Excellent! New units, released on a weekend....am I dreaming?

[Ironsight 1]

Nice work guys. Previous WPS releases were great, I am sure this will be superb again

[honchoblack 2]

Good job, AG Smith, the content looks excellent, downloading now.

[belgerot 33]

Great work! I am very glad to see this update, especially with the extras it brings. Finally, to see the BRDM out to the public is great news. What makes it even better is seeing the newer Mi-8 by Diesel in original Polish scheme. I cannot wait to start playing!

Dzis jest dobry dzien, piwko dla wszystkich!

Good stuff!  

EDIT: A small config bug...when you select the officer in the group (in the editor) he turns into a "soldier".

Superb, no more clone soldiers in an 8 man squad.   . Wow the Facetex.pbo is twice the size of the original...

[belgerot 33]

I noticed a small bug with the Mi-8. When you're sitting in the back and you look out the open end, the rear rotor seems to be spinning off of its' axis. Other than that, it's been a great run so far.

LOD

EDIT: Are there any plans in the future for more troops/units?

I think these are great and would love to see more Polish addons like these ones...I find the other Polish unit makers dont release much or its not of this quality.

Ive been waiting for Belerusian OPFOR for ages too.  

[belgerot 33]

As far as I know, the only mod with Belarussian troops in the works is Silent War Mod

lol

ya i know...thats what i was referring too  

They dont release much though.

[belgerot 33]

Hahah sorry. I cannot complain though, it seems OM is doing a lot in the time it has been around.

Antichrist, thank you

[ag_smith 0]

Thanks for your kind words.

CanadianTerror, thanks for the bug report, I'll make sure the error on the pic will be sorted out. Regarding the question about more units, there's an OFPL Expansion pack relaseased some time ago (ofp.info has it) that adds modern day (2005) weapons. We're also planning desert camo scheme, that's used by our troops in Iraq.

[belgerot 33]

I am very glad to hear you plan on doing desert versions as well. I've been using the OM version soldiers for a few missions, since I remember from the start of the war in Iraq there were a few units wearing full woodland BDUs. I cannot wait to see progress screens, looking forward to it

[CanadianTerror 0]

That's right...I forgot about the expansion.

Stuff guys, very good stuff.

I've been enjoying playing around with this pack, I noticed a little bug with the BRDM though, it dosen't like steep hills, they cause it to bounce around quite a lot, its fine on level ground or gentle slopes though.

Nov.11 is important for us becouse its our independence day

Agent wanted to release something for this occasion, and he did.

unfortunately, setting "deadline" on release occured in serious lack of testing and bugfixing before release.

We all are aware of most of those bugs, about some of them we didnt know. (now we know, thanks to you guys )

Im sure we will fixt all those bugs asap

Agent is putting a lot of hart and hard work into this pack, so i hope we can make it even better

Just a question for better understanding: what does "WP" mean? Just an fantasy name or real polish forces?

Thanx!

It stands for Wojsko Polskie (Polish army)

"WP" is short for "Wojsko Polskie" (eng. = Polish Army)

short WP is often used to mark army gear

anyway, thanks for mirror Clausewitz :-)
