Made by noone and being released by noone to noone.

And for people who know who made it, don't say a word.

CANT hold back must say it

WILCO YOUR AN IDIOT FOR EVEN SHOWING US THAT

wow i feel much better but im sorry man that was really stupid to do you show us a pic of it and dont say who its made by and you say no one is getting it please for the communitys sake try not to do that again

[Cpt. FrostBite 0]

I think I know who made it, but it was part of his private collection. But just forget about it. It's not really of any use, though; it has no gun.

The Stryker is not an LAV-25. THe LAV-25 is much older and (like it's name suggests) it's equiped with a 25mm cannon. The Stryker (named after two soldiers who recieved the USCMOH) has a .50 machinegun in a remote-control turret. A version with a 105mm canon is also being made (or still being tested). And the main differense; The LAV is for the Corps and the Stryker is for the ... .. I hate to say this word... army.

I don't know if the amry has LAV's though. As far as I know they all belong to the USMC, but I could be wrong.

@USmarine408;

*post reported to moderator*

No need to be insulting here. There was a picture shown of it in the photo-thread a long time ago. There it stated it was private collection. So you could have known about it and know the person who made it.

The Body (selection) don´t move. In Pilotview I shot with the weapon in the other direction.

You wouldn't have an animal addon instaled in your OFP directory by any chance?

If yes, remove it and see whats up.

Looking good mate, are you gonna do some STA marines aswell?

Regards.

Quote[/b] ]Suchey got the colors wrong. Way too dark.

Also I can't see the Marine Corps issuing Jungle Stalker which is half/1/4 as good as MARPAT.

No suchey didn't. The uniform looks very different under various light conditions. It's ery difficult to get it right and actually there is no real way of doing it right. Suchey tweaks the colors so they would fit the unrealistic OFP environment.

No, the USMC won't issue 'jungle stalker'. But your wrong about it being worse than marpat. In the jungle (the real jungle) the woodland MARPAT is completely useless. It's way to brown. For normal woodland the MARPAT is perfect. Remember that most countries have a special jungle camouflage. The Netherlands use british DPM as their camouflage. But it was found to be unsuited for the jungle (marpat is much browner that dpm). We are now testing a new jungle uniform which uses much more green.

Funny i have always been under the impression that NL used woodland for that? I have at least seen meany pics of NL soldiers wearing woodland but also NL(the one whit out the small colour dots, if you understand what I mean) and british DPM. I even saw som marine troops wearing woodland on an excercise in the US tho they had DPM on there helmets.

Well don't you need brown in a jungle camo as I under stand the life of a plant in the jungle is weary short and it ofcause dies and become some brown colour.

off-topic, so let this be the last post about Dutch forces;

The RNLMC (Marine Corps) uses US M82 Woodlands camouflage. This is used for both woodland and jungle operations. The Marines use this camouflage, because they often operate in jungle-like areas. Helmetcovers, gore-tex trousers and jackets, load bearing vests and bulletproof-vests are in DPM. Don't ask me why, though.

The Army and Air Force use Dutch DPM. Without the little dots, indeed. All equipment is in DPM now (even the rucksack, which used to be od-green). The new jungle uniform is for the army and perhaps the airforce. AFAIK the new jungle uniform is not for the Marines.

You do need brown is a jungle-uniform. A sort of red-brown color is the best. The coyote-brown is very god for this. But for the rest is needs to be green. If you compare the two uniforms (DMP and jungle) you'll see that the DPM has a more brown/yellow look, while the jungle uniform has a more bright-green look. MARPAT has an overall brown look.

Note that the current US M82 woodland is the modern version of ERDL-camouflage. ERDL was used in the late years of the vietam war and was very effective. The M82 woodland is really not a bad camouflage for a jungle environment, but since almost 80% of the worlds military wears US woodland (or something very simular) the US wanted something else. Hell, even our big friend Bin Laden wears a M82 woodland jacket.

points not tied to a selection

I wish you would contact Suchey and have him make a driver for your Humvees, I hate when addons do not match...

I guess that he's not going to do that, seeming as he is making his own regular marines. If he did then the drivers would not match the normal marines. Plus I guess you have to make every addon assuming the user will only have it and not another third party addon as well, not everyone has Earl and Suchey's marines. I pity them.  

