That's strange. I set the "scopeCurator" setting to 2 in the config. Do I have to do anything else for Zeus?

 

Edit: Identified the problem, will be fixed in the next version.

Awesome, look forward to many a mission with the mod!

Heh,remind me generation kill...

 

[Basher_Henrik 322]

Thanks to fingolfin for update!

The addon looks pretty with addon with russian vests

If you need, i can write to author of vests, and he can send unbin files.

I took 6B3 from that addon. I tried to made OMON, but i have some problems.

Yeah, that's the look I was going for :D Forgot Colbert had a m203 attached to his m4 though

[fingolfin 1972]

Did anyone ask for SSH68 helmets?

 

 

And the 2nd Chechen War units are not that far away...

If you could get the MLODs I will look into it (but obviously can't promise anything at this moment).

Howdy! First off let me just say thank for you sharing this with the community. It's great to see, And I look forward to seeing the progress this project makes.

Secondly, With the addition of the new MVD units. Are there any plans to add units that use the Zenitco AK variants in the future?

As someone who uses zeus almost exclusively this would be amazing, As there aren't any units that use them that I'm currently aware of. If you're not taking requests however, Please forgive my ignorance.

 

Cheers!

This mod gets better every time I see it! Already adore the KLMK suits added with the last update, and now here you are, appealing to my love of SSh-68s with covers. Have you stolen my dream journal or something?

:P

[bolo861 166]

@fingolfin: Fantastic work. It looks better and better. Just an suggestion Maby You could restore ZSh-1-2 helmets that have been sacked in newest RHS update. Apparently 3d models are still there, so it only needs literally few lines of config and new classnames.

 

Regards. 

[supergruntsb78 67]

probably its just me being an idiot   but i seem to be having problems finding them in Eden .... could you please provide me the side faction etc.  (they are installed but i seem to have a problem finding them somehow) 

 

 

(i realy feel like a NOOB right now   )

[fingolfin 1972]

@bolo861 Wait and see. 

 

@supergruntsb78 You should find these units under "Independent → Caucasian Rebels → Infantry" and "OPFOR → Internal Troops of Russia → VV OSN".

At the moment I have no plans for more modern MVD units since I would have to add more add-on requirements (like VSM's gear) to make a realistic outload.

WOW! These russians looks so sexy, I like it! Great work fingolfin!

Great work! :D

[fingolfin 1972]

Thanks guys! Just a small update on today's progress:

 

 

And a question regarding the equipment of Russian Airborne Troops: How common were 6B13 vests in these units during the Second Chechen War?

[wsxcgy 1960]

I did a little digging. From what I gather, the Бармица gear including the 6Б12, 6Ш92, and 6B7, adopted around 2000, made appearances. Though the 6Б12/6Ш92 became more common later on in the war, the 6Б7 helmet seemed to phase in sooner. The 6Б12 is just a lighter and less protective 6Б13, though the 13 was around too, seemingly less common at the time. Mostly 6Б5 vests. I think a good look would be about one third having VSR 6Б12 and the rest split between various patterns of 6Б5, everyone having bare 6Б7 helmets, split between VSR and Flora M88, mostly АК-74М with the occasional odd AKS-74. The higher priority units like recon obviously got more 6Б12 and sooner and it wouldn't be strange to see almost an entire recon unit receive them. I noticed a lot of the 6Б7 helmets were painted with a simple black and tan design that would be nice to randomly disperse among the units, just google "6b7 paint" for an idea.

Just adopted during it's beginning.Depends on year you planning to.If it's beginning - definitely no.Late stages - why not.

Actually the main armor vest was 6B12.6B13 is an assault version,which is heavier and have better protection.

6B12 was like 6B23,but less comfortable.

Thank you, guys! Since I can only work with the models already included in the RHS mods the 6B7 helmet and the 6B12 vest are out of the question at the moment. My plan was: one variant of VDV troops in VSR camo with 6B5-19 vests (early war) and a second one in Flora camo with half of the units wearing a 6B13 and the other ones still in the 6B5-19. Does this sound about right?

Variability isn't a strong side of military units.

Every military unit trying to make everyone look similar,but exists exceptions.As example - in my Training company we had various types of armor vests,starts from 6B12 and up to 6b23.Camo also varies.It was 2013 btw.

But then I'll go to serve into rifle company,we had similar weapons(AK-74M/RPK-74M),similar vests of single color,similar helmets.Literally only one battalion been equipped with diffirent weapons(AKS-74,RPK-74),but it was fully equipped with it,they had no AK-74Ms at all.

 

Better make everyone similar than make everyone unique.It's closer to reality.

[wsxcgy 1960]

My idea was just repurposing and renaming the 6Б7-1 helmet in RHS and the 6Б13 in RHS. The helmet will be slightly off, but the vests are almost identical, you'd be fine just changing the armor and weight values I think.

[Pan Samogon 197]

Basically,yes,all 6B11,6B12 and 6B13 are the same armor vests.Only protection plates diffirent.

This info might be usefull btw.

[CannonSong 688]

More variants of each- time constraints and workload depending- gives a mission maker (or screenshot-taker >.>) more options. Options are good! Even if they don't necessarily find a unit to be equipped on, please, don't restrict yourself to dropping planned variants just because they were or weren't used at such-and-such time by such-and-such unit. If I have a vote, here, I say anything you want to include, (I can speak for myself in saying) I'd be grateful for!

And variety is the spice of life, y'know. :P

Variability isn't a strong side of military units. Yet somehow when I am looking at any kind of photographic material regarding First and to a degree Second Chechen War no two soldiers look alike. Even in case of only uniforms not much uniformity, for example right now I am staring at photo of convoy in the mountains and squad of VDV on their BMD track wears mix of VSR, Flora, Afghanks M88 and anything in-between.
