[WIP] PSZ: Polskie Siły Zbrojne (Polish Armed Forces)

[kuIoodporny 45]

Hello, folks.

 

On the behalf of the PSZ Team, I would like to present You a project we've been working on.

 

 

 

 

THE BACKGROUND

 

Since ArmA2, our dream was to provide at least a somewhat complete, realistic Polish Army faction for the game, in quality that could compete with the best mods from the international scene. Even though we were short on people, assets and even experience in some areas, we managed to make a first versions of the mod for A2, bringing attention of polish military industry, which offered us a few nice contracts. This lead to the absence of the ArmA2 mod release.

 

Now, it's ArmA3 time and we're both bigger, stronger and more experienced; We have a much more elastic product to build on. And we did, in fact, built some pretty nice things on it, things we should be able to release in 2015.

 

What could be expected?

 

 

THE PLAN

 

The general idea is to release the mod as soon as the base is ready, then build upon it, until we have everything one could ask for in terms of realistic Polish Armed Forces faction(s).

 

Initial plan includes PKW 2010 faction with weapons, infantry and some vehicles, which then should be supported by following Special Forces, PKW "Motorpool" and also the 2020-ish PKW faction updates. 2020(-ish) faction will be there to include the newest weaponry polish military industry is trying to incorporate, like MSBS Radon assault rifle, Negev LMG and possibly more, like ATGM Rosomak APC variant.

 

The mod will be fully standalone (meaning it will require no other mods to use it).

 

The mod will fully support ASDG Joint Rails and Muzzle devices and at the very moment we're discussing possible usage of MRT Accessory Functions and Weapon EventHandler Framework.

 

And finally, remember that everything was made to depict real-life counterparts and their behaviour as much as possible, while keeping the best possible visual and technical quality.

 

 

THE FIRST RELEASE

 

...is planned for 2015. It will include the following things:

[Dwarden 1125]

very nice work

[papanowel 120]

Looks very promising, good luck with the project :)

[mistyronin 1181]

Yup, looks amazing!

Be aware with the uploads tho hahaha (that goes for keeway)  :P

[vintorez 250]

Really good news! Pictures promise to be great MOD. Especially, there is no well-made, public released, Polish units in ARMA 3. Therefore I'm very happy that you start this MOD and I hope you succeed.

 

Panowie, życzę Wam powodzenia!

[wordy-uksf 38]

Dreams come true, it will be awesome, powodzenia od UKSF panowie :)

[RozekPoland 591]

The content of the mod looks promising :) Great screenshots!

 

Powodzenia!

[Kubakowski-UKSF 0]

Wyglada obiecujaco

 

[miketim 20]

Looks awesome!

Maybe after release we can get some RHS mag compatiblity :))

Powodzenia :)

[bagpiperguy 74]

Looks awesome so far. I like playing as the polish armed forces, now I did see that you will include the PKM But will it just be a regular Russian PKM Or will it be the Polish UKM-2000.

 

 

Also how far are you planing to take the mod, are you hoping to have all of the major equipment like the Leopard 2A4, PT-91 Twardy, KTO Rosomak. There is a good F-16 mod out already with polish textures so that may make it easier for you guys but... what do you think about, H225M, PZL W-3 Sokol, Mig 29?

[flippy_rage 23]

Ok, looks great. I'm looking forward to play it.

I've gor few questions:

- Are you going to add some vests from Lubawa?

   http://www.lubawa.com.pl/index.php/en/balistyka-2/kamizelki-kuloodporne-2/modular-external/protector

   http://www.lubawa.com.pl/index.php/en/balistyka-2/kamizelki-kuloodporne-2/modular-external/defender-pro

- Will Polish airbone helmets be included?

- Any chances for armor like Leo2A4, Leo2A5, PT91, KTO Rosomak with interriors?

- Will ther be Ukm 2000 and new modernised verison: http://www.zmt.tarnow.pl/en/offer/small-arms-and-remote-weapon-systems/7-62-mm-general-purpose-machine-gun-ukm-2000.html?

