Hi, great mod. I really want to use this with Alive but for some reason NOR_UNITS is not working as faction name. I see in 1.4 that it is meant to, has something changed? Do you have faction names for specific groups separating your normal from SF sets???

[j4gz3r0 1]

Is there a plan to make a "light" version without requiring the massi pack?

Currently looking into HLC weapon mod and planning on using those instead.

[rubbeman 30]

Excellent mods With some really cool uniforms.

Would it be possible to see something similiar in the future? A tan Jacket With Desert pants?

Nice mod. Would be nice with some custom modelling and not just retexturing. I suggest, Ops-Core and/or Crye Precision ballistic Helmets.

One thing that is REALLY bothering me is that you have chosen MASSI's weapons as a dependency. Massi's weapons IMO is just quantity and not quality. Why not use better quality like RH and/or HLC etc?

@Vasilyevich

Looking forward to a light version ;)

i agree with this, but i would suggest only the Ops-Core since that is what the Norwegian Army uses, as far as i know.

[Sindrio2 11]

Awesome work as usual Vasilyevich! Love the quality of it! I don't know about others but I preferred the previous woodland camo on the vehicles. As the woodland pattern you put in now doesn't look/feel norwegian, IMO. But I might just be nitpicking here. But I would love to see the all green camo again :)

[viking19 1]

Awesome yet again Vasilyevich!

A few points/suggestions, thinking out loud again:

1. Vehicles (They look AWESOME)

- Great work on the camo, I really miss the true Norwegian vehicle camo. In recent years it has gone out of fashion and been substituted for the OD green as is shown in the photos in the post before this. Likely an economic and practical choice by the MoD since OD green blends in better in a range of environments than does the old camo.

But don't take it away whatever you do - or at the very least include a version of each (camo and OD green) for variation!

There are still plenty of the old Geländewagons in the old camo scheme driving around the place (most recently used in Afghanistan):

2. The uniforms look FANTASTIC

3. The berets

- Make the green a little darker. The colour you have gone for is the old "Olive Green" which has been replaced with "Canadian Green" as of a few years ago.

The old berets looked like this: https://pics.qxlstatic.no/20_804398270_Big/militaereffekter/beret-haeren.jpg (note lighter green and gold sign)

The new berets look like this: http://www.fofo.no/filestore/Kari-Flommajor.jpg (note darker green and silver sign)

- Please change the sign on the beret to the correct one for the army, which is this one: https://pics.qxlstatic.no/20_805701096_Big/militaereffekter/kong-harald-5-beret-merke.jpg

The one you have used is the unit insignia (arm patch) for the Telemark Batallion, and has never been a beret sign in any branch of the army.

4. The Helmets

- The helmets you have included this time are the correct ones, contrary to what other posters on this forum are saying.

The Norwegian Army adopted the OPS-Core FAST helmets a couple of years ago, and these are the ones seen in ArmA3. Great work!

4. MJK and FSK (Love the variations and the new uniform tops - top notch work!)

- Great idea with the random insignias, however I have to add one thing: The "Viking" patch is not an armpatch in real life. It is only worn by FSK operators (never MJK), and only on the front right top pocket, like here (soldier on the left): http://gfx.dagbladet.no/labrador/215/215331/21533120/jpg/active/978x.jpg and here: http://www.krigskorset.no/pics/utdeling8511/DSC_0512.JPG

So if you change this at all, please remove that particular patch from the MJK soldiers and just keep it as an armpatch "for fun" (since it does look pretty cool).

5. More armpatches

- May I suggest you add more armpatches for use with the regular soldiers as well. These would be ONLY for the regular soldiers, as none of these are SOF units.

More can be found here under Norway -> Army -> Batallions, Official and Unofficial (please note the MAJORITY of patches in there are NOT official ones, so if you are unsure just ask!)

- Also, all the above batallions (and more batallions in real life) are all part of Brigade NORTH and thus wear the Brigade NORTH patch (http://home.online.no/~hyttervi/homepage_patches/images/norway/army/after06/brign_2011s.jpg and http://home.online.no/~hyttervi/homepage_patches/images/norway/army/after06/brig_n_d_p.jpg) on the left arm, and their batallion patch on their right arm, like this: http://gfx.dagbladet.no/labrador/215/215343/21534333/jpg/active/729x.jpg

Again, great work! All my suggestions here are simply in the spirit of realism!

I see i forgot to add the link for the armpatch main website:

This without weapon mod dependancy :dance1:

[Slahinki 10]

I recommend watching this documentary, you can get a good look at the uniforms and kit of the Norwegian armed forces, in particular the TMBN.

[Painmace 14]

Not sure if anyone already asked this (to lazy to read through the comments), anyways, why no snow camo????? Planing to add that?

---------- Post added at 17:28 ---------- Previous post was at 17:08 ----------

Also I can't find the supply crates D: D: Could it be that they got over ruled by another unit mod?

[mons00n 3]

has anyone had luck getting this to work on a linux dedicated server? I had to rename the addons folder "AddOns"-->"addons", and once that happens I end up with path issues:

Cannot open file '/home/bb/A3DS/arma3/@norwegian_units\addons\nor_randomisation'

this problem does not seem to be present in windows since the file system is not case sensitive. Thanks!

[mons00n 3]

it's a case sensitive issue. for anyone else having this problem download the Arma2 linux server and compile tolower.c; use that executable to make all of the names lowercase!

[NNA 10]

Any chance you could add engineers? Can't find any units in the mod capable of repairing vehicles.

Love the mod, the models look amazing :D

[Rabidsquirrel 10]

I have a problem with this mod. I have this and all the required mods, i put in the keys in the right folder. i try and host internet game and my pc frezes.. if i host lan no problem, if i turn of this mod i got no problem hosting a game on the internet again. Anyone know the reason or what am im doing wrong?

[bagpiperguy 74]

Small problem, the units do not have any primary weapons when they are placed in the editor.. If anyone has a fix let me know :)

Never mind, pbo got deleted... Sorry :P

[Ketchup0434 13]

Will you be using Massi's vehicles mod to add Land Rovers and other vehicles to this mod?

And I recommend changing the sight from a ACO sight to a M68 CCO Aimpoint sight to make it more realistic :)

Hey Vasilyevich, great work with suits but you should use the m90 suits the Swedish mod makers have made for the Norwegian outfits. There you can use the old camo like in the 1.2 Updater for your suits as they Norway was useing in 1990-2000 and use the m90 suits for the period from 2000 to 2015, and I will send you picture about how "Forsvaret" thinks a Norwegian costume would look in 2030. Good work With the forest and desert camo, but if you take a look at the Swedish mod, we are also usein one square tread pattern. I do not know if it comes with the suit or if you must do it yourself. Your desert suits have to much green in it, here you can use the same colors as the Swedes but remember to not use the gray color they have. Greeting Techtronic;)

Hi everyone,

I would like to let you know that i am trying to get back to Arma after i got burned out (the interest for the game) because all i did in the end was modding for this and the community i was with. Still deciding if i keep playing arma again but when, i will start working on the mod again. And i'm still reading here, so if a game/mod breaking bug pops up i notice it and will do my best to fix it :)

And thank you all for your input, i did read everything and i really appreciate it.

Thank you for liking the mod, giving feedback and hopefully having fun with the mod in Arma :)
