[Deathstruck 375]

Thank you for the warm feedback guys. :)

 

There is still a lot of stuff planned in the future. We'll slowly but surely replace/phase out all vanilla assets and introduce winter camo as well.

===============
1. DESCRIPTION
===============

 

This mod adds a fictional "future" version of the Russian Armed Forces to ArmA 3. It can be used to complement the other 2035 factions in the game.

Featured are unique uniforms, vests and gear (with their own models and textures) and included is the regular army, recon, paratroopers, Spetsnaz, sniper teams etc. in various camo versions.

For now, a lot of vanilla ArmA3 assets are utilized, especially vehicles which are retextured with the modern russian camo.

Another thing included is our own weapon pack featuring AK12 variants, AEK, Pecheneg etc. Marskman DLC features are compatible as well.

 

We plan on expanding the roster, gear and armament with further versions. Same goes for some of the ArmA3 assets/placeholders (CSAT RPG-42 etc.) that will be replaced in the future.

Mod is is currently compatible with Zeus, ASDG and ALiVE.

ALiVE users: Faction name is "min_rf" (without quotation marks).

@majidmobarhan

You don't have to quote the whole post. And just use the Armaholic link then.

Dropbox is known for blocking downloads after a lot of people use it, because I don't have a premium account. I think.

 

Some progress update.

T-14 Armata is mostly done and rolling out in various camo versions.

The EMR camo for infantry has also been remade in better quality.

 

More stuff to come.

 

[Deathstruck 375]

Still alive. Some screens from the upcoming update.

All uniform/gear textures have been upped in quality. T-14 & T-15 Armata and GRAD launcher are rolling around in 3 different camos (Green, Nakidka, Desert) and there is a new Partisan camo as well, for all you Gorka enthusiasts. :) And a Ka-52.

 

(Also not pictured, but we're currently working on an Pancir S1 (or SA-22 Greyhound) which will replace the current Russian AA gun.)

Hey guys, 

 

just dropped by to say, that I'm extremely excited for this mod, and that I am looking forward to the next release. One thing that I noticed, and if I remember right, it was brought up once here allready is, that with this mod loaded many language protocols stop working.

By that I mean, that you revert from let's say mandarin to english. also when using mods like CUP, the Czech voices stop working. My question would now be: Is there a solution to this, or is Arma only able to handle a limited ammount of different languages (nothing can be done about it)?

 

anyway, looking forward to the russkies :D

 

p.s.: I got a brand new box of tissues ready :D

[BroBeans. 279]

How have i not seen this earlier. 

 

Some nice work here, keep it up 

[Polyus 139]

I'm not drooling! You're drooling!

[dragon01 902]

How about changing some names to be a bit more accurate? For example, Mi-28 looks nothing like the Hamok, it should probably be a Kamov helo (Ka-72?). BTR-K is named BMPT in reality and T-100 was heavily based on "Tcherny Orel" (Black Eagle) concept tank. The tank would probably be using Kord HMG and not NSVT, too.

 

Also, I could have sworn that once, there were reskins of Tempest (Kamaz Typhoon) and a Russian skin for Xian VTOL that you or someone else showed. Are they being worked on, or is it just my memory playing tricks on me?

Hmm, honestly we're kinda not sure what to do with this. Haven't come with a solution yet. :/

Any more experienced scripter/addon maker maybe wants to chime in?

Doesn't really matter when it comes to BTR-K and T-100 because both are getting replaced by T-14 and T-15 Armata in the next update. (which, as I am speaking/writing, is being packaged right now)

 

Also,I am sure that wasn't us with the Russian VTOL.  But we are putting out our own version of the Kamaz.

[Deathstruck 375]

New update is up! Check the first page for links.

Also enclosing some pics of the new Pantsir AA (SA-22) and Kamaz model. The rest can be seen on the pictures above.

 

Also, important: We know that the Pantsir and T-15 seems to be shooting rockets only from one side of the launcher. Currently trying to figure it out.

 

Changelog:

VERSION 3.5 (09-05-2017)
- MBT T-14 Armata added (replacing T-100)
- IFV T-15 Armata added (replacing BTR-K)
- New 2B26-GRAD multiple rocket launcher.
- New Pantsir-S1 (SA-22) surface-to-air missile and anti-aircraft artillery weapon system
- Ported KA-52
- All Kamaz models have been improved
- New "Partizan" gorka camos
- New "Goblin-70" backpacks for recon units

- All textures have been upped in quality (Bigger camo resolution etc.)
- Some weapon textures have been edited

- Weapon attributes edited and improved
- All error messages should be fixed

 

[flv*venom* 83]

OMG and just as I was about to go to bed...

 

when I read your "being packed right now" part, I went nearly crazy. But then I thought "no way he meant that the way you understood it" :D

just had a very quick toy around with the new vehicles, they are so beautiful and just wow :D 

many thanks you guys, keep on with this mod :)

[dragon01 902]

OK, a few things...

1. Armata uses an NSVT machinegun instead of Kord (the real thing uses Kord).

2. Armata is missing its coaxial PKT.

3. Ka-52 missiles look like Scalpels.

1. & 2. Well, we've went through numerous sources, photos we could dig up and couldn't really find any definitive proof or info about  any kind of coaxial machineguns. Same with the NSVT and Kord thing. Somewhere it says it used Kord, and somewhere a NSVT.

 

Then again we don't really speak good russian and it is possible we could have missed something. In that case, if anyone can provide us some solid sources etc., we'll gladly rectify that!

 

3. Thanks. Rockets will be fixed in the next version. They're going to have their own model too.

According to Janes the Armata isn't equipped with a coax, and I would consider Janes one of the most reliable sources when it comes to military equipment.

Also I can't see one on any of the pics.

[Polyus 139]

URAHH!! Perfect timing!

[drebin052 323]

Couple of bugs to report for this version:

• The PP-2000's deploy pivot is still too low so you'll sink into the ground if you try to "deploy" it on the ground.

• The Grad gunner's camera view is positioned incorrectly when switching from free-look to weapon view. Instead of looking through the launcher's optics itself, you'll just look at the windows instead.

• The Pantsir's rear step lacks collision and fire geometry. You can move and shoot through it.

• Rear sections of the T-14 and T-15 also similarly lack collision (T-14 not pictured but it's affected too).

• The T-15's coaxial MG's muzzle effect is positioned backwards. It also shows itself when firing the main cannon (hard to see in this screenshot but it's there).

 

 

And just a nitpick (more like a request ) but would it be possible for you guys to adapt Toadie's AWM reloading animation for the Orsis instead of using the vanilla M320 LRR's animation?

When config'd to be used on your Orsis, Toadie's AWM reload animation matches well as opposed to the LRR (the hand is actually holding the bolt, for instance). The Orsis just needs a little bit of re-syncing of its animation speed and the time that the magazine gets pulled out to match the RTM. And given that Toadie made the AWM source material freely available for use in A3 mods...well.

 

For comparison:

TOP - Vanilla M320 LRR reload animation / BOTTOM - Toadie's AWM reload animation

Here's a Russian source that looks reputable (seems like a military technology news site):
https://vpk.name/library/f/armata.html

Aside from Kord (which seems like a no-brainer for Armata, seeing as it's the replacement for NSV), it mentions the PKTM and even seems to have its location. My Russian isn't good enough to actually translate that part, though (it seems that it's mounted in an unorthodox way and can be reloaded from outside).

[sammael 366]

please add ATGM to T-14

a lot of russian sources and one english about ATGM on armata
