3CB BAF Equipment

[-Eddie- 10]

Hey lifetap this is a great mod, thanks! Are you going to be adding the new Virtus system (part of FIST/PECOC) next? It includes:

*Scalable Tactical Vest (STV) that has no armour but can be scaled up with soft or hard armour inserts. Compatible with Osprey and ECBA

*Lightweight webbing to be worn under body armour

*A dynamic weight distribution system that aids comfort and relieves pressure with a hard spine attached to the hip belt

*The Batlskin Cobra will be replacing the current Mk7 helmet. Pathfinder Platoon has adopted the Ops Core 'FAST Ballistic High Cut' helmet which they can attach oxygen masks and NVGs to. 1 PARA is using the Gentex Advanced Combat Helmet and rumours are 2 and 3 PARA will too.

*The helmet will be adjustable to threat levels. A visor and mandible can be added together or separately.

While we wouldn't want to rule anything out, we'd need an experienced modeller to create all of that new equipment.

The new Virtus should be good once it comes more widespread.

I'd still like a belt kit, smock, no body armour and a Bergen setup tho. High quality recce patrol look!

Nice mod :) The backpacks are awesome :cool:

[backblast 10]

Awesome work on this mod. Love it. Exactly what we've been looking for and we are in the process of jumping over from a long serving uniform mod. In doing so I've noticed that the 3CB Equipment uniforms don't seem to support unit and clan insignia patches. The models have the space for them on left and right upper arms, but im guessing it's not config'd in? Are devs aware and is it on the list (I can be a patient man), or did I do something wrong? :P

[evrik 841]

We are aware of this. It is an oversight on our behalf. The uniforms should have had a hidden texture in the config to allow for insignia. When we get around to releasing v1.1 of the Equipment pack (we are currently trying to get the 3CB Units and Weapons updated), it will be corrected.

[Rook Mk1 46]

Have you ever considered adding gorgets/neck guards to the osprey vests?

[evrik 841]

Yes, but I don't think it will be happening any time soon. We have moved on to correcting issues raised about the weapon pack and adding in our own launchers so that we can release the 3CB units for use in missions / Zeus. After that we'll be moving onto finalizing the Jackals / Coyotes and hopefully the Apache. After that is done, we might return to the Equipment pack (as we ultimately aim to overhaul it quite a bit with new uniforms / vests and some older pre-2010 DDPM / DPM camo stuff), or we might move onto some other vehicles such as the Chinook, Wildcats, Merlins, Land rovers etc... There is quite a bit to do so it all about prioritizing. We'd like to get everything to a v1.0 release before we get drawn into focusing on any one particular pack.

Cool, hope you all have smooth progress with that :)

Good luck for the next step. You have the greatest UK Mod so far :)

[octop01 30]

Since you got a pilot vest with multi terrain pattern, wouldn't it fit to also also include a MTP helo pilot suit or even g-suit?

[UK_Apollo 476]

Can you post some reference photos of RN pilots in that please, Octop?

There's no such thing as an MTP flightsuit. At least not yet. The only MTP uniforms worn by aircrew so far are two-piece uniforms similar to the old CS95 MTP uniform, but made of fire-resistant material and with extra pockets and things.

IIRC there's a Fire-resistant smock as well.

The armed forces are looking at updating all the aircrew's equipment over the coming years but at the moment it's sage green flightsuits and Desert DPM armoured life preserver made by Survitec Group, who also make the G-Suits. Eagle Industries designed a new armour vest for the UK's aircrew but I don't think it's gone on issue yet.

[evrik 841]

While there isn't an MTP flightsuit, we will add in a DDPM and DPM pilot vest in the future, along with an MTP crewman overall to accompany the black one.

Yep, i meant something of this. Although this has no MTP. I just thought it would be more fitting to also add MTP flightsuits. About the g-suit, there probably is no MTP version, it was just a suggestion without reference. Ultimately it is your decision to whether include something or not.

[UK_Apollo 476]

We're all about authenticity, as far as possible, so if it doesn't exist we're unlikely to do it.

just so you know your holsters for a glock 17 is nothing like the glocks holster, this is what is used.

Thanks Corax, I've added this to the backlog for a future release.

[kgino1045 12]

Can we have BDU version uniform? the current one looks like it make wrist to suffocated.

[serjames 357]

Lifetap, that was a very polite way of saying...

"Guys, we're getting lots of "can we's" that's lovely.... But give us a chance. Please remember - we have little to zero ability to create new models despite numerous requests and invitations for people to come and help us... Anything that doesn't already exist as a model somewhere is not going to get created from thin air - if there are any modellers out there that want to come and work within a really friendly unit... the invitation still stands. And perhaps we can make some of the other stuff people are asking for."

There :-)

hay there I don't know if some one has reported this or you guys already know but some times when someone is using the T-shirt with the MTP trousers that there arms go white. I dont know if its the mods we use that cause it to go like that now and again but I am not too sure.

I'm gonna ask the question that all the others would ask and that is what mods exactly are you running, just so we can see where the conflict may lie.

It's a known issue with the ArmA 3 uniform model that we've used to make the t-shirt. Lifetap can probably add more technical information.

But basically you'll often see the arms with a different skin colour to that of the face - not all players will see it at the same time.

I'm not sure it's a bug we can fix, but it only applies to the t-shirt.

[Bulajunior14 12]

Have you thought about making a Belt kit set to use instead of a Osprey at some point, thought it may be a nice addition, seeing as they are still in use, would also be both a nice addition and change from the same kit.
