You sure have alot work to be done. Did Iraq even have a navy worth mentioning? I read that Iran used its navy quite lot in Iran-Iraq war but I have absolutely no clue if Iraq even had one.

Yeah they did but was very small compared to the army and airforce - will be doing a partol boat and a missile boat for part of the campaign.

But in the two gulf wars - hardly much happened on the navy side for Iraq

[miles teg 1]

Yeah I think the Iraqi Navy was destroyed rather quickly in the first Gulf War but it was only a few ships.  They did however have some rather nasty shore-based Exocet missile batteries.   A few of those missiles almost hit some US ships but were shot down by British AA missiles from some of the Royal Navy ships.

Oh...also I do remember seeing pics of Iraqi mine laying vessels.  Some of these were boarded and captured by US forces.   It would be cool to see some anti-ship mines in OFP.

The Iraqi ships with these mines I think however were basically converted trawlers (civilian ships) that were covertly laying mines.

At any rate, I'm eagerly awaiting the updated Iraqi infantry teaser addon.  

I also can't wait to see some good Fedayeen militia addons, especially the ones with just the black uniforms and without helmets.  Maybe just a headband on some of them with verses from the Qu'ran written on the headbands.  

But some with just civilian clothes would be good also.

In fact Arab civilians are one of the addons that I would like to see most in OFP.

Yeah thats right - i have pics of the Iraqi mine laying tug boat - was captured in the latest Iraqi war. So i have pics of the boat itself and the anti-ship mines.

About the missile boat - will be making the russian OSA-II class missile boat as they were used by Iraq and look cool.

Yeah civlian arabs will be coming but all in good time

I beleive it was Australian Naval personel who boarded and captured at least two of said minelayers.

[miles teg 1]

Yeah I think you are right. Apparently the US Navy didn't bother boarding the ships and only sank them.

I can imagine:

"Captain, the crew of the Iraqi minelayer is vigorously waving white flags at us in an agressive manner!"

Captain: "Open fire with all available cannon and missiles. Then proceed to calll in an aistrike for good measure."

Am making my own set for the Iraqis - it gives me something to do

There are about 19 weapons used by the Iraqis and once i have done the models i can't msg you about texturing them. A lot of the weapons are just variants of say the AK-47 etc.

Shouldn't be too hard but enough to give a good variety for the Iraqis

[bmgarcangel 0]

Do you guys need a SKS by any chance?

I'm putting final touches on one that i built, The Unsung will be using it and possibly another mod or two....just curious though if the Iraqis used it too.

No the SKS isn't one of the weapons we will be using. I think that there may have been the odd one used by soldiers or civilians because i have photos of German WW2 Kar rifles or something similar used by soldiers.

But thx for offering we won't be needing that

[ni-mh 0]

any chance of a little update on the mod?

[JdB 151]

Well, I am sure they are progressing, but you'll have to wait for RTR to release some pics (I forgot the forum adress )

[RTR_Commander 0]

Sorry its been awhile - is progressing slowly. Have got our next version of the Iraqi troops done and are been prepared for a release as a teaser again.

Will get some pics sorted soon am very busy working at the moment.

Oh wow!!! That looks amazing. It looks like some of the marshland areas of Iraq and the soldier's uniforms look incredible. Very nice.

[Hornet85 0]

all are erly betas but not the M4 they are from Inq (and no the UH is not from SEB NAM or any other MOD)

[bucket man 2]

Oh great now I hate you! When I saw those pictures my moods were like this:            

Then I almost choked in my own drool.

[miles teg 1]

Ooooh.... a Hawk missile battery!!! Sweeeet! Have you guys got it firing with the disappearing missiles yet? Col. Klink wrote a tutorial on how to do it. I don't have it handy with me right now, but when I get home I can post the link to that tutorial.

Just cross-read thru the entire thread as I came from the "Large Ships" thread... but it does kinda seem pointless to ask about your beautiful LCAC and if you're EVER going to make it work to carry vehicles & stuff...

We haven't been working on this because the Iraqi men have been out priority. Will be going back onto this at some point tho.
