slatts 1978 Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Today I'm happy to announce the start of the Irish Armed Forces mod for Arma 3. This mod is a semi-fictional view of the Irish Military in the Arma-Verse, which sets Ireland under NATO Influence. Given the near future setting, Vehicles will be newer but also similar to the current real life fleet. But for the time being there are place holders to give basic transport. However the Irish have kept their woodland and Desert DPM patterns but on new improved uniforms for better comfort in the hot climates of the Mediterranean area where they assist NATO in peacekeeping on the island of Altis. Along with two fictional urban and snow/winter DPM variations. The AUG has been redesigned to match the real life upgrade program being conducted by the Irish Defence Forces. Here are a list of screenshots as well as the release thread link http://s296.photobucket.com/user/guitaro-man/library/Irish%20Armed%20Forces%20mod?sort=3&page=1 http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?174700-Irish-Armed-Forces-Mod-Release-Thread If anyone wants to help out please get in touch :) Eager to here suggestions as well. Thanks to the GLT team for letting me use their textures for the Marshall and Strider Edited September 8, 2014 by Slatts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slatts 1978 Posted January 22, 2014 i do recall a British protocol was added in the most recent official update with ADAPT My inner republican that I've suppressed all these years is coming out and saying "No you're Irish not British!

ch27 10 Posted January 22, 2014 My inner republican that I've suppressed all these years is coming out and saying "No you're Irish not British!

slatts 1978 Posted January 22, 2014 Aye, just have to make Irish radio protocols eh? ;) Also, Operation Todhchaà Geal (Bright Future) is now the op name for Irish troops on Altis :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slatts 1978 Posted January 24, 2014 After decades of service, the AUG series of rifles in service was in need of overhauling or replacement. As a stop-gap solution to the improvement program to the AUG rifle, the IAF bought a supply of Mk20 rifles. This rifle after a review of performance with the contingent on Altis, may replace the AUG altogether. http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm180/guitaro-man/arma32014-01-2417-11-49-83_zpse274597a.png (In non story like form. The Mk20 will be the main weapon until a suitable AUG is designed/made :) ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
