AV_IndUs (US Army inspired units)

[scarecrow398 43]

I actually knew that the M40A3 is issued to the Marines (Isn't it the same with M16A4's?)

M40A5 (Soon to be A6 which is going to be a full length stock with a folding butt and the ability to accept a .338 Lapua action) now, they have a new muzzle break which can accept suppressors, forward picatinny rail and accept 5 round detachable magazines.

sounds like some progress Alex, and yes those are issued to marines, the US army uses the MAAWS i believe

Not the Army as a whole, they have the M72, AT-4 and Javelin, there's nothing in between. Only US SOCOM uses the MAAWS (Rangers, SF, SEALs, MARSOC, etc).

All kinds of markings are of interest :)

The weapons you listed are planned to make their ways into A3 at a time unspecified, one way or another. The area that I know is missing the most details for my M4A1's are the carryhandle range adjustments etc. and the barrel have none. There are probably lots of smaller markings missing also. I do not have anything to work from when it comes to M16A4's either. There's very few pictures actually being useful found on google. If you do find time and take pictures, feel free to pm them to me whenever and I'll make sure the details end up on the pistols/rifles.

Here's some pictures for the M16A4 and m9, noted the barrel marking is also applicable for M4A1 and Mk12.[More photos are coming for the carrying handle as soon as i find it back]

Correct me if i am wrong, the MAAWS [aka M3 Carl Gustav] is issued to some army units in Afghanistan, heres the evidences

Great work with the m4, outstanding.

In this site i found the markers and closeup photos for the a4 (some details are the same that a2). Link

And some photos of the a4; here.

Yeah, it's a relatively recent thing. Apparently after more than a decade of warfare in Afghanistan, someone in the US Army understood that in a COIN conflict, a middle ground between disposable AT4 launchers and $80,000US a missile Javelins could come in handy.

[AlexVestin 24]

These pictures (and links) are great. Thank you! :)

(M4A1) (RIS)

(M4A1) (RIS) (CQB)

(M4A1) (RIS) (Frontgrip)

(M4A1) (RIS) (M203)

So, I just realized that the RIS M4s have handguards on the side RIS rails that would block any side attachments (i.e. PEQ-15s, torches, etc.). I assume these are there own attachments or something, yes?

[AlexVestin 24]

To keep it simple, the right railcover will be hidden if a laser is attached. So there won't be any clipping between railcovers and attachments. I've also been experimenting with mounting attachments on the top rail. Flashlights can be mounted on the top rail because of that, but I thinks it's okay anyways, since not all of the M4A1's will make use of the top rail.

[enex 11]

Your attention to detail is great Alex.I watched your livestream, you are very dedicated and persistent.

[TFM_Callas 1]

Hey Alex it has been awhile. Took a break from A3 but now I'm hooked again. I have been playing with your units quite a bit and was wondering when the Multicam units would be placed individually (Rifleman, Team Leader, Autorifleman, etc. etc.) like the ACU ones? Also, when do you plan on making groups? (F2 in editor function i mean.) As always, thanks for what you do!

I think groups are a must for whenever there's an update :) Same with the OCP units since I've seen quite many poeple liking the more 2013-2014 looking units. And I am still working to have some more accurate UCP gear that was used by the US Army from around 2009-2010. Pretty much all of the gear comes from Operation Arrowhead infantry created by Johannes and Binkowski, but it's getting heavily tweaked to work with the new unifrom system in A3. Also some minor proportion tweaks to get it just a lil bit more accurate.

Interesting, must have been just of recent or on small scale.

In the video he says he belive it should be brought for every infantry unit so perhaps they borrowed some from SOCOM to test the effectiveness.

Edit: Here's an article about it, seems they're buying more of them for use in Afghanistan at this point, not wide scale.

Speaking of which, the Army (or at least a brigade in the 101st Airborne) is using the old M67s for shoulder-fired, reloadable recoilless rifles.

Been using this mod for quite awhile. Some minor things that I would change, but other then that quite good.

Yup, the ADF has been using them too:

I think those are different. M79s, I believe? The M67 is an anti-tank launcher, not a grenade launcher.

Oh, I misread (and didn't read the article), my mistake.

Interesting that they would reintroduce them.

I think they just had a few kicking around that they needed as an interim inbetween between the AT4 and the Javelin.

Hey I have request/feature, is it possible to add clan logos somewhere on the uniforms. I mean, when you use squad.xml you have your logo on uniform like on officers (and only on officer uniform afaik) uniform, could you do this?

[Kerc Kasha 102]

Is anyone noticing the lack of optics on the units weapons? it seems they're supposed to have them but everyones diggin ironsights. I thought it might be asdg joint rails but I'm using the config for that and it hasn't bothered anything before

[theevancat 277]

I assume you just put them on in the editor. "Primaryweaponattachment" is the thing, I believe.

[123justin321 12]

Any chance of having those units work with ALIVE anytime soon? It kinda felt like a kick straight to the nuts when I did not see these units under those compatible with ALIVE.

Something like that will be automatically added with the next release because XMLs are being put on Uniforms next update, should be already in Dev Build

[Val 10]

Very nice mod! Wish to see the version1.7 with all of it's new equipment.

Do you plan to use Wuer's M14 models for Arma2 (with his permission of course) or you are going to create your own?

[thenach 10]

Hi, is this MOD in play with six?

If it is, can please let me know the name?

Thanks.
