

[desmondb 10]

This units look AWESOME ingame :cool: thanks for finishing them! The only bug I've found so far is that they speak russian instead of english, anyone else getting this bug?

[CameronMcDonald 146]

Looks like you've given 'em all RGOs by using "HandGrenade" in your config.

0/10, uninstalled A2, mailing you ricin.

Srsly, great work. Consider using "HandGrenade_West" in your next update to give 'em M67s. Let's c ya.

[sabre 244]

Ok cheers guys.

Seems some Russian stuff from the config base was overlooked, will get it sorted as soon possible.

Lol

Anyway. YAY there released. Been loving the pics of them for awhile and just waiting for them.

But im in china till sunday and dont have arma2 atm.

WHY GOD WHY must you be so cruel :(

[CameronMcDonald 146]

Cool bananas. Some other stuff:

- Check that your M203-toting doodz have rounds for them - at least one of the Seccos had nothing to fire.

- An editor group or two would be nice to expedite their editor placement.

[scarecrow398 43]

Excellent!

The wait was worth it, now if only my terrible net would download faster :D

Nice addition with the SOER too, nobody ever seems to think of them.

[HorbeySpector 164]

very nice!:)

Arma 2

[sabre 244]

Thanks Foxhound.

[SugarFree 1]

Wow, models looks very awesome, going to check them out.

btw thanks for this great work Sabre :)

[proingy747 1]

I don't care... If it's an Australian forces mod, I'm there.

Ps. I had it i the first 20 minutes.

[papanowel 120]

Awesome, I was waiting for those from a long time.

Thanks to you guys for the hard work!

[scarecrow398 43]

So, i'm worried that the M4A5's might malfunction as according to the tag they should be serviced in 2008?

Finally got them in game, Nice work Sabre.

On a side note it seems the Mk48 seems to eject casings too low from the ejection port :)

[sabre 244]

If your doing non-tech's in ArmA I'd fire your mission guy :D

[SugarFree 1]

Checked them out and really liked them. The textures are excellent, I think that this multicam is on of the best in A2 so I wish you could make an US army/US Army reskin units in multicam.

Found some shadow bugs(with helmet) and I didn't understand why M203 isn't working.

[CameronMcDonald 146]

Oh the humanity.

[SugarFree 1]

Oh, didn't knew that it was maded by Sabre :). I think that you agree with me, that new one looks way better.

[1986marek 18]

Russian language and some stuff, but it's great. :D

[ragnos 10]

Awesome units! Found two minor issues with NV Googles on. Alternative optics (looking over) of "SAL_M4a5_ShortDot" and "SAL_M4a5_ShortDot_SD" disables night vision. Same problem is with "SAL_Mk48_Eot" when looking through EOT.

[sabre 244]

Thanks, will add that to the list.

[davids 10]

Absolute top looking work guys!

The textures are great! The models are great! Everything is great!

You guys make a good mod team!!

[ei8ght 11]

The best units i ever seen on Arma2 OA:cool:

Thx you Sabre and all people
