You would also think the Iraqi's wouldnt have chinooks, but say that to the american soldier who shot at an RAF chinook (Which then landed and then the pilot proceeded to shout and scream at the trooper)

Quote[/b] ]I believe the IFF device creates a "cold" box on thermal imagers. When you look at a HMMWV in a thermal sight at 2000m, it could look very much like a HMMWV or a Soviet-made BRDM. Whe nyou put the IFF on that HMMWV, you'll see a big black box in the middle of it on your thermal sights, indicating that you probably want to avoid shooting at it.

Oh, ok, then.

so im guessing there all new models ?

Why would you assume that? Apart from the HEMMT they are all edited (full game) BIS models.

Also, I dont think there was ever going to be any information regarding the MH-60 in this news post, the timing and content of news posts regarding the MH-60 are decided by SelectThis, the MH-60 project leader.

How big will the Desert Pack 20/30MB

[Eviscerator 0]

Without knowing the full contents of the final pack, with it compressed using makepbo, and then zipped(or compressed in an exe/rar), it would be impossible to make such an assumption

thx for answer Evis

4 more questions

1-Will there be a new Desert Island

2-How close is the pack

3-Got any pictures of the Hemmt

4-I think one of the Hummers has a MK-19<----or do I see it wrong

*edit* was forgot to ask last question

1-Will there be a new Desert Island

Naguals Lost Island is largely desert.

i was just asking, cause there are alwys big errors with the BIS Models, such as the Bmp's size etc etc.

On how many islands is Nagual working 1 or 2

Saw a time ago some pictures of naguals island and it was looking like jungle island

It has both jungle and desert portions, its made to get the most use for mission makers.

And MLF, i would say the BMP's size is a rather small error, unless you had seen the real thing in real life, with a man standing next to it you wouldnt really notice that its too big.

We have gone to great lengths to modify the existing models, to make them as realistic, and accurate as possible. This includes re-sizing them as best we can, but when you consider how out of proportion the soldier models are (they are 2m tall) making the vehicles exact is very hard...

i would disagree the size of Vehicles is a big factor, the BMP should have a low profile making it harder to spot, but hey if you have heavily edited it then thats cool, btw is this pack near or far from release?

There isnt a BMP in the pack, so we havent edited its size.

Seeing a post of a BAS member in OFPEC Forums this desert pack is real close to release in a few days

In OFPEC forums 3/4 months ago some BAS members said We will show screenshots 3/4 days before we release addons

Am I correct BAS

No, not worth getting that excited yet. Alot can change in 3/4 months.

[ruff 102]

if u guys are making all types of addons not listed on ur site y dont u guys just make a current us g.i. infantry soldier pack aswell

i mean it would just be ur rangers without the insignia and with normal m16s without the acog and reflex sights, its a hassel putting them in a intial field wat weapons u want to add etc. etc.

wood/ desert would be dam good

u can even releaSE as a different pack and say its just a ranger addon without insignias and with normal m16....... dont know if that would be easier..............

like the international army.............though the addon is good u know u guys can do a whole lot better

isnt it just easy to remove the insignia on the cpp file??? or why dont u just give a separate cpp file where u unpbo the ranger pack put the cpp rename the folder into soldier and it can exist as a separate pbo with the ranger pbo....

ill just shut up now b4 i get carried away b4 i ask bas to make new black op models, terrorists, ciasas .......

[ruff 102]

I doubt JAM will take 2 months. Maybe 2 or 3 weeks, but not 2 months...

okay ill keep track

u said 2 to 3 weeks

i know its long and probably every1 in oz will be back from holidays (uni ppl) but no..... i still beleive no way its less than one month

bas = normal lives = 80% time = 20% on making addons god knows how many

and announcing that they are working with various mod teams to create this desert and woodland....where u have to contact each other for parts of the pack to be completed tested and ask for help????

then u got jam..naguals island..updated ranger/delta... us g.i. soldiers (jk on this 1..hoping) .........littlebirds...blackhawk....seals....soarpilots....then JAM = all addons that are completed will be released when this intiative is completed no way 2 to 3 weeks

well the first week of three is comin up ill post this when three is up

yeah i know im not optimistic on the time but im also hoping like u for it to be done in 2 to 3 weeks. but nah man...niot 2 to 3 weeks....unless ur working on the initiative aswell????and i will keep track of the time frame if u r eagerly

yeah to bas.................in the words of cartman "i love u guys"..........

[Landwarrior87 0]

i know ive said this too much, but personally i think the mh60 should be the 1st on their priority list as this has been my most wanted addon as far as i can remember when BAS first came out and they pictures of the DAP's and Super Cobra's. and that was a LONG time ago.. I just think SEALs and Desert Pack's should be released after the blackhawk. What fun is BAS 75th rangers without a BAS MH60... not as fun as it would be with one.

My Big Point: release blackhawk first pweeease.

[reconmercs 0]

what we all haven't realized yet is that BAS couldn't give a rat's ass what we want released first..their the ones making it so it's on their schedule not ours all this begging, blowing sunshine up their ass, whatever ain't gonna change a d@mn thing...yeah like alot of users I'd like to see the blackhawks released, updated littlebirds and rangers more than next to useless desert addons but does that change anything....I think the community can answer that.... best thing to do is to go outside and enjoy the summer weather

Wow! Looks incredible.

The only items this pack is missing are one or two different sized and shaped camo nets for over the vehicles and shelters.  I'd like to see a dome shaped one that can cover two or three vehicles. maybe you guys could consider it at a later point ;) an OE-254 and constina wire to go with the camo netting would be great too. oh darn.. there I go again

anyway.. looking forward to this pack. It's going to rock.

Looks cool so far, glad that someone else is making HEMTT's since GalcomT lost his.  The 5tons with 50 cals are also something i was wishing for, though im not sure about the gunner animation.  Its cool and all but youd have to be insane to actually stay in that position during a firefight.  Oh and what do you think about doing a version of the 5t with the ragtop removed?

One other suggestion, I saw a bunch of footage of M548's in CNN's coverage of US convoys.  You guys thought about doing one of those? Would be fairly easy since you already got the base model from the chaparel and I think it uses the same gun ring as the one on your 5tons.

Can wheeled vehicles have turned out positions? Maybe the truck pic is the gunner turned out. BAS always strives for realism so it would be odd to see such a relaxed anim for firefights (except for convoy ambushes etc). BTW I'm just blowing hot air... we'll have to wait and see.

I was hoping for a blackhawk announcement/update but surprises are cool too. Thanks guys!
