Messiah 2 Posted October 19, 2004 Glad to hear you like the new release guys.... hopefully this has sorted out all the bugs that were annoying us... any other bug reports, please send them to us/post here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt_Phoenix 0 Posted October 19, 2004 I really love these units and use them quite a lot. I was wondering though, is it possible to make a gamelogic that removes the helmets too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted October 19, 2004 script overide will do that for you, but just the helmets no, not for now... sorry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pops-pl 0 Posted October 19, 2004 Is there an NBC soldier in the the pack?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted October 20, 2004 no... read the changes again... we simple altered the textures and model on the Respirator pouch (where they carry it) - an NBC model could prehaps be considered for a future dessert pack. Who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonstyle 49 Posted October 20, 2004 Hi I really like these units, but I have a problem with the weapons. The models are great, but I really don't like the sounds! And I was wondering, are none of the UK SA-80's fitted with iron sights, or aimpoint sights? I don't like that all the weapons has a 3x(or something) sights. Other than that, these units are really great. I read a page back something about desert UK troops? Can someone post a mirror to these? Keep up the good work!

Stag 0 Posted October 20, 2004 All front line infantry use the x4 SUSAT. AFAK, thhere are no other sights used by them. The SA80 with iron sights is used by support troops, armoured crew etc, so I'd guess so you'll probably be seiing that when vehicles start appearing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jezz 0 Posted October 20, 2004 my brother said some troops were using iron sites in iraq because of shortages of susat's(somehow im not suprised). im sure ive saw tv footage of troops at the start of the confilct carrying SA80's with rion sight also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted October 20, 2004 not suprized?? Hell, I was very much suprized to see that weren't using SLR's They were short of just about everything; -desert BDU's were so rare that damaged ones couldn't be replaced and that some guys had to go in wearing woodland camo -desert boots were even less seen and the black boots were melting inthe sun (literally). So many soldiers used iraqi desert boots instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt_Phoenix 0 Posted October 20, 2004 script overide will do that for you, but just the helmets no, not for now... sorry Well I'm crossing my fingers and hoping this will be included in future releases It would be nice to be able to remove the helmet completely from the model, and at the same time make it a lot easier to remove helmets in the mission editor. This might even cure the helmet bug when your driving around in the Landies. I use these units along with bush hats quite a bit to simulate recce and SAS troops.

Messiah 2 Posted October 20, 2004 other sights used by the troops do include iron sights (but not further than boot camp i believe) the CWS sight also designated the Starlight scope... i think thats the ones, im just trying to recall these off hand. Starlight Scope UK dont use aimpoint besides special operations (Para's, RM, SAS, SBS) in use with C7 and C8 rifles etc... and i rather be using a SUSAT than iron sights any day. as for the sounds - thats because they are JAM compliant, as we do support the scheme. After consulting our serving or ex service members and advisors, the sound was deemed to be pretty accurate to the real thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Seems like that soldier in te picture is part of some future soldeir program. The helmet looks very different (almost like the US PASGT) and he has some sort of glasses at the front of his helmet (possibly used to project info on the soldiers eye). Iron sights are used beyond boot camp. I agree with you that it's a poor choise compared to the Susat, but it does happen. In the jungle this seems to be more common, though. But that's because the engagement-ranges are extremely low, so there is no use for the susat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's still a Starlight scope though. indeed - its still the starlight scope, but as far as i can tell the guy using it is testing the uk's version of the landwarrior scheme (waste of bloody time) as for iron sights, yes, i'd see the idea behind using them in Jungle warfare - besides the shotguns of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerosene 0 Posted October 21, 2004 I dont know if this has been mentioned before, but could you guys add a laser designator, preferabaly a modern one like the BAS model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted October 21, 2004 whilst our armed forces do use LD's, we didnt see a need for it in the first release. Prehaps in later weapon packs. The uk forces use the following systems: Ours: LTMR (Laser Target Marker/Ranger) American: LLDR AN/PEQ 2 AN/PEQ 1 I can't remember which one the BAS one is, but it will work for our units in terms of realism Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jezz 0 Posted October 22, 2004 i guess thats a newer version of the star light scope than what used on slr as that was huge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted October 22, 2004 the new version of the starlight scope is the CWS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keller_777 0 Posted October 23, 2004 What about your SAS pack? Any sniper rifles of handguns planned? and something "silenced" maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted October 23, 2004 wait and see... although do bear in mind, the SAS have the enviable position to use any weapon they can get their hands on in ops - hence a weapons pack for them would be large and repetitive in terms of what you would get... there are many weapons packs out there which suffice. same with the silenced weapons.

Jonny_2LI 0 Posted October 27, 2004 Just wondering, i noticed that the light div beret (rifle green) wasnt quite as dark as it should be, i was wondering if that could be fixed at a later date please. thanks Regards Jonny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted October 27, 2004 we'll look into it with our advisors and see if they think its also too light... cheers for bringing that to our attention - if it is indeed too light, we'll make every effort to correct it in a later release Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny_2LI 0 Posted October 27, 2004 well ive got one about 30 meters away from me if you want a picci, i'd love to see it in its true form in game :P thanks regards jonny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
