He wanted Rangers, but I refused to be so Generic and go with a full SFG instead.

Why not include both? Rangers could always be used for Direct Action ops and the SFG guys for reconnaissance, infiltration, sabotage, etc - the more secretive kinda stuff.

What custom helmets will there be? and perhaps custom vests

and IRL there is no woodland version of the 'independent-type' uniform. (forgot its name)

better to use NATO uniform.

the NATO uniform is crye percision. a SF made uniform, also the woodland was a choice made by me due to the army's camo confusion (which they are finally getting out of) in which they had the thought of reinstating M81 woodland to replace UCP at one point.

I had a stupid idea..... Toy soldier colored uniforms xD, Bringin back the classic olive and tan (not gunna happen, unless people want it)

I think they're doing tricolor woodland and desert against MARPAT to see what is going to be used as a special jungle and desert pattern instead of Scorpion.

so.. they moved on from BDU and DCU patterns, and now they're talking about moving back to them?

[LykosMactire 298]

from what i heard, the official choice is Scorpion (a early form of multicam) and i remember seeing they once considered MARPAT and m81 woodland.

im working on a cinimatic screenshot of the national guard in minihattan for yall, ill post it when its done

[disco.modder 116]

They were already using BDU for a long time until deciding to move on and now they're looking at going back? Im not sure what this may seem like to you guys but I reckon UCP was a stuff up. The pattern seems great for urban combat but otherwise I dont see it being used in any other situation, as proven by soldiers experience in Iraq and Afghanistan. Imagine how much it would've cost to field the new uniforms in the new camoflage pattern for a decade and then moving back to the old pattern. All that logistics and manpower for nothing, and of course the loss of lifes to enemies due to poor camoflage concealment of the soldiers.

also, should we port the US army vest from ArmA II

[disco.modder 116]

[/color]also, should we port the US army vest from ArmA II

Why not?

The IOTVs are the most suiting vests to equip US Army infantry with. :)

Atin claims to be having trouble porting the vest, if anyone wants to help they can PM him and help him find out the problem (something with size)

[corporal_lib[br] 396]

RichardD had ported the IOTV from A2 to his US Army uniforms mod, of course it had clipping issues, but he´d managed to fix them (still working on those uniforms, but he may give at least some advices on such matter)!

[LykosMactire 298]

Hey arma community, Happy 4th of july from the NB team, with a little news update...CH 47F has been added in and a National Guard variant is in progress based from a NYNG veriant i saw flying around Niagara Falls NY,

[LykosMactire 298]

News update: 10th Mountain Division patches added in for the US army campaign (which all voice actors will be cast personally, no public casting this time), Also Custom M4s in the works.

A little Detail about the US army Campaign:

It follows the story of Nunez and Williams, whom were US army before re-enlisting as US Marines. it is set in Takistan 2 years before the events of Operation Forced Hand (USMC Campaign) in which a Insurgent Uprising strikes the Weakened Takistani Government still recovering from the Events of Operation Arrowhead. the Army past of Nunez and Williams will actually be shown in the USMC campaign in a easter-egg

[mistyronin 1181]

Sounds good!

[LykosMactire 298]

thanks, also please note the patches are like XMLs, called by the mission, not on the actual uniform

[LykosMactire 298]

Heres all 4 camo patterns at current state, in order from L to R.

Woodland

Crye Multicam

Scorpion Multicam

UCP

Some camos are a little blurred is your textures setting below high?

[LykosMactire 298]

its because A3's graphics limiter, and also the multicam textures still need tweaking

[LykosMactire 298]

so, in the USMC mod we had the United Nations on BLUFOR, well

for the army we will have the Takistani Army as INDFOR (for campaign purposes), they will have their steel helmet ported from A2 and their standard issue will AK-74s and/or M16A2s

[LykosMactire 298]
