Bas delta/ranger update

[hellfish6 7]

There's a mountain on the 10th Mountain's base that they regularly march up and over. Granted, the 10th Mountain is as much of a mountain division as the 101st is an airborne division, but the fact of the matter is that the 10th Mountain is light infantry, and all light infantry are trained to fight in difficult terrain, including jungle, mountains and snow. Even the 25th Light Infantry Division in Hawaii has mountain warfare training.

The difference between the 10th Mountain and the Royal Marines is that the Royal Marines are more like Army Rangers or US Marines - above average soldiers who endure rigorous testing. There are no tests to get into the 10th Mountain - it's a line unit. Anybody can be assigned there at any time.

Ok, this has nothing to do with the "10th Mountain Division-Discussion", but i've a question to the Rangers:

If i place a Rander (S) with Grenadelauncher (WoodlandCamo) in the editor, he has 5 Mags for the gun and a GrenadeVest (afaik with 24 Grenades for the launcher). But as far as a start playing with this unit, he has no Magazbies, only the 24 Grenades. Do only i have this problem? Is there still an answer (didn't read all pages  )?

I think he has just the wrong magazines added (non-silenced instead of silenced).

It's the same with the Desert Ranger (S) GL. The other Rangers GL (non-silenced) and Delta (silenced and non-silenced/Desertand Woodland) work just fine

Medicus - read back a few pages, we ARE aware of it, and it IS being fixed. Please bear with us whilst we get the patch tested (so that you don't have to go through this all over again )

Arg ... i'm sorry.  

And Currahee! ... looking forward to the patch!  

The units/weapons are excellent and it's really fun mapping and playing with them!  

[dm 9]

Not a problem mate.

And if you have that much fun making missions with them, care to share the skills with us lesser mission-making mortals?

We mission-makers need HMMWVs to ferry soldiers around Tonal . It's hard to make good urban attack missions with MARFY's unarmed Hummers providing support .

Currahee!

Currahee motto of the 506PIR of the 101st airbourne tho the 506 only has 1 battlion left and it is now an air assualt and is part of the 2nd brigade, 2nd infantry division at Camp Greaves, South Korea..

If I were you I wouldn't dare to compare the USMC to the Royal Marines. The Royal Marines will kick the american marines back to sea when they will ever meet in battle.

The USMC is highly trained but is made up mainly of short-timers who stay there for a few years. The British Marines (and the Dutch who are working very close with the British) are mainly proffsional soldiers who stay (in the case of the Dutch) to the age of 35 or longer in the case of ranks higher than that of the the Marine first class. The British and Dutch are closer to the Rangers indeed, but are more a highly specialized force than a true special force though.

note; I was not talking about the USMC MFR. Those guys are very good.

back to the topic;

WGL's HMMWS are the best around right now. I suppose you use those those. It's not as good as the future BAS ones, but you don't want to wait for those (it might take a while)

hmmmm .... i saw the "Band of Brothers" movie ... that's it

I'll do my very best  

I have some Coops ready, but they use some other addons, too. not only BAS (VitAPC Pack, G8 Tornado ... some are on custom Islands, some are with BAS Choppers but Marpat units and so on).

Dude, whatever, as long as they are missions, and they work!

Thats all that counts.

There are "so many" addons, and so few missions to play them.

I recon if everyone like yourself, who HAS missions, posted them to places like OFPEC or where-ever, even if you think "they arent good enough" the number of playable missions would easily double. It don't matter what other addons you use, or what island, or whatever. We need missions!!!

Ok,

Check this Link for some of my Missions (Cooperatives).

I could upload a Bas Mission, too. But don't know where i should post it. Don't want to open a new topic for (atm) 1 mission. I could PM youi a DL-Link if you are interested in it.

Ive already seached this topic.. And didnt find any mention of this one "first aid" bug... It happens when you die while using first aid, a couple seconds later (like if you would actually have finished the action) you will suddenly come back to full health, and if its a mission with respawn, after the designated spawn timer you will be whooshed away to your spawn.

This is REALLY annoying, especially in DM's where the corpse suddenly comes back to life and shoots you, I bet its just something you forgot in the script but I hope you fix it in the next update...

Cheers

[chaztheducky 0]

but back to my original question. could yall make the 10th mountian boys?

[dm 9]

Re. Dieing - will modify the script so that this doesnt happen. Sorry, the KISS nature of the script overlooked the fact you could "come back from the dead"

Re. 10th Mountain. The "standard soldier" will be back in the pack in the next version, so you can have them via setobjecttexture (as explained in the readme) We won't be adding in "set" units to the config to depict such real world divisions at this moment in time.

[calm_terror 0]

right now the closest to the 10th mountain you cna get is hyk's soldiers just he does not have set texture on them to change the patch..

no offence but the BAS "standern" soldier is the same as the ranger..

[Messiah 2]

i don't think they ever said it wasn't? The badgeless soldier was just added to allow you to represent other Units just for the ease of keeping down numbers of addons... and in all fairness the equipment used by Rangers and the rest of the army isn't that dissimiliar... so they work pretty well

[Cpt. FrostBite 0]

my god! If you REALLY want regular soldiers use Hyk's ones. There great and work very well together with the BAS soldiers.

[Landwarrior87 0]

Yes HKY's are awesome... even the 91' Era nes to simulate the first gulf war. HYK's Modern Inf is a must-have for any Flashpointer.

[MLF 0]

except the 03 soldiers dont have proper weapons for the era, it takes to long to equip them using my limited editing skills, i cant wait to see if they are still doing there inf pack along with the desert Vehicles pack.

i equipped them with a mixture of Suchey and Earls and BAS weapons, M16's, M4's (Officer's and Engineers), M249, M240, AT4, and Javelin. pretty modern to me. The only thing i would have liked to see was a Radioman and MP guy, (MP Helmet with no body armor).

[MLF 0]

and thats one of the problems Landwarrior, is that you require other addons along with the hyk's soldiers, there great soldier models but they need the proper weapons and classes such as radio man, but everyone should have sucheys marines along with BAS's stuff, but it just takes to long to edit them to get em right.