- Are You going to add 60mm, 98mm and 120mm mortars and statics like NSW and other HMG's and GMG's?

That's all for now :)

Good luck\ Powodzenia

 

 

 

That Spike calls for extra polys and texture work ;D

[GieNkoV 30]

Is that RHS's RG-33 ?

 

Found answer.

[ACPL Jon 68]

 

 

 

Hello. Thank You for all of Your kind words.

 

Now let me adress some of the questions :)

 

@Mike Tim

Maybe after release we can get some RHS mag compatiblity

We could, but for what weapons? Problem is, that as far as I remember You'd have trouble squeezing a normal US stanag into the Beryl rifle (or at least older versions of it). Maybe with MSBS, PKM or RPG it would make sense.

 

@BagPiperGuy

But will it just be a regular Russian PKM Or will it be the Polish UKM-2000.

A classic russian PKM for now (Poles still used that a ton in both Afghanistan and Iraq, often more than UKM because of the fact it jammed less), thanks to our friends at CUP, who saved us some work. UKM-2000 of course will be there, but not for the first release.

 

Also how far are you planing to take the mod

Lemme quote the first post :)

 

"The general idea is to release the mod as soon as the base is ready, then build upon it, until we have everything one could ask for in terms of realistic Polish Armed Forces faction(s)."

 

are you hoping to have all of the major equipment like the Leopard 2A4, PT-91 Twardy, KTO Rosomak.

Yes. Some of those are already getting prepared.

 

There is a good F-16 mod out already with polish textures so that may make it easier for you guys

AFAIR Firewill wasn't interested in letting us use his F-16 mod.

 

H225M, PZL W-3 Sokol, Mig 29

No plans for H225M now, Mig-29 is in the works, Sokół is also planned, but it's far in the future. We focus on ground forces for now.

 

 

 

[ACPL Jon 68]

Had to answer in a new post, thanks to new BI Forum settings...

@Flippy Rage:

Are you going to add some vests from Lubawa?

In the future.

Will Polish airbone helmets be included?

In the future.

Will ther be Ukm 2000 and new modernised verison

In the future :)

Any chances for armor like Leo2A4, Leo2A5, PT91, KTO Rosomak with interriors?

Yes. Especially considering we had a Rosomak with interiors in A2 and VBS2 :)

 

We'll see about Leo2A5. Rest is in the works.

Are You going to add 60mm, 98mm and 120mm mortars and statics like NSW and other HMG's and GMG's?

Some of it, yes. We already have basic mortar, ZU-23, SPG-9 and Mk19 in the game, there'll be WKM-B as well and probably a static Spike launcher, but that's probably it. Poles don't use that much static weaponry.

[flippy_rage 23]

Ok here is another one :) about ZU 23. Are You going to add ZU 23 vereion with GROM AA missiles and FLIR (ZUR23KG and other versions with Pilica stuff). 
Hibneryt would be also cool

. 

 

 

 

 

I love You! 100% no homo

[ACPL Jon 68]

Yes.

[Binkowski 26]

Yes. My favorite is coming to ArmA3.

[Corvinus 35]

Now that's something to look forward to.

[Rydygier 1317]

Great news. Good luck, gentelmen.

[flippy_rage 23]

This one is definitely one of my hype thread like RHS, ACE or Blastcore. Tapping F5 every 15 minutes. Damn.

[xwaamá 11]

Great news! Cant wait to see more of your work! Hope you'll later iclude some heavy Polish vehicles. Simply legendary!

[algrab 1]

This is gonna be badass mod! You will be crying in happyness when you see it B)

[klamacz 448]

Me likes. Good job guys, don't forget to do FFV ;)

Powodzenia.

[ACPL Jon 68]

Ależ nie ma opcji, żebyśmy odpuścili FFV ;)

 

Thanks guys :)
