that is an apc based on the merkava mk4 chassis really all we have to do is remove the turret on our merkava mk4 but since these thing is not used yet it is not something We should bother to make yet.

as for the campain there would be 2 parellal campains.

well should be atleast.

Merkava Nahmer ARV. "Nahmer" means male leopard.

yeha that is the armoured recovery vehical.

the other thing before was the apc verision with the over head weapon system with either the negev or probly an 20mm autocannon.

i don't evne think imi has made an prototype yet.

[habahaba 0]

Calm Terror is right these are 2 different vehicles.ARV is based on Merkava3 and the APC is based on Merkava mk.1 because now IDF wants to take first Merkavas off servise.

[Przezdzieblo 0]

Right now no plans for a Rhino, however we will be making some of the jeeps featuring M40 recoiless rifles and Negev's mounted on them that IDF Special Ops units use.

We also have some Humvees that also will likely be made with both M240 and Negev versions.

You can make two models of Negev, because to feed this gun with m16 mags it needs adapter, so I think if soldier wants to use m16 mags then he/she will change this adapter before mission.

He or she  Sounds nice.

I suppose it is still sci-fi, but maybe when LB made all regular vehicles this would appear too  

Does that APC not exist? if it does it would be great to make that one for ofp.

Can you get more information about it and whats the name of the apc?  

Photo - prototype of Achzarit II (based on Merkava I or II)

Projects - Nemrah (Merkava IV)

I understand modeller shortage but hope that I would see more Israeli stuff (including "one of the coolest APC's in exhistence" ).

If you ask about Achzarit, yest its based on captured egiptian and syrian T55s chasis.

New rifle-

It is the Colt 9mm Model 635.  It is basically a modified version of the Colt Commando carbine but with the barrel, magazine well, and other parts modified to accept 9mm rounds.  In addition the IDF attached a front pistol grip for better control during fully automatic firing.  We will have both silenced and regular versions.  Aside from the Uzi variants, this is the only other sub machine gun that we could find info about the IDF using.

Anyhoo... here's a pic:

Below is a real life pic:

Wow, cool! Had no idea they used the Model 635.

In the 70's I think they trained with Ingram (Mac) subguns for airliner takedowns. I read that in one of the better Rogue Spear weapons mods.

[cozza 24]

kool. Delta force used them in the 1980's according to a book I got. Sure lookin forward to Lobo 3 pack

[habahaba 0]

Looks amazing!

I have one question. Don't you want to ask FDFmod a permission to use their EuroSpike, it's the same Spike but with the other name.

One more. Why don't you try to switch you microUZI to MPstudios's one?

[miles teg 1]

I did ask FDF for that missile and I didn't get a yes or a no. They just seemed a bit annoyed as we have been using ALOT of their stuff (with their permission). I decided not to push it for now. Maybe later I'll ask them again. I'm just very happy that they've let us use as much stuff as they have (BTR-60, Mig-21, AT-3 Sagger).

As for the MicroUzi, I think our current model is fine, although it needs to be textured black. So maybe I'll get permission to use that other model. But its not a high priority. What's a higher priority is trying to see if its possible to do a custom SMG animation so that we can use the full size standard Uzis for our Counter Terror units. Currently they don't look too good with a left hand floating in front of the barrel or their right hand not on the pistol grip. They really need custom animations unless we just use the BIS Uzi with the left hand on the silencer and don't use any unsilenced versions except as pistols.

Anyhoo... for now we'll probably just try converting our current mUzi textures to black.

I read an interview on Flaspoint.ru and can say that it was rather interesting, but one of the pictures surprised me. Where have you seen Negev with silencer? ISRAEL HAVE NEVER USED SUCH CONFIGURATION. Also Negev/ACOG is a very rare configuration, IDF uses Negev with reflex sights.

[miles teg 1]

Ya I know. We'll probably take the silencer off. As for the Negev with the ACOG, I think we have some pics somewhere of a Negev with one. I've never seen one with a reflex sight on it. If you can find a pic of one, then we'll probably add one.

