onetwo 30 Posted July 13, 2016 I love it! When do you plan on releasing? I would love to supplement the BW Mod with your work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndeedPete 1038 Posted July 13, 2016 Thanks! Release? I don't know yet. Still got the groups to configure. But I'd also like to deliver a showcase which blends in with the existing NATO / CSAT / whatever ones. Not sure if and when that will be done. But probably in the next few days.

IndeedPete 1038 Posted July 21, 2016 Now look at that, a couple of days spent on getting this God damn camo (an American one by the way) to align and finally, KSK is deploying its new old Fennek Spähpanzer on Tanoa: And some focus on the different sides: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R0adki11 3945 Posted July 21, 2016 Very nice, plan to add any other vehicles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndeedPete 1038 Posted July 21, 2016 Thanks! I'm not sure. Aside from the obligatory Quad Bike, there's nothing really fitting the SF setting. I'm more waiting for the LSV templates in order to do them properly. Maybe I'll do the Leopard at some point, even if it doesn't fit the scope, just because it's an actual German vanilla asset. I'd also love to add some air capabilities but that would require third party models again. We'll see.^^ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IndeedPete 1038 Posted July 22, 2016 Thanks, foxhound! Even Special Forces need some bigger fire power some times... well maybe not but hey, more content it more content. Do what you feel is right. :) I have found if I produce content on a high scale, the quality decreases because of real life time constraints. With this project, I'd rather spend five days on one texture than one day on five textures.^^ We'll see where it goes. I'm actually more concerned about the vehicle camo right now. It's an old US one from decades ago, not really up to 2035. I've experimented with these Flecktarn blobs, both crystallised and regular, but it didn't get me anywhere. And the original BW vehicle camo is also just two or three colour blobs / clouds. A bit boring as well. Maybe a digital one? I found there's generally not that much variety in real world vehicle camos. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndeedPete 1038 Posted July 22, 2016 Second version, this time with the third colour applied - more or less conform to NATO standards from what I read. Not sure yet if the green is too bright under some circumstances. Then again, the same colour works on infantry surprisingly well. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valken 621 Posted July 23, 2016 Hi Pete, Was testing the new units and by far my default CTRG team so far and for your next update can you add the JTAC unit into the KSK group? The CTRG has a JTAC even though not in the pacific CTRG team. Still need this guy to call in air strikes and rain some heavy steel on bad boys. As for Near Future ARMOR, any consideration to add retext some BWMod gear. Looking good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndeedPete 1038 Posted July 23, 2016 Thanks! In fact, there is a JTAC, he's just not called JTAC but "Forward Observer". 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onetwo 30 Posted July 25, 2016 The Spähpanzer Panzerspähwagen is verry nice indeed(Pete), for variety of vehicles I'd say put the camo on the Powler LSV's as you said. That way you can move a lot more guys (7 on the unarmed) istead if just using the Fennek (4 guys). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndeedPete 1038 Posted July 25, 2016 Panzerspähwagen, thanks. Good Lord, German bureaucratic terms. xX Yes, as soon as the templates air on Tools DevBranch, I'll be on it. I've actually done the Gorgon APC in the meantime. It's based on the real world Pandur II, which happens to be from Austria. That's close enough for me. :D I've thought about it and now I believe it would be a shame to pass up on these great models, even if they only remotely fit the context. Who's looking for full-on realism can always go for the good old BW Mod. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IndeedPete 1038 Posted July 27, 2016 Some quick shots of the Pandur II. Just ignore the parts still in AAF camo, ticket has been created. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R0adki11 3945 Posted July 27, 2016 Impressive texture work on the Pandur II :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndeedPete 1038 Posted July 28, 2016 Thanks, mate! Meanwhile, Pandur II with actual Crewmen: As you can see, I'm introducing low-tech combat uniforms as I don't see why tank crews and helicopter pilots would wear the probably very expensive TI-masking attire. Colours still need tweaking as the different fabric and light relfection alter them a little bit. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R0adki11 3945 Posted July 29, 2016 As an idea perhaps add a Merlin, Littlebird, or a Ghosthawk in same camo scheme. I think they would good in the vehicle camo you have. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moon_chilD 200 Posted July 29, 2016 I would second the idea of a Merlin. From the ingame assets that would be the most "logical" one (looks a bit like the NH-90) or the Hellcat (The Sea Lynx is used by the Marine) EC-635 would be nice but it would add another dependency so its more a no I guess ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndeedPete 1038 Posted July 29, 2016 The Merlin would be the most logical, I guess. It's just the NH-90 with round edges and a few yeasr older. Not ideal but sufficient for vanilla content. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valken 621 Posted July 29, 2016 I vote Ghosthawk. It was supposedly THE Seal Team heli so it makes sense the CTRG KSKs would have access to it. It depends on the timeline. If present day, Merlin. Near future, Ghosthawk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moon_chilD 200 Posted July 29, 2016 I don't think that germany will ever get any blackhawk or even "ghosthawk" variant. I mean, we are so cheap we are using a helicopter that rusts under our asses! xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