At the moment I am using E+S marines with the hummer pack, the ambulance is great. That's some great work there FK, your work as well as that of Combat! are helping to bring standard US troops into the game instead of the glamourous Black Hawk Down delta force rangers stuff we see so much of, the forces that have a relatively small part to play in most major conflicts seem to get the most attention.

On a side note, anyone else noticed the explosion of USMC related sigs/profiles recently? I don't mean to flame anyone, but associating yourself with a military organisation to the point where you appear to be in that organisation is just dispresectful. Unless of course you are in that organisation for real. It's got to the point now where I see such a sig and I just assume it's some kid trying to gain respect. One example of this is:

*User name here* - USMC

And I know for a fact that person is 15.. I also have to wonder what it is about the USMC, they don't exaclty stand out from other armed forces as being particuarly special.

Anyways, keep up the good work. Don't listen to anyone saying you are just doing already-done stuff. This is more about the enjoyment you get from making an addon well than the amount of downloads or whiners who go on about little details.

I don't wish to fill this thread up with uselss posts like this..

But I was making an observation, one shared by a few other people I know.

And I fail to see the connection between people whinging about innaccuracies in an addon and people pretending to be in the armed forces to gain respect. It seems there are more 'marines' on these forums than there are in the entire USMC itself.

Well I for one sometimes use the USMC logo.Just because I can.Not being a smart ass.just saying I can do what I want when it comes to showing a Text name or Image.Thats all.But if I was saying i was something that I wasnt,That would be wrong.And as far as disrespecting the name or what ever thats not disrespecting thats showing support.

You misinterpreted my post Jaguar in your hasty attempt to make me look like an idiot.

Suchey would make a USMC driver, and it'd be a standalone addon with Earl's M16A2 (configged to a different name of course but using the JAM mags and Earl's normal [better] mags). It'd be bundled with his Humvee pack and then we wouldn't have two entirely different-designed marines running around.

Addons should match. Why don't people get it?

PS: I think it's ok for people to use the USMC globe and anchor logo if they are promoting their USMC modification but just making it to the point where they are practically pretending they are one but they really aren't is ridiculous

Ex: Saying "Well we don't wear this and that and put on that skirt with that bra" and stuff, when they aren't really a marine.

No more than you have completely misinterpretted the tone and intention of my post. I fully understand what you meant, and I was partly in agreement. I was also saying that things like this are largely up to the user to decide upon.

PS: I bet there would be only Blackdog's post under mine if I'd said "USMC r best in teh wrold!!!!!!1111!". Sorry, they just aren't. Showing support and deception are two seperate things. I never said people should change their sigs, just that they should be aware that they are more transparent than glass. How thoroughly pointless the last few posts have been.

EDIT:

Nevermind. I dont want to take this off topic anymore than it has.

Well except...Jaguar, stop whining yourself is what i was getting at.

[NZXSHADOWS 0]

You're complaining about something like USMC sigs and then your complaining about addon whiners.

That's the connection btw...just a whole lot of whining.

I wouldnt call it complaining.Just a something DKM Jaguar has noticed.Hes not the Bad guy here.I too have noticed.

Well, Suchey has left the mod scene but why would we need a specific new driver/soldier model just to drive a hmmwv I use these hmmwv's with S&E's amazing marpats (bests units in OPF imo) and it looks perfect to me, i can have a officer driving around a base or a group of soldiers escorting a convoy... i dont see the need to a specific "driver" soldier model, i just hope Fischkopp will release the vehical addons seperatly and without any dependecies so we can use the vehicals with wathever units (marines) we want or like .

I also hope someday someone will make us some nice quality helicopters and pilots for the marines too...

How about a gun pointed at your head Is that enough motivation

.

Not to hijack the thread but there was great interest in your units, positive feedback, some even offered you some help...at least one transport helicopter and a cobra would have been very welcomed and nice, but your decision not to make them was respected and accepted so... .

I don't think it's disrespectful to have a U.S. Maine Corps  nickname as long as you use the Core values "Honor Courage and Commitment", however if your being rude to others and cheating then please use another branch's nickname.

Besides we rely on young man and women dreaming to become the few the proud! So why not start making your dreams become reality.