NegevCommando/Mepor21 (most common configuration):

Negev/ElbitFalcon (very rare configuration)

[habahaba 0]

More about Mepor21. Now its becoming the most common reflex sight in IDF. Now this sigth replaces old ElbitFalcon and Trijicon. I advise you to make it. Here are textures:

actual i have seen the negev used alot with scopes and acog.

it was designed to be an lmg as well as an assualt rifler and as an sniper rifle. and the onyl reason it has an silncer is do you want to do covert mission with no lmg? hell if you wanna get anal i should make the rocket launcher verision too since it was also designed to fire rifle grenades/rockets.

[VXR 9]

There is not any problem here I think..

As It's up to the player/missionmaker to decide which negev modification he want's to use of LoBo.

[habahaba 0]

Covert operations by israeli SF are held every month and israel is the only country in the world that has such a big experience in this business.

Israel has never used LMGs with silencers and i know that exactly. So if idf don't do it, it meens that it's not so important to use silenced weapons in such operations.

It concerns not only to LMGs but to rifles too. ISRAEL USES SILENCERS VERY RARELY.

[calm_terror 0]

yeah well if you want to hear all the users bitching aboot why is there no silenced verisions. etc.

and silenced weapons are used veyr heavly in hostage rescue ops. and other covert missions not just the raid an "refugee" camp but the deep strike get in get out don't get caught missions.

you know the stuff you don't actual read aboot or hear aboot.

[Ironsight 1]

Just read the interview on flashpoint.ru, and I must say it was very interesting. I am really looking forward to the next addon pack and some Syrian units

Yes, but the IDF mostly uses silenced pistols for that, not silenced AR's or LMG's.

[habahaba 0]

1. I didnt meen raids. For example Shayetet 13, their operations in Lebanon and gaza, or Duvdevan with operations in Janin and others. That were typical covert operations.

But i never heared about silenced weapons used in that operations.

Only handguns and not everyone has it."During operations, each team will carry at least one suppressed handgun used to kill dogs during the mission, as the Territories are filled with dogs"(isayaeret.com about Duvdevan).

The other situation with UZIs they are often silensed.

Oh hmm, no answer? Well you can use it, feel free

[miles teg 1]

Thanks Mikko!  Much appreciated!   The Spike ATGM is the main ATGM used by the IDF so that'll be VERY useful for us as right now we don't have a good ATGM for our IDF soldiers at the moment (only a TOW on the Zeldas).  So thanks again for all your mods help.  FDF rocks!

Also when our Arab civilian/terrorist pack is released you guys (and any mod) will be free to use and modify that pack however you guys want.   The pack should be finished fairly soon as Newiy has done a fantatic job helping us on them and Calm Terror has been working really fast getting 'em all the models up and running in the self-contained pack.  

As for this Negev stuff... as Vixer said, its up to the mission maker to use it or not to use it.  So really its a non-issue and not a big deal.  HabaHaba, don't worry, I won't be using it in hostage rescue missions I'm working on.  In the missions I'm doing, only the normal Negev will be used.  But for players who have always wanted to use a silenced MG, it is there for them to play with.   One thing I dislike doing is limiting the freedom of mission makers.  As Calm Terror can attest to, we've had many debates on this issue.  

So I think it's good to have variety even if some of it is a bit fictional.  In real life for example, there are no Merkava Mk4's that have a Sponge Bob doll attached to the front with the words "Bullet Sponge" above it written on the tank.   But we made one because I thought it possibly could happen with a unit that perhaps had a commander with a sense of humor.

When it comes down to it this is a game and I think it's always good to have most of your stuff realistic.  But at the same time I think that it's also fun to throw in a few not-so-realistic interesting things into the mod for "what-if" scenarios.  

So its all good and offers maximum flexibility and fun to mission makers.

Oh, also HabaHaba, thanks for the pictures.  We'll see about using those to develop a sight to replace the Falcon on the M4's although we will also still have CAR-15's and M4's with falcon sights as well.   But also keep in mind that again, we are limited in our model editing skills so they may or may not come out perfect looking.    We'll probably just end up modifying INQ's Trijicon Reflex sight from his M4 kit that he made available to the public (at least I think he has one in there).
